Our client Gary going home after FORTY YEARS. For a burglary. In 1986, Gary was convicted of burglary and sentenced to LIFE. Now, in 2026, he has spent 40 years in prison.
Our team at the Clinton Young Foundation has been working behind the scenes on Gary’s case for over a year — digging through records, preparing mitigation, advocating for relief, and pushing for a second look at a sentence that simply does not fit the crime. Several weeks ago, we had a hearing where we argued why Gary should be released early. And we are grateful to share: that request was just granted! Gary is now 64 years old.
This is not the end of his case. He has not yet been found innocent, and we will continue fighting to clear his name. But this is a major step toward bringing him home after four decades.
None of this happens without your support. Your donations, your shares, your belief in second chances: it all matters. Thank you for standing with us. This is what hope looks like!
