Jon-Adrian “JJ” Velazquez was serving a life sentence for murder when he wrote a letter to NBC News producer Dan Slepian. That led to a 20-year quest for freedom for Velazquez, who has always asserted his innocence. They sat down with Lester Holt to discuss their hit NBC News Studios podcast “Letters from Sing Sing.”

The US criminal justice system is a bad joke.
That apology from Biden means nothing. Nice song and dance for a man who had his life taken away from him
Love this
That's why I don't like jury trial. They have no bisnis being in a court of law.
Once accused. Never redeemed
But every politician walks free.
Eyewitness testimony is the least reliable evidence you can have & nobody should even be allowed to go to trial let alone convicted on solely eyewitness testimony.
There is no purpose for the loss of half of his life, only a judicial system that is corrupt and broken. He created purpose from his situation
JJ was right. He had purpose. His wrongful conviction is shining a very much needed light on the frailties of law and order.
It’s wonderful he was heard.
Let me guess, a liberal district attorney in a dem run city.
WOW!!!! DAN IS AN ABSOLUTE ANGEL!!!
Dan your the man !! Thank you for freeing the truth🦸♀️
I have been wrongfully accused of crimes I didn't do. Police are so corrupt
Good news.
