Exonerations by five exonerations by dna, every one of those stories would make a great book, the book should be written, every Wrongful Conviction is a story from the point of view about plot, the suffering, the drama, the deceit , the fact that the rapist is still out there raping when someone else is savoring his time. These are fantastic stories but the system is broken i would have written all of him but i cant do that. To answer your question i would love to be able to write another book of nonfiction, im not sure do it.

Tonight a look at a defining moment in our nations shared and troubled history. One that began in the mississippi delta 60 years ago with a death here at the black bayou. Thank you for joining us, im joie chen. The delta held secrets close. In the shadows. You can almost hear the whispers of what happened back in the day. The truth of a young black mans mistake, and the horrific penalty he paid for it are trapped in the heat of a mississippi night. If these walls could talk, would they scream in terror . Cry out in desperation . Or would they fall silent in fear . They are the lost walls emmett till saw in the barn on the old sheraton plantation, a place that echos with the horror of a hot august night. Where a kid from chicago funds himself facing the most brutal type of justice. His family called him bo bo, 14 years old, with a stutter. He begged his single mum to let him come to missouri in 1955 to visit his country cousins. He talked beside chicago. He told me stuff you didnt know
