Do you think Bryan Stevenson at Equal Justice Initiative can help Leo? I know the Innocence Project are working on the case, but Bryan has gotten so many men exonerated for crimes that they did not commit but were found guilty of anyway.

I know Bryan pretty well, and he’s probably the single most person I admire in this world. I’m in awe of his work, and he’s been an inspiration to me over the years. I’m just not sure what he could do for Leo’s case, since Leo has great representation. The sad fact is, there are many cases Bryan and the EJI are involved with that are just as stalled in the courts as Leo’s. Post conviction relief has never been more difficult than it is today. But we both believe in the power of storytelling to affect change.
