THE BRIAN BANKS STORY, TRIUMPH OVER TRAGEDY – PART 2
If you were hoping to hear how Brian Banks overcame the adversity and punishment that was thrown at him in Part 1 of our interview, then here it is! You’ll hear how Brian stayed ‘sane’ despite his time behind the wall, his home life, that still felt like jail, while on parole, and the knowledge that he’d always live in a societal prison with a sex offender stamp on his record. That was until criminal defense lawyer and the Founding Director of the California Innocence Project, Justin Brooks, agreed to take Brian’s case, even though he was already post parole, and you’ll NEVER believe the role his accuser played in Brian’s exoneration!
