In 2012, a shooting near USC left 4 people injured—but no one killed. Despite this, Brandon Spencer, a young man from Inglewood, was sentenced to 40 years in prison. What makes his case even more complicated? He has always maintained his innocence. Just two months earlier, two foreign exchange students were tragically killed at USC, and the pressure to solve that case was mounting.
Brandon's journey behind bars has been anything but easy. Over the last decade, he has worked to go from a level 4 to a level 2 prison, and he’s spent that time working relentlessly to prove his innocence. Now, he’s teamed up with the Innocence Project, hoping to get his case re-examined.
I had the chance to speak with Brandon from prison, where he shared his story.
