United States3 years ago The agony of our nation letting you down did not kill him, wow. Truly, God was trusted here. Oregon Justice Reform (OJR) must change the way we do things here before more like these occur.

You did a great job getting your story out to thef public but once gain it took the a CCF attention of celebrities and news/ social journalists to force the courts to re-examine all the transcripts and evidence before they would admit wrongful evidence or perjured testimony resulted in your convictions!

Rikki Kid is one incredible human being. With the injustice he suffered at the cost of an ineffective, inefficient and completely broken system, he could have gone the other way and destroyed himself. Instead, he turned the greatest blunder into a positive, life changing direction; making a difference to so many other people’s lives. Rikki you are an amazing person.. awe-inspiring!!! Best of luck to you and your family. God bless ❤️
