A Michigan man has been freed from prison after serving more than eight years behind for bars for murders he did not commit. Two weeks after Davontae Sanford was sentenced to 90 years in jail, a professional hit man, Vincent Smothers, confessed to the killings. But Sanford remained in jail until now. After his release, he shared a brief message to others wrongly incarcerated.
Davontae Sanford: “Keep fighting. Don’t—like, don’t give up. You know, like, you’ve got to stay strong, mentally, spiritually, emotionally. And if you know you’re in prison for something that you didn’t do, just don’t roll over. Like, don’t—like, don’t roll over. Don’t give in. Don’t let them break you.”
