Imagine being 16, and being convicted of a crime that you didn't commit? Do you wanna build a snowman? Well, you can't because you're in PRISON! You would be charged, as an adult, and sent to an adult prison. That is what four boys had to go through, being convicted of kidnapping, raping, and murdering a girl. They spent 15 years behind the bars, trying to prove their innocence and get out of the prison. Omar, Larry and Calvin were the only boys who were interviewed by KSUT.
All these boys had been tried individually, as adults, in front of a courtroom full the people who were on the victims side. The only person that showed up for the boys, was a cousin. They were all convicted and sent to prison with a life sentence. When they were in jail, Calvin was trying to prove their innocence and after fifteen years he found a lawyer that would help them prove their innocence. Larry had an idea that the killers DNA could still be in the body, and that they should give a donate to have it compared to the killers.
In the end, they were able to get a new court and the DNA tested. They were released after being in jail for 15 years, they had missed some major parts of their lives. They still live together, and are living life to the fullest.
