My name is Tony Leater I’m serving the sentence of Life Without Parole, Thirty-four years ago with distorted beliefs, I cowardly participated in the heinous crime of 1st degree murder.
My life didn’t start off with bad behavior, For I was raised with two loving parents who instilled integrity and morals into my life. Taking a wrong turn into my understanding of a traumatic occurrence, I allowed myself to fall into destructive beliefs and behavior.
Today I am actively living in rehabilitation and making living amends. I’ve reclaimed my authentic self and now the values and morals that were taught to me. I now embed them into every fiber of my prosocial life.
Today I interact with others as an example via my character, and mentor them on human decency, respect of self as well as for others, the condition of a people will never change, until they change the condition within themselves.
