On October twenty sixth, nineteen ninety seven, a group of Philadelphia teenagers planned a robbery that took place the following night at a local Delhi. After closing up, the deli owner, mister John Sue Kang, was held up and fatally shot in front of the store. After canvassing the neighborhood, police were unable to find out who had pulled the trigger, but finding those who were part of the conspiracy was
a much easier task. Those present at the October twenty sixth meeting were willing to testify against three neighborhood kids, one of whom was Tyree Wallace. Despite a wide age gap between Tyree and his co defendants, as well as multiple false testimonies exposed that trial, Tyree was sentenced to life without parole. But this is wrongful conviction. Wrongful conviction has always gave voice to innocent people in prison, and
now we're expanding that voice to you. Call us at eight three three two O seven four six sixty six and tell us how these stories make you feel and what you've done to help the cause, even if it's something as simple as telling a friend or sharing on social media, and you might just hear yourself in a future episode call us eight three three two oh seven
four six sixty six. Welcome back to Ronfuel Conviction, where another Philadelphia case has come to our attention, in which our guest, Tyree Wallace, was not tied to the October nineteen ninety seven crime scene. But when you're prosecuted for felony murder in the second degree, you don't have to be. And we'll look get into what that means in a minute, But first let me introduce Tyree, who's joining us from a Pennsylvania correctional facility, a place he doesn't belong in.
He never belonged there. But Tyree, thank you for calling in.
You're welcome, thank you for doing and.
Here with us to help share this harrowing story. His attorney, David Perry, thanks for having me so, Tyree, you grew up in Philadelphia in the eighties and nineties.
Right, yes, I did. I was born at Children's Hospital. My mother lived on Cleveland Street in South Philadelphia, but she had an alcohol addiction, and as a result of that, I bounced back and forth between she my father, sometimes my grandmother. But South Philadelphia. It was pleasant enough, but it was starting to go downhill a little bit based off of drugs in the community, but at its core was still good decent people. For the most part.
What you had at that time is a war on drugs, aggressive policing, fear in the community about recidivism, some headline making situations that caused a bit of a pendulum swing to an extremely aggressive police and district attorney approach to crime in the city of Philadelphia in the late nineties, where a lot of people would say that there was more of an emphasis on clearing cases than there was on finding justice.
And these are familiar touchdowns for the crack epidemic era and its aftermath all throughout this country, with most citizens just barely surviving both the crime that emanated from this scourge as well as a police force that acted with impunity, and the communities pulled through on the strength of folks like the victim in this case, mister John Sukang Rest in peace.
He was just the giant in our community. He ran the Salt and Peperative Deli on Seventeenth in Ellsworth and most of the other Korean American establishments in South Philly. They normally only hired other people from the Korean American community, with the John intentionally hired from the people who lived.
In South Philly.
The store had a familiar feel as a result of that intentionality. But then you had a bunch of people with jobs who would not otherwise have them if not for mister John.
But not everyone is a pillar of the community, like the armed young man or men potentially even boys who may or may not have conspired to rob mister John. As he closed up shop one night in the Salt and Pepper Deli.
At that time of night, there is mister Kang working there, of course, and there is Levanne Griffin, the clerk. Levan Griffin talked of three individuals, perhaps including a woman, come in moments or minutes before the murder. They leave as they're closing up the shop as they would normally do. Mister Kang is holding a bag of money. Levan Griffin has already exited the store, heading towards home, and mister
Kang heads towards his car. Levan Griffin hears a loud bang, turns around and sees mister Kang having fallen to the ground. Levan Griffin takes off running. There was never really any physical evidence. There's no DNA element to this case, and Levan Griffin spoke with detectives soon after this. Griffin could gives some statement about somebody shorter and more heavy set
or chunkier than Tyree and also darker skinned. Levan said, they told me the people who walked into the store right before closing were involved in the shooting, and I personally had no knowledge of this.
We're really not sure where they got that information, considering that the loan witness had just told them that he'd only seen one shooter. Perhaps they were trying to get him to identify the people who had come into the store since he had actually seen them and could then serve as a reliable eyewitness regardless of if those folks were involved or not. Now we're really not sure of their motives other than the significant pressure on them to close this case.
It was the absolute talk of the neighborhood, and I remember thinking clearly that they are going to absolutely bury somebody for this, and that would be justified. I'm like, who would do this to mister King?
Right?
The Korean American community was in an uproar, and rightfully so, about what happened to missus. John Young's who came and they were demanding results. The officer, Charles Boyle and others and my cads decided that we're going to get a conviction.
So the police began canvassing the neighborhood and putting pressure on a number of neighborhood kids. Raheem Shackelford, Matthew Corporu, James Davis, the first two of whom ended up becoming Tyree's co defendants.
So I was from a block that was called nineteenth and eighty. All of these guys you just named were all guys from seventeenth Street. Now, while there's not a great distance, it was to rivaling communities that wouldn't have anything to do with each other. All of the guys again that you just named, were all fifteen year olds and fourteen year olds. I was nineteen years old. We weren't in the same social circles. We were from rivaling community. These we just did not interact.
But there was one source from Tyree's social circle that helped the police link him with Raheem Shackelford and Matthew Corporal.
An associate of mine at the time, Brian Brooks had a girlfriend named Tracy Drayton. Tracy's nephew was Matthew Corporal. On one occasion at Tracy Dreaton's house, I was introduced into Matthew Corporrew we shook Haynes never saw him again until I was on trial with him for a robbery.
Howm is that?
And the narrative eventually became Tyree and Brian attended a planning meeting with these fourteen year olds the day prior October twenty six, But no one is exactly sure of how this narrative came to be.
I'm not exactly sure if I'll ever really know the order of events. I think there is a degree I suppose of going to the usual suspects, and I think one person pointed to another and it just sort of became what a lot of these guys have said is sort of any two will do. And when it got to a point where they found that had any two or in this case three, they could clear the case and sell it to the jury. But they sort of
ricochet off of each other. They knew Brian Brooks was a bad actor because he had about four other robberies.
Interestingly, while under investigation for those robberies, Brian Brooks was arrested just hours before this robbery homicide for an unrelated charge, allegedly with information to trade on So.
At four point fifty pm he's in custody and they're interviewing him about the list of crimes. The murder takes place later that night. Now it's not like Brian says, I'm aware that something's going to go down tonight, So there's no foreshadowing by Brian Brooks. In December, when Brian Brooks is questioned by the police, he says he knows nothing about the murder. Brian Brooks's December and police statement is never written down. It's only ever talked about. But
how do we know that it occurred? At least we believe it occurred because Brian Brooks would be questioned in a police statement which is written down in February of nineteen ninety eight, which basically begins with the police saying, Brian, you're here to talk to us on your own free will. Yes, it's about the murder of John King. Well, we interviewed
you in December. You said you didn't know anything about it, right, Yes, that was a lie, right, Yes, why are you coming now to tell us what you know, Well, because there's a rumor going around that me and my brother had something to do with it, and I don't like that. However, the police knew that couldn't possibly have been plausible because they could have easily said, well, Brian, of course you had nothing to do with it. You were in custody.
So even his alleged motive to come forward was incredible. In fact, Brooks had a much more credible motive for making this statement.
Brian Brooks was a court for a whole host of arm robberies. Each arm robbery had assault and we shortages of takes to him, and Brian was facing two hundred to four hundred years and so Brian helped these officers in multiple different cases that he just didn't have knowledge about. He was just willing to say whatever needed to be said to take two hundred to four hundred years down to five years.
Brian Brooks would go into excruciating detail about the planning of the murder. On the day before the murder that Tyree and others came by James Davis's house. They're talking all about this big plan for the following night, and if this is to be believed, the day of the murder, Brian is being questioned in custody, ostensibly about a variety of crimes. He's not trying to work that down by saying, well, I've got something for you. There's something going down tonight.
He doesn't do that. Fast forward. Now it's February, and not only does he know everything, he knew it the day before it happened.
Now, how is that? That's a good question now. By this time, James Davis also made a statement about them where he allegedly declined an invitation from Tyree Wallace and Raheem Shackleford to participate, that Matthew Corporal and Raheem Shackleford showed him a soft off shotgun shortly before the crime, and that Shackleford told him that they got one hundred
dollars off mister King. In addition, Matthew Corporal admitted to being a lookout and implicated Shackleford and Tyree, and then the police went to Lvan Griffin with a photo array featuring Tyree, Corporal and Shackleford.
And Lavan Griffin had his own issues and would later say that he was basically harassed by the police, and his testimony would later be a very weak and loose attempt to identify assailants. It was some loose reference to having a similar bust or a similar body because Levanne Griffin didn't see the shooting.
All of this together was enough to charge Tyree Wallace, Matthew Corporal, and Raheem Shackleford with conspiracy to commit robbery and second degree felony murder, and Tyree was arrested on February twentieth, nineteen ninety eight.
Yes, I was at my father's house in the phone ring. My father answered the phone upstairs. The ass was Tyrie there, and he calls down and says, Tyree, pick up the phone, and the front door gets kicked in.
I get arrested once I get there.
I was being interviewed by Detective Charles Boyle, and again I'm nineteen years old. Nervous is on him, so I say to him, I said, listen, sir, you have the one person I had nothing to do with the grown. So he looked behind him and closed the door, turned around, looked me right in my eyes and said, you know what he said. I believe you said. I don't give a fuck.
You're listening to ron for conviction. You can listen to this all the Lava for Good podcasts one week early and ad free by subscribing to Lava for Good Plus on Apple Podcasts.
In the commission of a felony, if anybody has killed, everybody involved in that conspiracy receives a life sentence. So what people like Charles Boyle has been able to do is to weaponize that law. So he wasn't guessing this was a blueprint that he was so confident that he was just willing to reveal it to me. He said, let me tell you what the rest of your life is.
Going to look like.
You're gonna spend the next two years at CFCF then you're gonna get convicted of second degree murder. They never had to accuse me of killing mister King. They never had to accuse anyone of killing mister King. All they had to do was convince a jury that these three young black men who didn't know each other, we're in a conspiracy to roy mister King, and as a result of that, he died and everybody gets a life sentence.
Rahim Shaka Ford says that when he goes into a courtroom for the first time to see Tyree, he says who's that guy?
And as Tyree said earlier, he had only met Matthew Karprou once in passing. Nevertheless, just like detective Boil predicted, Tyree awaited trial for nearly two years and he was tried along with his co defendants in October nineteen ninety nine.
So I did have a quarter pointed attorney, Daniel Green, and in retrospect, having some standing of how the system works when you think about the fact that the courts are in business and the de's are in business of punishing crime, of getting convictions. So when they are appointing you a coin appointed attorney, your immediate thought and this person is here to save the day, and that's not necessarily the case.
This person is.
Here to meet the standard of right he or she he had representation, and a lot of times they are there to help facilitate this process. And nothing stood out more to me than during the trial when my father said he came into a courtroom and Daniel Green and Evan Luiz, who was the discrease fired eighty A in my case, were just like just chumming it up.
So my father went in, put the.
Money together to get a paid attorney, put in a motion to have this attorney come on. This was two days before trial, and the judge said, well, listen, I can't stop you from bringing in a paid attorney, but I am not postponing this trialdy.
So the attorney has two days to learn his keys.
So they stuck with Daniel Green, and it appears that every state's witness was coerced and or incentivized.
The narrative in the theory of the crime is that shackle Ford and Tyree Wallace accost Kang, shoot him take his money, with corporal present as a lookout, and Griffin hears it. He turns around quickly enough to see mister Kang slump onto the ground, and he takes off running scared.
Remember, the state's narrative was that the assailants had entered the store before the crime. Now le Van Griffin was coerced into making IDs with the threat of his own charges. In addition, he had seen only one shooter, who he described as short, chubby, and dark skinned. Tyree is six', too slim and light. Skinned Yet griffin still Id shackelford And, tyree So tyree's lawyer was able to Impeach griffin on Cross.
He read the description, though and as you pointed, OUT i was the polar opposite not only height but, weight skin. Color Danny green Asked Levan griffin, directly are you saying that my client is the person that came into the. Store his response, is, no he fit the. Description so my lawyer, said, listen you're, honor please tell him to stop singing it and just answer my. Question so my lawyer asked him, again are you saying that he's the person who came into the. Store he's, saying, no he
fit the. Description so he, said you're, honor please make him stop saying. That so the court stipulates that this was not an, identification that it was something.
Lesser, Dan you Had Matthew, corporu who claimed to be a, lookout but his statement presented a familiar constitutional. Issue corporal has His Fifth amendment right against self, incrimination and, conversely his co defendants have the right to confront their. Accuser so to satisfy everyone's, rights they had a redacted version Of corporal's statement read into the.
Record they Put Charles boyle on the stain who read his statement into, evidence where he would, say me and two guys planned to do this. Robbery so it's three people in Proud he's, saying me and two. Guys the fact that this detective is reading this into the evidence gives it.
Validity and even Though tyree And shackle for his names were carefully left, Out levang had made his. Identification, however impeachd may have been and remember to convict them of conspiracy and second degree fellowing. Murder they didn't have to prove who killed Mister.
KING i didn't realize that THE da wasn't even trying to prove a legitimate connection between me and the. Scene she was only trying to convince these twelve people that these three young black men were in a conspiracy to rob Mister. King now that was not, true, obviously but that's a much lower.
Standard so they heard testimony about The october twenty sixth planning, meeting starting With James davis and his Mother Sonya.
Godfrey his, MOTHER i think lied on the stand about time of day and what she. Said when she turns out she was at work and wasn't even, home and so she was caught in her. Lie it sort of smelled like an effort to Shield James davis from being sucked into this whole, thing and it sounds like it.
Worked when she was court In, alie she said that they made her say.
It she didn't want to see.
It, then when her son undercrossed, examination said that the police harassed, him that they brought him and his mother to the station three or four.
Times for whatever.
Reasons James davis never became engulfed in the police's efforts back, then but there's seemingly a pretty consistent chorus of people who are incredulous of What James davis had to.
Say James davis said that at the planning, Meeting shackelford And tyree asked him to, participate but he, declined and Then shackelford And corporu showed him a shot off shotgun prior to the crime and after the fact told him that they only got one hundred dollars from Mister. King and Then Brian brooks also claimed to have witnessed the meeting and that after the, Crime tyree told him That shackelford was the.
Shooter brian tells this story and then after he's finished giving his, testimony he goes back to the holding area of the courtroom and he turns To Sheriff John hamilton and he says to the sh, Sheriff, Hey, sheriff what's the penalty for? Perjury and the sheriff says a three to five.
Years.
Why it's, like, WELL i just lied up. There they made me say. That so the sheriff goes and reveals to the judge what this witness has just said to him within minutes of. Testifying in this, case there would be some delay. There the sheriff told me. That as that was all, unfolding some of the other police around actually said to the sheriff, like what are you an inmate?
Lover an inmate?
Lover it was clearly very revealing about the culture in which a lot of these guys, operated And Sheriff hamilton was, like, NO i know right from. WRONG i have to tell the. Court so they brought the sheriff on the. Stand they Brought Brian brooks back on the, stand and that's when The ASSISTANT da basically said To Brian, brooks hold on a, minute what happens to people who tell on other people in? Prison what are?
They they're?
Snitches so you're just really worried about being a, snitch, Right your testimony was.
Accurate realized that THE da did a lot of things in that trial that she wasn't supposed to do as a. Prosecutor but NOW i understand the purpose of. It the way she was able to Explain Brian brooks's recantation was just not. True but she did these things over and over. Again she had a pattern in. Practice SO i need people to UNDERSTAND dh they have immunity for doing. Anything they have to be seriously corrupt in order to get, fired and she wound up being, fired.
But that was many years after it would have Done tyree any. Good, meanwhile the attorneys for all three were able to expose inconsistencies and falsehoods From Levon, Griffin James, davis And Sonia, godfrey followed By Brian brooks's in court, recantation and Then tyree's. Alibi witnesses told the jury where he was that.
Night he was At Damon milligan's house With Damon milligan's mother and. Girlfriend but this house that they used to hang out with was a bit of a, party not exactly the most credible witness to put in front of a. Jury they were easily discredited by the DA's. Office so the alibi just sort of frittered.
Away it also didn't clear him from The october twenty sixth.
Meeting there was another witness who would never be Called Jonathan. Muldrew mouldrew had gone down and spoken to either THE da Or summon in the office and he actually expected to be somehow called as a witness by the. Prosecution muldrow was At James davis home where this supposed the planning session took, place And muldrow was, like, No i'll tell you the, truth and who was there and who wasn't.
There muldrow Professes tyree's innocence and complete. Uninvolvement tyree's lawyer tried to Get muldrow to come, testify And muldrow was in the, hospital and there's an exchange where the judge, says, look i'll help you, Help i'll serve a, subpoena will get him to the court if you need him, testify and they just gave.
Up just gave up on the independent witness who could have destroyed the planning meeting, evidence so that left only his alibi witnesses against Cor pru's redacted. Statement The Van griffins lesser than id supported by the parade of discredited state's.
Witnesses to me and.
The people who supported, me it seemed like an absolute no. Brainer when people are being court and, lies when people were saying they didn't want to, say THE da made me saying when people are recanting like At, troud this stuff is, happening you know WHAT i. Mean on top of the mindset THAT i can't be found guilty for something that didn't, new SO i was almost certain THAT i was going to be found not.
Guilty but remember the standard was much. Lower they just needed to get the jury to believe that these guys must have been involved in some way and the events that led to robbery and the resulting, death whether that was, planning actually robbing and shooting Mister, king or even merely just being a. Lookout when there appeared to be doubts About corporal's, GUILT.
I think there was at least a jury question or note that had been, passed and they gave the prosecution a little bit of nervousness about getting a conviction On. Corporal so for whatever reason or for those, reasons they would strike a deal With corporal before the verdict would come down on Shackle.
Ford And, wallace so corporal was not included in the verdict that led to life imprisonment for Both Raheem shackelford And Tyree.
Wallace my mindset was THAT i couldn't be found guilty.
BECAUSE i didn't do it LIKE i genuinely absolutely believe that. Right so of course that afforded, hope, right but then they read the verdict.
And the verdict was. Guilty it's hard for me to put in words how that. Felt it was. Disbelief it was not.
Understanding as soon as they gave me the, OPPORTUNITY i spoke out immediately at trial and, said you're HONOR i did not commit this.
Crime it wasn't viewed as someone wh.
Didn't commit the crime fighting for their life, right which is what it. Was it was viewed as this convicted murderer being. Disruptive so AFTER i was sentenced to, life THEN i wasn't shipped. Upstate it was absolutely what you think prison is supposed to be. Like it was extremely, violent it was extremely sexually. Violent that was my first encounter With Central pennsylvania CEOs and how they don't like people From, philly how they particularly don't like black men
And it's my first time ever encountering this type of. Energy, Right it's like the stain for, me for people who don't know, me there was a violent. Energy, Now fortunately the neighborhood THAT i come From South philadelphia had a strong presence in the.
INSTITUTION i went right into that.
Fold but THEN i immediately switched my mind to all, RIGHT i have to fight, this AND i got introduced to the law library and really got focused on. Learning BUT i saw at a really quick face that this is language that.
Is created by this. System these are rules that are created by this. System and then the people who want to keep you in, prison they are the arbiter of whether you are successful or.
Not his initial appeals were, denied as was his first post conviction motion or but it's known as A pcra in two thousand and, two which was based on an
Effective assistance Of, council While tyree filed successive. Pcras Matthew corporal swore an Affid david For Raheem shakle for his attorney in two thousand and, seven saying that he alone committed the robbery homicide Which tyree only heard about in two thousand and, nine but In finally a NEW pcra based on that Affid, david the state presented paperwork stating That corporal was mentally ill and requested a psychologist to demonstrate what they had known at the time of.
Trial corporu was clinically insane at the time of front the major, depression bipolar, schizophrenia and projection, issues and it dates back to when he was a. Child the only REASON i know this is BECAUSE i had access to his records as a result of the competency. Here so they knew this about this man and still took a statement from.
Him, obviously THE pcra was, denied but corproof should have never been relied on in the first. Place, then in twenty, thirteen The Pennsylvania Innists project signed on To tyree's case and they unearthed much of the exculpatory evidence that you've heard.
Today their private investigator went, out combed the, community spoke To Van. Griffin he wanted to come, Forward Rashie, grant same, Thing Ricky, wilson same, thing on and on and on and on and.
On there is all of this.
Evidence Le Van griffin said that police threatened him with his own charges if he didn't say exactly what they wanted him to. Say Rashid grant And Ricky wilson said the same thing That john muldro had. Said tyree was not at The october twenty six planning meeting At James davis's, house and ANOTHER pcira was.
Filed there was a moment there around twenty nineteen where it looked like witness interviews that With muldrow and some other witnesses they were going to maybe get some assistance from the. Court But Levanne griffin was supposed to show. Up he didn't show. Up and that was right BEFORE i got.
Involved and even though The pennsylvania And This Is project routinely reaches out to private council to help with, cases that's not How david got. INVOLVED i, mean after, all he's an intellectual property.
Lawyer SO i started this movement, here which was called Main. Up in just a quick, nutshell how that. Happened WHEN i was seeing all of this gun violence ON, tv it was really the only people that was standing up to it were the women in the. Community so my thought process was, like where are the? Men SO i, said what CAN i do about?
It in?
Here AND i knew that a lot of the young guys who were here would be back in the. Outside SO i wanted to create a movement of men understanding what it was to be a, man what that meant for, yourself for your, family and your. Community and we created this movement Called Man. Up so every week we would have four hundred and fifty. Men we had to turn away hundreds of people to get to the chapel every, week and the only thing that we were there for was to talk about being better. Men each week there
would be a different. Topic so if this week's topic was about community, restoration we would have fives people would act out a, skit somebody to do a song, outside guests come in and give speeches about community. Restoration but then we would lay out plans for how we impact our, community which is how The Street Capin initiative was. Born jobs came from. This my father one c three nonprofit,
Organization Man up came as a result of. This we did street, cleanings we had a Man up hubs and different communities on the, outside so we did a lot of positive things based off of.
It the program was being so well received that there were questions about replicating it at other, prisons so he had some intellectual property.
Questions So dave came to See may and up it.
Was an amazing almost revival like, programs and they would tackle topics like toxic masculinity or anchor, management or being a better, father or fiscal. Responsibility and, eventually through probably some deat subliminal messaging From tyree to, me you, know he wanted me to play that council. Role AND i sort of resisted it for quite a while because it
was not my. Lane BUT i, eventually with the support of my Firm Blank rom and then collaborating With Ker Bradford gray And kier having been the chief public defender In Montgomery, county having headed up The Defenders association In, philadelphia we became co counsel For.
Tyree david and Kir Bradford gray continued down the same path as The Pennsylvania innis's, project interviewing and reinterviewing.
WITNESSES i, Mean brooks has told Us tyree's. Innocent shack Of ford has told Us tyree's. Innocent muldrew Knows tyree had nothing to do with. It davis said as.
Much James davis.
Has since acknowledged.
IT i had no involvement in it that wasn't at his.
Home there's nobody in this entire chorus that Says tyree actually had anything to do with.
It as we understand, it the chorus to Whom david is referring has unanimously named an alternate suspect who may or may not have been one of the state's trial. Witnesses, now we're certainly not in the business of making accusations that might lead to another wrongful, Conviction so we're going to refer to the chorus of state witnesses and others who Proclaim tyree's.
Innocence Levan griffin knows That Tyree, WALLACE i mean that how many more. People the, sheriff who sat in the, courtroom who has a pretty healthy experience of watching people, testify believes That Brian brooks's recantation was actually the truth coming. Out so the sheriff Supports Tyree. Wallace the sheriff came up here and talked with us about. It he was shocked when he was contacted and found out That Tyree
wallace had been sitting in prison for. Years he thought for sure there had been a mistrial After Brian brooks's, Recantation.
So david And Kir Bradford gray filed ANOTHER pcra in which all of the witnesses at trial have either recanted or been, discredited and with the court's typical reluctance to admit wrongdoing and the goal of at least Getting tyree, Home david And keir got the court to agree to.
Resentencing tyree's sentence was life without parole under second degree founy, murder and On june, tenth twenty twenty, four we got his life sentence, vacated having been sort of put into a position where he would end up pleading to conspiracy to commit murder.
Three so this unwillingness to truly be accountable for the ills of the, system that is another part that has to be.
Confronted so the fight to Clear tyree's name is not. Over as far as his resentencing hearing On, Monday november, fourth twenty twenty, four there were a number of possible, outcomes the worst one being twenty to forty years with parole. Eligibility with optimism and, Anticipation tyree registered to, vote and we're happy to announce that he was released on time served and got a chance to vote for the very
first time the following. Day we're so happy For tyree and his, family and again we hope for their continued success as they continue to fight his. Case in the, meantime we're going to link a fundraiser For tyree's re entry in the episode, description as he's not only going to need help to get, by but also to hit the ground running with the work he's been doing. Inside and with, that we're going to go to closing arguments as we originally recorded them before this tremendous.
News i'm optimistic that we're going to have justice For. Tyree he's the kind of voice that we should want in our. COMMUNITY i think anyone who meets him feels like it's a bit of a privilege to have crossed his path and hear what he has to. Say so we're going to bring him. Home i'm confident about. That But tyree's fight won't end. Then he still deserves to
be fully. Exonerated he's going to want support not only for himself personally to some, degree But tyree is going to sort of set things, ALIGHT i think in terms of fighting for, others trying to change, policy and he's going to want people who are listening and who are set by his story or energized by it to join, him because it's going to take a whole chorus of people to make changes to the things that he faced so that he and others don't continue to have this.
HAPPEN i am extremely grateful for the.
Opportunity, again it is not acceptable that my name still be attached to the robbery and killing position young Who. King ONCE i am, OUT i am want to fight to make sure that my name is, clear that what happened to missus young youngs who cling is made. CLEAR i want to do some things to honor his name and to respect his name and. PERPETUITY i am an open. Book there are no questions THAT i do not want to ask or.
