justice system in pennsylvania, i can assure you that there are many people who should be given a second chance. but i don't think that frankly itdepends on the individual, depends on the time serve except for multiple crimes. if you had multiple homicides you should stay there. cases that canof happen. for example, a man in him, ivania, i was with know him, he's a good friend of mine. there's no help for him. a lot of men have suffered through mistakes in the criminal justice system has made and they then are made to stay in prison for those mistakes. and those mistakes are then legislated away. to where you can come back and say look, it will be reviewed and you will be compensated. i will give you a very good example. are you there? host: i'm still here, keep going. caller: i had an illegal sentence lead to 16 to 31 years in pennsylvania. instead of taking me back to court and resentencing me, they just added three years on the my sentence. which i serve. i went to the pennsylvania state supreme court and they said you are absolutely right about this issue. but you've waited too long.
