Summary: <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Today on Felony Friday Gracie Walker joins host John Odermatt to share how she spent more than a decade in prison for the "crime" of introducing two people. In 2007, Gracie was convicted of Conspiracy to distribute a controlled substance in the Northern District of Texas. She was sentenced to 290 months. Gracie was not charged or convicted of selling drugs, rather she was sentenced to prison for introducing two people.</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">When she was arrested, Gracie was a working single mother and had not been involved with drugs for over three years. She was not in possession of any contraband and no drugs were found in the house where she was arrested. Prosecutors did offer a plea deal in exchange for information, but since Gracie had not been selling drugs she did not have any information to offer, so she was convicted. Thankfully, after spending ten years in President Obama granted Gracie clemency, shaving at least ten years off her sentence. </span></p><br> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Find past editions of Felony Friday at the <a href="http://lionsofliberty.com/felonyfriday/">Felony Friday Archive!</a></span></p><br> <h3><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><a href="http://www.lionsofliberty.com/RDAP" target="_blank">Today's Sponsor: Dan Wise, YouTube's Top Prison Consultant,</a> <a href="http://www.lionsofliberty.com/RDAP" target="_blank">Sentence Reduction and Federal Prison Consulting services.</a> <a href="http://www.lionsofliberty.com/RDAP" target="_blank">Stop the stress and get your life back.</a></span></h3><br> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">You can find the show notes page <a title=">here<" href="http://www.lionsofliberty.com/ff117" target="_blank">>here<</a></span><a title=">here<" href="http://www.lionsofliberty.com/ff116" target="_blank"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"> </span></span></a></p><br> <div style="font-size: 13.3333px;"> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 19px;">Also, for more Lions of Liberty content check out the </span><a style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;" href="http://lionsofliberty.com/podcast/">Podcast archive</a><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 19px;">!</span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"> <br></span></span></span><br> <div style="font-size: 10pt;"> <br> <p style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Submit any questions, comments, suggestions, or ideas to <a href="http://lionsofliberty.com/wp-admin/felonyfriday@lionsofliberty.com">felonyfriday@lionsofliberty.com</a>. </strong>This show is not my soapbox, it is a vehicle to communicate and amplify the injustices rampant in the criminal justice system.
