Huge shoutout to our Syracuse member Ron Dennis!

'For more than 20 years, I served one of the most miserable sentences while rooting for one of the most miserable teams in sports... I can’t give up on the Knicks, and I can’t give up on myself.' Very moving story by Darrell Powell Prison Journalism Project: prisonjournalismproject.org/2024/04/24/new…

Darrell Powell was offered a plea with a promised sentence of 9 to 18 years. He went to trial and ended up with LWOP. He has served 25 years. Governor Kathy Hochul you have the power to fix this - in the name of fundamental decency commute his sentence, please
