In 1997, Glossip — an Oklahoma City motel manager and father of four with no felony record — was named the […]
Kalief Browder’s story seems almost unimaginable in a country where we are presumed innocent until proven guilty, and have rights that guarantee us a speedy and public trial. In 2010, Kalief, a 16-year-old student from the Bronx who was on probation, was arrested for allegedly robbing a man. He denied the accusation.
