Listen to your barber

In a prior post, I wrote about flaws in the justice system and how it relates to the West Memphis Three. I also alluded to Troy Davis’ case, which served as a chief example in displaying those flaws. Meanwhile, while scoping SI.com, I stumbled upon a massive feature, a three-page byline from Jon Wertheim detailing the story Terry Harrington.

I had no idea who he was either…

To get a jist of the story: Harrington spent 25 years in jail for a crime he didn’t commit. It was racially charged, littered with conspiracy and full of lies. What makes this story so captivating (and the reason you should read it) is because of the woman who, with no legal background or education, dedicated her life to the innocence of Harrington. The lengths at which she went to reveal the perpetuation of flaws are nothing short of unbelievable. Take 10 minutes to read Wertheim’s story, it’s moving.
