Guilty Until Proven Innocent
Robert Holloman gives you his firsthand account of a typical life in the hood when young men like him drop out of school in south-side Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. Fathering a beautiful baby girl at the age of fourteen, then another baby boy at sixteen, Robbie man’s up and works from taking orders at McDonald’s to selling crack to fiends in his neighborhood while he gets in and out of juvenile prisons for misdemeanors and possession of a deadly weapon. This way of life eventually brought him the biggest “trial” in his teenage years: accused and tried for the murder of his best friend, Trill. Will college forever remain a dream? How can he face Trill’s fiancée and children? Who will betray him? Who will stay with him until the very last? Will he survive prison while wasting his young years inside the walls that gets smaller and smaller every day? Guilty Until Proven Innocent will show, once and for all, that family matters, that some friendships are frail while others true, that some love dies in adversity while others only gets more strong in absence, and that no one is above the law, no matter how long some justices are unfortunately served.
