Maya Moore on Justice for Jonathan Irons | Amanpour and Company

Basketball player Maya Moore surprised the sports world and her fans when she announced that she would be taking a sabbatical to fight for justice for her friend Jonathan Irons, who is serving a 50-year prison sentence. In 1998, a jury found him guilty of burglary and assault with a deadly weapon, but Moore is certain that Irons is innocent. She joins Michel Martin to share Jonathan’s story.

The Jury shares the blame with the prosecutors and police and everyone involved.

Once again, the clown jurors STRATEGICALLY escape criticism.

Maya...the work You are doing for criminal justice reform is truly compassionate. Thank you so much for stretching yourself being so tenacious about helping Jonathan.

One day the crime of being black will be turned into blessings.The world is so corrupt and filthy structured that if you are black you just worthless but I know for fact God is for us all and he does not take bribe and surely he will protect his chosen creation.One day being black will worth more than diamonds.My humble opinion.

[@gds481300]

She's doing the right thing with her platform and her Christian belief compelled her to do it

[@zekemassey7739]

Yep strangely she married him ..

[@BoleDaPole]

Looks like she's grasping at straws to get her boyfriend out of prison.

[@trynagocrayz12]

Constable Dodo you definitely did not watch the court case vid, the evidence is breathtakingly strong he didn’t do it idk how he got convicted

[@MeMyself984]

I’m worried about the whole situation too. Since she married him, I pray that she is an anomaly and it works FOR her and not against her 😕
