The decision will come whether it's a Grammy new trial, you know, throughout the conviction, all that kind of stuff.

We pretty much gave them everything we could.

Yeah.

And it's up to the court of appeals to decide.

So if that goes good and they, you know, vacate my conviction and then they dismiss this or dismiss, there's a whole lot of,

obstacles that have to get passed for that to happen yeah but that would make it easier for me to travel because then i'd have no prior conviction but if i got to do this whole time and it drags out and i'm still fighting out there that's going to bar me from a lot of different countries because i have a felony conviction and then one for murder you know i mean so i mean i don't get up there like oh watch this documentary i didn't do it they won't issue a new visa so that that's been playing in my mind you know

Not only that, but they gave me, they gave me the $14,000 fine when I was convicted because of the interest that has ballooned into $80,000.

What?

And I owe that.

Yeah, I have to pay.

So when they hit you with the fine, they hit you with like, okay, so they hit me with the,

the hospital bills, all those kind of court costs and all that stuff.

And then they put it on you, and then it gains interest.

It never stops gaining interest the entire time.

So now it's up to $80,000, and there's no way.

I mean, I'm getting fresh out of prison.

They're going to start garnishing my checks as soon as I get out there.

And so it's like it's one obstacle after another.

So there's so many different things in play.

I'm hoping to be fully exonerated or at least vacate my conviction that I can fight and try to get fully exonerated.
