Six years ago yesterday, exoneree Bernard (“Bee”) Baran passed away suddenly at the age of 49, only 8 years after rejoining his family in freedom. Bee was wrongfully convicted in 1985 and spent 22 years in prison for a crime he did not commit. His niece, Crystal Squires, continues to keep his memory alive, sharing this emotional story about her loving uncle, Bee, and coping with injustice and profound loss.
Please watch Crystal live on stage at our inaugural storytelling event last December, Voices of the Innocent: Still We Rise.
