I received an initial sentence of 75-years-to-life in prison. I was granted clemency in August 2021 after serving four decades behind bars. Clemency afforded me the opportunity to go to the parole board in October, and I was released on November, 4 2021. Clemency allowed me to be with my wife for the last six months of her life after a long battle with cancer. Our son and I were by her side as she passed away. Since then, a transfer of parole to California has permitted me to rejoin my family and to help with the care and nurture of my grandson.
