Lawyer "So what there was no DNA evidence?"
Aunt "No, none whatsoever"
*Hands over Docs statement*
Lawyer "How could this case have gone to court?Let alone be found guilty and sentenced like this if there's no evidence?This is truly flawed"
*She reads more of the statements*
Lawyer "This is really, really bad, how could they conduct a interview with a two year old?They cant string sentences like this together. It's obvious the infant had been told repeatedly to say this!?"
Me "He was 18, on his way to Uni and they've wrongly accused him and even when he's done the sentence he's still not being released?"
His Mother is one of the strongest people I've come to know recently and even though we're not related through blood it's a honour for me to call her Habaryar (Aunt in Somali)/. 21 months of Abdirahman's life behind bars that he'll never get back and he's innocent.I'm not trying to don my balacava, start pumping my Dead Prez CD and ask for revolution but this shit puts me down. As someone who is studying Law in the hopes to become a Lawyer I hope my fam and friends can see why I always said I wanted to do Commercial and deal with IP and sweaty fat men in suits.
No wrongly accused, young ,beautifully humble. black boys to cry over. Call me a coward if you wish. My heart is just so, so tired.
