I am so excited that I can finally post this story! It’s so cool and lovely and I am still in love with it! I can’t wait to hear what you all think!
Growing up, our home was always filled with artwork. For generations, my family has been artists and collectors. My father was both, and my mother was an auctioneer who also collected artwork. As a child, we made it a tradition to change the artwork every summer. I can remember walking into the storage building out back with my father and seeing the rows upon rows of paintings all stacked so neatly inside. It was like a library the way my parents had it organized. My dad used to call it the Art Locker.
When I was little, I would sneak into the Art Locker, and I would hide there. It was always cool in there, due to the special air conditioning unit that kept it the same temperature at all times to protect the artwork. It has a unique smell to it too. All the paint mixed together with the scent of the disinfectant and cleaner Mom used. It felt safe in there. I used to love wandering around, and stealing peeks at the covered artwork. I also felt terrible for the artwork. I had always been taught that artwork was to be seen and admired. The painters and artists worked, sometimes years, on their craft and that dedication and love, and talented deserved to be seen. Yet, the same people who taught me that, kept most of their prized collection tucked away.
One day, my mother got delivery from an unknown source. She said it was from a relative of ours, she wasn’t quite sure how we were related, somehow they just were. They owned an antique shop, and they had gotten in these paintings they weren’t sure how to price or do anything with, so they gave them to her. Most of them were unframed canvases, and Mom didn’t look too enthused with them.
“They’re old for sure,” mom sighs as she looks them over.
After his release from prison, Wright obtained his undergraduate degree in 2002, entering law school in 2004 and graduating from St. Thomas University School of Law in 2007. Passing the New Jersey Bar in 2008, he spent the next nine years being investigated by the New Jersey Bar’s Committee on Character before being granted admission to the bar by the New Jersey Supreme Court on September 27, 2017.
On September 27, 2017, Wright became the only person in U.S. history to be condemned to life in prison, secure his own release and exoneration and then be granted a license to practice law by the very court that condemned him.
Wright got his 1991 conviction overturned by exposing the gross corruption and misconduct within the court that convicted him, the prosecutors office and the police force. This allowed Wright to successfully get rid of his life sentence but he remained in prison on numerous other convictions with sentences totaling over 70 years. Wright’s ultimate release came as a result of his cross-examination of veteran police detective, James Dugan. Dugan’s confession opened revelations of wide and systematic misconduct and cover-up in Wright’s case. Then Somerset County Prosecutor, Nicholas L. Bissell, Jr., who tried Wright’s case personally was fingered as being the orchestrator of that misconduct, directing police officers to falsify their police reports while he personally dictated the false testimony of witnesses against Wright and made secret deals with defense attorneys to have their clients lie to the jury that Wright was their drug boss and that they had plead guilty and were going to prison, when in-fact, they were never going to spend a day in jail.
Dugan pled guilty to official misconduct in order to escape prison. Wright’s trial judge, Michael Imbriani, was removed from the bench and sent to prison on theft charges and Bissell, after learning of Dugan’s confession on TV news, took flight with federal authorities in pursuit. As police were kicking in the door of his Las Vegas hotel room, Bissell put a revolver to his head and pulled the trigger, committing suicide. Wright’s remaining convictions were vacated and he was immediately released from prison. The charges were dropped and the case against him dismissed.
Wright now works at the Law Firm Hunt, Hamlin & Ridley located in Newark, New Jersey, and is to have said “I went to law school for one reason and one reason only, To slay giants for a price. And if the giant is big enough and the cause is important enough, I’ll do it for free, especially when it involves helping those who cannot help themselves.”
ultimate power move: law your way out of jail and convict the people who wrongly convicted you
Why is there not a movie about this fricking amazing man yet?
Apparently 50 Cent is working with him to produce a TV series, if articles from November 2017 are to be believed.
I remember when this video first appeared because it was probably the first time I’d come across the concept of a happy settled gay relationship and I really really remember it
