The man, the myth, the legend! We are so honored and grateful to be interviewing Franky Carrillo Jr today: exoneree, dad, LA County Commissioner and future California Assembly member for the 52nd District. Franky spent twenty years in California prisons for a 1991 crime that he did not commit, and was exonerated in 2011 after two decades of optimism, resilience and following his intuition. We chat with him all about being sentenced to life in prison at 18 years old, his journey to freedom, and all of the ways he has spent the last thirteen years being a change maker. He talks in depth about his relationship with forgiveness and even shares that he is now friends with not only the men (then boys) who falsely identified him, but also the district attorney that prosecuted him. Franky is currently on the campaign trail to be a member of the California State Assembly, and when he wins ( !!! ), Franky will be the first formerly incarcerated member in history! We could not think higher of Franky and all that he has endured and overcome, and we hope you enjoy this conversation as much as we did! THANK YOU FRANKY!
