germans, wearing this dog tag through france, belgium, denmark and the uk. keeping him sane through the misery, this handkerchief from his fiance. she had the perfect name hope. when he returned, he would make her his wife, and what a life. war, romance, friendship, but there was one thing missing. leaving for war meant no graduation, no diploma. finally, we would like to welcome a very special guest. joe perricone is a member of the hillsborough high school class of 1943. reporter: so this past weekend, 76 years later, joe s life would take another amazing turn. he was not able to receive his diploma in 1943. reporter: now came the time. you ready, mr. perricone? ladies and gentlemen, from the class of 1943, and now the class of 2019, joseph a. perricone! reporter: joe, getting his diploma, in front of a crowd of
to. i need help. nobody will help me. i didn t do this. and i was very resistant to doing that. i knew that these death row cases were immense cases. 5, 10, 15 volumes long. i m like no, it s one volume big. that s all it is. one volume? that s where the attorney of him kicked in. i was just stunned that a man could be brought to trial for his life and be convicted in the amount of space it took to record that event was in one volume. so i thought, whoa. something is not right. in addition to being a priest and a lawyer, neil was a registered nurse with 15 years experience in critical care. it s one of those like if you re a believer it s a god moment. a priest who was an r.n. and an attorney. where did that come from? and he shows up right at joe s cell.
