Atlanta man wrongfully convicted after serving 18

 Hi my name is Mario Stinchcomb I am a Ga native who was arrested and wrongfully convicted at the age of 22 for a crime that I didn’t commit. As a result of this conviction I was forced to serve half of my life in prison. A place where I had to endure unmentionable suffering, as well as my loved ones that were left behind when I was taken away from them. Too often young men like myself with inadequate counsel are given no options and the worst of treatment from an unfair system designed to give people with my skin color the harshest punishment. I never gave up on my self and I maintained my innocence and I continued to fight for my freedom. Although it took me 18 long agonizing years I with the help of a few amazing individuals was able to get my conviction over turned. As an apology from the state of Ga I was given a 25 dollar check and was told to try and salvage what is left of my life, that I just can’t accept considering what they took from me. So I am appealing to all that can help not only to spread awareness but to help me to now hire legal counsel in hopes of making the state of Ga pay for what they took from me. My life!! I can’t do this alone but together we can hopefully stop this from continuing to happen to our people. Thanks in advance for all your help, love and concern.
