One Minute Remaining - Stories from the inmates

It's hard to shake the label P2 - Trinity Matthisen


Listen Later

Trinity Mattherson is not a man who claims he is a saint, he's not a man who says he did no wrong in his life. He is a man who grew up on the streets, with little to no rules from inside his home, a home where his parents battled drug and alcohol dependecy. From a young age Trinity would need to learn how to look after himself, how to provide and care for not only his own well being but also his mothers.


That need, he said, took him to the streets, as a white kid in a black neigbourhood he foundhimself as one of the few white guys joining the notorious street gang, the bloods.


Spending most of his adolescence locked up in various juvenile facilities Trinity bounced around until he eventualy found himself in an adult facility after he and two others made a daring escape.


In 2002, Trinity paroled to Michigan looking to make a fresh start away from the people and places he knew would only mean touble. 


Nine months after his arrival he was attacked while attempting to break up a fight at a crowded house party. Two people are shot in the melee and Trinity says he was wrongfully convicted of the shooting of one of the men involved in the altercation. 


Multiple witnesses were questioned by the police, with just one pointing the finger at Trinity. That witness, who originally identified the shooter as being a light-skinned black man, was released from probation the day after giving his testimony. The other victim maintained it was a light skinned black man who had the weapon and had shot at them.


Even though none of the victims received life threatening injuries, because of his prior record, Trinity was sentenced to serve 42 to 72 years in prison.


This is his story.
