What's up, man?

So this is Derek Hamilton, who has been regarded by the New Yorker as the most prolific jailhouse lawyer that ever lived.
He is single-handedly responsible for freeing probably over 100 people, including himself.
He spent three decades in jail for murders that he didn't commit.
He was framed by one of the most horrific corrupt cops in the city of New York's history,
owned by the name of Scarcella.
But more than that, he's become known as one of the biggest and most effective criminal justice reform advocates in the country.
And I'll tell you, get into it a little bit more later, but Derek is not a miracle.
He's a force of fucking nature.
And I'll tell you a little bit about how we met and how we got involved together.
