This year, my daughter @k_liltank had the idea of making very special baskets for the front line workers that bring us our mail, packages, pick up our garbage and recycling and so much more. We have given them out to our @ups @uspostalservice and @fedex drivers who were blown away. If they do what they do everyday, a little basket to keep them safe and warm is the least we can do.

#Repost @itsjasonflom (@get_repost) ・・・ ‼️BREAKING NEWS‼️ @innocenceproject client Termaine “Maine” Hicks was just officially exonerated after 19 years in prison!!! Philadelphia police shot Termaine three times in the back, and then planted a gun on him, lied about the shooting (falsely claiming he had a weapon) and then prosecuted him for the attack of a woman who Termaine had actually come to the aid of when she was being assaulted in the street. Police realized that Termaine did not match the description of the attacker provided to 911 by a neighbor, and was unarmed. Rather than acknowledging what happened, officers launched a cover-up: falsely testifying that when they got to the scene they saw Termaine attacking the victim and that they shot him because he pulled a gun from his pocket and pointed it at them.   Based on the presence of a partial male profile from the victim’s clothing, a motion for a new trial was filed based on DNA and new forensic evidence regarding the shooting and the directionality of the bullets.    Over the past two years the @innocenceproject team have engaged in further investigation, legal maneuvering to escape a hostile judge, and focused on a deep dive into the officers involved.   Yesterday, Termaine’s conviction was overturned based on the finding that three officers lied under oath at his trial about the shooting and the recovery of the gun. The judge acknowledged that police had gotten the wrong person and the enormity of what had been done to Termaine.  Because of COVID, it was all on zoom and Termaine was not in court. He expressed feeling proud of himself for continually asserting his innocence before the parole board in 2015 even th he knew it meant he would do all of his time, and he talked about Jacob Blake and all of the other people who didn’t make it, and being thankful that he could walk out of prison, and that he made it home. Termaine, you have all of my respect 🙌🏽 https://www.instagram.com/p/CI6zcgWHYW_/?igshid=1nuy9uee8cmep

2 days before Thanksgiving I was able 2 tell a client, "Enjoy Thanksgiving, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Hannukah & New Years," because I was able 2 get his sentencing postponed till 2021. It was a good feeling knowing he was free, with family and friends and Covid19 free. @metcalflawnyc (at Rockland County, New York) https://www.instagram.com/p/CIKeGi6nAa-/?igshid=3yo21656vuoj
