***Julius Jones, were he White Like Me. ***
Julius Jones sits at home, watching TV with his parents.
There’s the delicious smell of a homecooked meal.
The sound of laughter from a witty banter in the kitchen…
—And then the police break in.
They take him at age 19.
He was a football star, full scholarship.
He has been on Death Row for 20 years.
He is now in solitary confinement.
He was miles away from the crime scene.
The jury was certain a black man did it.
Julius Jones sits at home, watching TV with his family.
There’s the warm aroma of a cornucopia being cooked.
The sound of laughter from a witty banter in the kitchen…
—And then a knock on the door.
He was accepted to a prestigious private university.
Legacy, a word from his uncle.
He has been working at a hedge fund for 20 years.
In a corner office all his own.
He was at the crime scene.
The jury was certain the murderer could not have been.
White Like Me.
