Summary

Reason: "You talk about the mindset of winning convictions at all costs. The legendary law-and-order Dallas prosecutor Henry Wade, who held the job you now hold for many, many years, embodied that philosophy. He's known to have actually boasted about convicting innocent people—that convincing a jury to put an innocent man in jail proved his prowess as a prosecutor."

Craig Watkins: "Oh yeah, it was a badge of honor at the time to knowingly convict someone that wasn't guilty. It's widely known among defense attorneys and prosecutors...."

Being born in poverty with all odds against him—poor, Black, and male—made Che' fair game to the savagery of what was deemed the worst ghetto in America: 1970s The Bronx, NY, home to the infamously corrupt Fort Apache police department and the hunting grounds for one of the most notorious serial killers in American history, the .44 Caliber Killer—Son of Sam.

But if surviving that concrete jungle as a child is not inspiring enough, consider his fight against being branded as an "offender" of the worst of all crimes, stripped of all credibility, flogged, fired, and humiliated by being listed on the most villainous of public registries, congruent with being dragged through the one of the most scandalous criminal justice systems in America!

Fathered by the notorious Dallas DA Henry Wade, the man who won a death sentence against Jack Ruby for the murder of Lee Harvey Oswald, who asked the Supreme Court to vanquish a woman's right to abortion, and who for 36 years presided over Dallas' judicial system (which featured a mind-staggering 96 percent conviction rate under his personally authored mantra of "convict at all costs"). As you witness Che's calculated execution in his fight to restore the honor of his family name, your compulsion to stand and applaud is equally justified.

This is the incredible true story of Che' "Ra'Koo" Harris, and his story is enough to bring the inspiration of life to the most hardened of hearts.
