Requests:  0 Summary:  The inspiring story of one man's fight against his wrongful incarceration and his eventual triumph--both inside and outside the boxing ring. In the late 1970s, Dewey Bozella was wrongfully convicted of murdering Emma Crapser, a ninety-two-year-old resident of Poughkeepsie, New York. Sentenced to twenty years to life in prison, Bozella fiercely maintained his innocence throughout his ordeal at Sing Sing Correctional Facility, and even refused the prosecutor's offer of freedom in exchange for an admission of guilt. But in 2009, more than a quarter century later, Dewey Bozella would reclaim his identity and his humanity when his conviction was vacated. In this raw and uplifting memoir, Bozella takes us through the trials, tribulations, and joys of his life inside prison and, eventually, as a free man. While at Sing Sing, he took up boxing to channel his anger, and eventually became the prison's light-heavyweight champion...Thanks to his undying faith, stalwart persistence, and the aid of a young pro bono attorney at the Innocence Project who doggedly worked toward Bozella's release when all hope seemed lost, he was released from prison in 2009. Shortly thereafter, he won his professional boxing debut against Larry Hopkins, started an afterschool athletics program for at-risk youth, and was awarded the Arthur Ashe Award for Courage. An incredibly uplifting underdog story, Stand Tall recounts one man's perseverance in the face of injustice and his difficult road to freedom.--Dust jacket.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Art, Music & Recreation 796.83092 Bozella Bo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.83092 Bozella Bo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Waikiki-Kapahulu Public Library Adult Nonfiction 796.83092 Bo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
