TL/DR - Jarrett Adams was wrongly convicted of a crime and spent 10 years in prison. Did legal research while in prison and contacted a lawyer when he found a way to fight the case. The attorney took his case and got his conviction overturned. Jarrett then went back to community college, got a BA and then a law degree. He is now a practicing attorney and won his first case!

Maybe I'll send some of my LSAT books to a prison books project later.
