The 150th Day

It was supposed to be his last day in prison. The Israeli life prisoner was waiting for news from the governor's office. Today is the last day the governor had to approve or reject his release.

The governor rejected his release.

Abe has been in prison for 24 years for second degree murder. He was sentenced to 15 years to life. He is not a U.S. citizen. He had planned to go back to Israel after his release.

The governor rejected his release.

I know a little bit of how he feels. It happened to me 5 yeasr ago. I feel for Abe. He has to start his fight for freedom from scratch.

I can assure you that it's not going to happen to me this time.

I shall be released.
