Andre Brown’s Wrongful Conviction | Lookalike
How many times have you heard the phrase, “you look so much like someone I know”?
I hear it all the time, but I rarely think about that statement much after it’s said. Sometimes I wonder if I saw the person they are referring to, would I also think they look like me, or not at all. And that is usually the extent of the energy or thought I give to it.
For Andre Brown, a 21-year old college student at the Borough of Manhattan Community College, this one statement changed his life forever.

Remembering Pravin
Every year, on Pravin’s death anniversary, his family holds an annual memorial in Carbondale, at the exact location where Pravin took his last breath.
It’s not an easy spot to get to, especially in the winter time with the tough terrain, but Lovely and her family make the 6-hour drive every February to gather in Pravin’s memory and say a prayer for him.
