Justice is blind. That’s the axiom people use to explain away some of the biggest injustices ensured by the criminal justice system. For former teen football prospect Greg Kelley, a court in Austin, Texas almost took away 25 years of his life after he was falsely accused of being a predator at a daycare run by his friend’s mother.
According to a report released by People, nearly a decade ago Kelley was considered a suicidal inmate at the Williamson County Jail. He was even wrapped in a smock to help the institution prevent any irreversible mishaps under their watch. Kelley reached that point after years of trying everything he could and getting nothing but disappointment.
