The ESPYs: 2011 Arthur Ashe Award - Dewey Bozella
An innocent man spends decades behind bars for a crime he didn't commit & through the prison boxing program & family support became a positive force in the lives of those around him & learned never to quit in his quest for freedom.
The craziest part is that during his 1st retrial (after 20 years behind bars) he was offered a plea bargain to admit he did it & he could go home with time served but held to his principals & was stayed in jail until eventually he was set free, with all charges rescinded.
Incredible story!
