    #29: Save A Life With Empathy

    #29: Save A Life With Empathy

    Welcome back to MYLIFEplus25 in today's episode we have a situation for you to imagine:

    Imagine for a moment if your ability to be with loved ones, pursue worldly achievements or even sit in your favorite park to read depended upon the professional and personal integrity of an appointed federal district judge and elected state official. How confident would you feel about the likelihood of your ability to enjoy and pursue the simple pleasures of your life?

    Because from where I'm sitting, in a prison cell for a crime I didn't commit, it sure seems like what the New Mexico Attorney General Hector Balderas and likewise, the State of New Mexico, is telling me is that if I wasn't Mexican, didn't have dark hair, brown eyes, and if my first language wasn't Spanish, then, and only then, would the Sixth Amendment to the Constitution apply to me. I would then qualify for the good brand of Justice that individuals like Jenna Ryan or Kyle Rittenhouse qualify for.

    Listen to today's episode where we dive into the full details of this scenario and how this will all play out.

    My goal is to bring insight to you from my experiences with the justice system and now 17 years behind bars after being wrongfully convicted for a crime I did not commit.  I feel that the things I can say that can help form and change conversation about criminal justice.

    #28: Fighting Color Coded Justice

    #28: Fighting Color Coded Justice

    Welcome back to MYLIFEplus25 in today's episode we talk about a subject called color coded justice, where we talk in more detail about the injustice of our justice system.  As we all know, there are countless examples in the US of inequality.  Today we step back into my case, after having recently filed my reply to the New Mexico attorney general in my fight for justice and the very legitimacy of the amendments in the constitution.

    We live in a nation where who you are as related to the color of your skin, your language, your titles and positions, etc.  either entitle you to certain protection from the law or not.

    In this episode we talk about the injustice of race in the United States.  Listen now for the full details.

    My goal is to bring insight to you from my experiences with the justice system and now 17 years behind bars after being wrongfully convicted for a crime I did not commit.  I feel that the things I can say that can help form and change conversation about criminal justice.

    #26: Revolving Door

    #26: Revolving Door

    Welcome back to MYLIFEplus25 in today's episode we cover the topic revolving door revolving to crime - crime seems to be a cyclical cycle as well as the solutions by politicians.. I want to talk about some dangerous measures being pushed by democratic politicians in New Mexico.

    These politicians are selling the false narrative of being able to fight crime - while the media is helping them push their agenda.  The revolving door of crime, offenders are convicted, sentenced, and sent for rehabilitation, costing tax payers over $46,000 per inmate per year.  To put in perspective, a full ride scholarship to UNM is only $42,000.

    In today's episode we cover this controversial topic in depth and the issues people in New Mexico are facing.

    My goal is to bring insight to you from my experiences with the justice system and now 17 years behind bars after being wrongfully convicted for a crime I did not commit.  I feel that the things I can say that can help form and change conversation about criminal justice.
