The support from Korey Wise didn’t go unnoticed as many took to their social media platforms to praise this move.
1989 Korey Wise, at 16 was sent to prison and served 14 years for a crime he didn’t commit. Trump called for the death penalty on Korey and the 4 other INNOCENT children arrested. Today he protested in Harlem for the same “justice” system that took away his childhood – Steviejoannb wrote.
