On August 26th, 1994 I was wrongfully shot by a white Ft.Pierce, Florida bailesbondsman and repeatedly beaten by two white sheriff deputies during my wrongful arrest. After being arrested, I was wrongfully charged and convicted of two counts of battery on a law enforcement officer, two counts of resisting arrest with violence and one count of running / fleeing. Due to the fact that I couldn’t afford to hire a paid attorney, just like so many other poor African Americans, I was wrongfully convicted and sentenced to fourty years in prison for crimes that I didn’t commit. After arriving to prison, I immediately begin educating myself in the law and I eventually became a certified law clerk. On October 27th, 08 I was released from prison after serving fourteen years and nine months for some crimes that I didn’t commit. Ever since my release, I’ve been making much positive progress. I’ve written a total of four books. Including an autobiography about my life titled ” Alfredsjourney ” and three books of poetry. I’ve also written two movie scripts during my incarceration. I’ve had multiple book signings in Florida and in Georgia as well. I’m currently a member of the Atlanta Film Makers Alliance / Meetup. On September 23rd, 12 I actually had the opportunity to be an extra in the movie / film called ” Hummingbird “. On November 29th, 11 I traveled abroad to Sweden and spoke to college and high school students about the power of a positive mind-set. (see photos on my website:www.alfredsjourney.com).
Mrs. Farrow, I’m just reaching out because I want the world to know about the Injustices that were done to me.Note: On August 8th, 1990 I actually made history when I became not only the first African American, but the very first person to ever represent themselves successfully at their own jury trial in Tampa, FL.
Dear Shawn Carter. You’ve helped Meek Mill and 21 Savage. You accepted a GLAAD Award for your mom. You did a documentary on Trayvon Martin. You helped tell the story about Kalief Browder. Solitary Confinement laws were changed for kids because of you. If you’re looking for somebody else to help:
