"Never give up hope, no matter how bad it gets." - Ryan Matthews
In 1999 Ryan was sentenced to death for a murder he had not committed. He was just 17 at the time of the crime. Amnesty members wrote appeals on his behalf and sent him greetings cards to boost his morale. After five years on death row in Louisiana, Ryan was granted a retrial. Four months later, he left court as a free man after his lawyers presented DNA evidence showing that another man had committed the murder.
