One morning in February of 1975, 17-year-old high school basketball star Leslie Vass was running an errand for his mother at the local pharmacy in Baltimore, MD when he was approached by a police officer. This was Vass's first encounter with the police, and he was confused and frightened when they placed him under arrest at gunpoint. Four months prior, three men robbed a delivery man at this same pharmacy. The victim of this robbery happened to be there that day, and reported that Vass was one of the armed robbers. Vass was sentenced to 20 years in prison solely on the questionable testimony of this one witness.

Leslie Vass was only 17 years old when he was snatched off the street and carted off to jail for a crime he didn't know about, or even truly ID'd for committing. His story, while tragic, is also a story of strength and his fight for justice continues. He was exonerated 10 years into a 20 year sentence, and is still fighting to truly clear his name to this day.
