β€œThey took my life away for nothing.” James Carver spent 36 years in prison for allegedly setting one of the deadliest fires in Massachusetts history.

My latest for @theappeal.org:

James Carver spent 36 years in prison after he was convicted of setting one of the deadliest fires in #Massachusetts history. But after reviewing new scientific evidence, a judge set him free.

β€œThey took my life away for nothing,” Carver said.

I had the absolute PLEASURE to serve as the Zale-Kimmerling Writer in Residence at Tulane. Dana Zale Gerard & Martha Kimmerling Wells, alumnae of Newcomb, endowed a program to bring women writers to campus. What a meaningful contribution! I got so caught up that I read from my new book!
