Truly Beautiful Work

From the Innocence Blog:

Earlier this month, hundreds of people witnessed a moving display of justice and compassion at the Innocence Project’s annual benefit in New York. While pianist Jonathan Batiste played “What a Wonderful World” at the close of the event, two attendees got up on stage to dance, but not just any two.

These two were Dennis Fritz, who spent a decade in Oklahoma prison for a murder he didn’t commit, and Peggy Carter Sanders, the mother of the young woman Dennis was wrongfully convicted of killing. These were two people with a long history, and now they’re joined in a singular mission to seek fair justice for all.
You can view the movie (which includes an address by John Grisham) here.

Great video. I have it posted on my blog, Barbara's Journey Toward Justice. I started my blog after I read Dennis Fritz's book, "Journey Toward Justice". I also have great exclusive photos with slideshow of this Innocence Project Event.
