Fact check: Nelson Mandela got his law degree from the University of South Africa (UNISA), NOT the University of London.
What a beautiful and impressive documentary. I love their enthusiasm and well-earned pride.❤
What a story, we all so stupid things when we are young but it doesn’t mean we are bad, stupid yes but not bad. Congratulations young man.
This is like Good Will Hunting meets Shawshank redemption
I wonder if he found his defense attorney and thanked him for not screwing up. The fact that he couldn’t find anything to change his own case likely speaks to the competency of his lawyer.
Ffs nxt gov😅
Prosecutors at the state level are overworked as well.
Yhoo these Jamaicans are everywhere 😅😅
The Shon Hopwood story is hands down my favorite 60 minutes piece.
Jail house lawyers grow up in the juvenile justice system We lean court procedures rules in the juvenile justice system. And police procedures. Miranda, Escobido, Pope, Powell v. Alabama, Chimal v. California. Many are not stupid enough ro get to get caught.
I’m for longer sentences for pretty crimes
This is not a big deal when you vonside4 that a convicted Felon in president of the United States. Double standards for people without color.
Has this big business called nbc been served with the lawsuit yet
This Guy is Absolutely Amazing 🎉
He failed up good for him
Absolutely wonderful presentation. It proves that if just given the opportunity ( which is getting so much harder in this country if being poor, much less incarcerated ) , there really are more people who have , or may develop later in life , the desire and discipline to use their inherent abilities to be wonderful contributors to all of society if only given the opportunity. We should never foreclose or fail to provide the opportunities , as is happening more and more in the U.S. , to our citizens when they at whatever stage of life demonstrate the desire and dedication to be hardworking contributing members of this country.

Why not look into the lawyers charging $500an hour which most can't afford. I feel if it was family, or a loved one, even someone they knew, they would take the case "pro bono."
Again
Oh, how i love stories like this! Turning ones life around – no doubt, Divine intervention played a part ( my take).
What a lesson to take away from this story and never let the overeducated think you can't because you really can.
I. Could. Cry 😂! The joy of these stores are so uplifting for me. Thank you!❤
ahh let’s not a silly little thing like being a convicted felon stop you from being an atty…. aim higher
