Ep. 925 – From Injustice to Redemption with Deon Patrick
“One of the things I do take solace in is the fact that my mother passed away when I was 16, so she didn't have to bear witness to me going through…because I think it would have killed her just to see her baby in bracelets fighting for his life.” – Deon Patrick

Today’s featured author is a grandfather, advocate, and speaker, Deon Patrick. Deon and I had a chat about his book, “The Hazel Boyz: The Trials of Four Innocent Men”, his story of being falsely imprisoned and left to battle a corrupt system, life after prison, and more!!
Key Things You’ll Learn:
What led Deon to getting falsely imprisoned with three other men
How he and his co-defendants maintained contact in prison
The psychological effects of being imprisoned
What’s it like to navigate society and be a grandfather after being wrongfully convicted 20+ years ago
How wrongful actions by officials impact taxpayers
