Devontae Sanford
Devontae Sanford, 23, who served about eight years in prison for a quadruple murder in Detroit he did not commit, is going around speaking to different groups, hoping to Detroit youth, Fox 2 reports. He was released from prison earlier this month.
Hannah Saunders of Fox 2 reports that Sanford takes advantage of every opportunity to talk about his fight for justice at schools, churches, peace rallies, and even a Michigan state police at-risk youth event.
"(I) talk to the kids, try to mentor the kids to the best of my ability," he said, according to Fox 2.
Sanford confessed and pleaded guilty in the 2007 slaying of four people in a drug house on Runyon Street in Detroit. He was 14 at the time of the murders, was learning disabled and was known for spinning stories. But two weeks after heading to prison hit man Vincent Smothers confessed to the killings and said Sanford had no role in the murders.
