Issue: Wrongful Conviction
Thesis: After being wrongfully imprisoned for twenty years because of police misconduct of witnesses, Carrillo is freed and wants to work with the Innocence Project to help others who were also wrongfully convicted.
Evidence:
Witnesses couldn’t clearly identify him as the culprit.
A witness who came forth saying he was innocent was dismissed.
Police lead the witnesses to picking out the culprit.
Judge finally overturned conviction after witnesses decanted their testimony.
Opposing Views:
Part of a well known street gang.
Resolving the problem:
Innocence Project
Starting life again and studying psychology.
Concluding Reflections:
Carrillo isn’t bitter or angry about the justice system after being wrongfully imprisoned instead he wants to help others while enjoying the simple things in life.
