At 17, Jarrett Adams was arrested for a crime he insists he didn’t commit. After his conviction, he began a path that is almost unheard of. Years later, he appealed his case, and with the help of the Wisconsin Innocence Project, was a free man at the age of 26. After that, Adams put himself through college and law school with a goal of helping others who were in similar situations. This year, he graduated from law school, took the bar exam, and won a clerkship for the very same court that granted him his freedom.
