Edward Wright spent 41 years in prison after he was convicted of murder. But a judge overturned his conviction after learning prosecutors withheld important evidence.
So good to know that Mr. Wright is finally on the Outside! Thank you for your powerful reporting, Andrew Quemere. We remember Edward from the old Mass Prison Voice newsletter. Andrew, if you happen to speak with him again please convey best wishes to him and his wife. Jabir Pope and Shorty 'Mac' Brown, too! It is extraordinary that long-term prisoners are able to hold tight to their humanity & compassion despite unending petty deprivation and violence by the state (small s), but they do. Thank you again, Susan Mortimer
Being convicted of crime you didn't commit then serving 40years of your life in prison tf! The detective and all those involved in Mr.Wrights prosecution submitting/ withholding evidence and/or false testimony should be held accountable. Blessings to all his lawyers, supporters and to you Andrew. Your reporting is thorough and informative. I go through every emotion when reading your pieces. Thank you so much for shinning the light on these lives.
