Rags-to-Riches: Wrongfull accusations

During 1991, My uncle was wrongfully convicted of a crime he didn't commit what made the matter worse was he was already being targeted by police for his past gang affiliations. My uncle's story is a different type of rags to riches because he went from being involved in gangs as a teenager then going to jail for a crime he did not commit to being released and now today he is basically doing way better than before. In 1990 my uncle was stopped and arrested for suspicion that he had something to do with a gas station robbery that happened when he was at work, while at the police station he was placed in a line up and the store manager chose him out of 6 others as the man who robbed him with a loaded firearm during the next few months he went to trial after trial with a very unexperienced attorney. The verdict should have been innocent especially with the very low amount of evidence that was found like no fingerprints, car matches, or of cameras showing he was at the gas station at the time the crime was committed. He was sentenced to 3 years in a Florida  jail, He continually  pleaded his innocence writing letters to everyone from President Bill Clinton to the NAACP. When his judge  received one of those letters, he appointed a new lawyer for him. My uncle was nearly done serving his prison sentence by the time the matter went back before Backman. The judge threw out the conviction. Even after he was let out of prison he had trouble getting back to his regular life he got divorced while he was in jail and the time he lost with his kids he couldn't get back after being locked up. Over the years he had different happening for him but when he won his most recent case that would allow him to be for his attorney bills and get money for the years he was in jail and being a innocent man. I've seen him improve and be a better person over the years and from making below minimum wage to owning his own company and having is own house with his soon to be wife.
