There is no forgiveness. There is no hope for freedom. I'm not the same person that made the mistake 35 years ago. I've grown older. I've learned from my mistakes.
All people make mistakes as teenagers or young adults.
By nature alone, nobody is the same at 50 years old as they were at 17 years old. No matter how much I've changed, no matter how sorry I am for my mistake, no matter how much time I serve in prison, Pennsylvania law says there is no forgiveness. I'm so grateful the good man above doesn't believe that way. He has forgiven me for my mistake. Pennsylvania laws should be changed.
