What Prison is Like for Davontae in Maximum Security #DavontaeSanford #stopwrongfulconvictions



2 men burst into a house in a Detroit neighborhood where 4 men were watching Monday Night Football and shot them all to death. When the police arrived to begin their investigation, they saw 14 year old Davontae Sanford in his pajamas in the crowd of people wondering why the cops were there. They pinned the murders on him and he's serving 40 years in maximum security prison. Help us free him by sharing this video. Another man confessed to the murders 6 years ago and led police to the murder weapon. For Davontae to still be in prison is unconscionable. Join us in our efforts to free this innocent young man. In this video, Valerie Newman tells what life is like for Davontae in prison. It is very difficult. Share this video so others will know and the pressure on these corrupt cops and prosecutors will increase to the point where they can't cover it up any longer. 


Scroll down for the links to friend Davontae on facebook, friend his mom and send her your best wishes and click on the link to sign the petition to draw attention to this injustice.

The Bride Behind the Altar





The issue of mandatory celibacy imposed by the Catholic Church is a highly sensitive matter for the Vatican. In fact this issue is considered taboo. 
Paradoxically, it is easier to talk about child abuse and finances, topics considered "less dangerous".

Central Park 5: #EndNyWrongfulConviction





Members of the Central Park Five, who as teenagers were wrongfully convicted of a 1989 rape due to false confession, have launched the#EndNYWrongfulConviction with the Innocence Project in an effort to move long-stalled state legislation that would prevent the top contributors to wrongful conviction in New York State: false confession and misidentification. In a series of short videos produced by award-winning filmmaker Sarah Burns, Yusef Salaam, Kevin Richardson and Raymond Santana, of the Central Park 5, call for the passage of a bill that would require police to record interrogations and implement eyewitness identification reform.
