First Interview of Michael Roberson. Roberson was one of the fastest Texas High School athletes in the late 1980s and comes from a family lineage of NFL stars and Olympians. Things took a tragic turn when he received a life sentence for taking a life at the age of 21. After serving 30 Calander years in a Texas Penitentiary with no air conditioning he has been paroled. Roberson reunited with a childhood friend who served the same amount of time in law enforcement to discuss their experiences. These discussions are shared on a public platform in efforts to save as many youth as possible on step at a time.
