CHANGO is the OG when it comes to the world of Gangsters/Street legends. According to the late NY DA Robert Morgenthau, "had the fortune 500 company Johnson and Johnson employed CHANGO and Tito (Chango's partner) they would have made even more money. CHANGO was running a 5 million dollar a year crack empire during the heyday of the epidemic in the 1990s. Having done his time with some of the most notorious Gangsters, he's got plenty of stories to share. From the dark underbelly of NYS penitentiaries to its most dangerous convicts to the stories of those, he's helped exonerate.
Tough sentencing judge LESLIE CROCKER SNYDER gave CHANGO that nickname in her best-selling book, "25 to Life." Do criminals deserve second chances, can people transform? Can murders do good even when sentenced to life in prison? CHANGO chats with "ROCK STAR EXONERATOR” HAROLD FERGUSON of the LEGAL AID SOCIETY about DOING GOOD, the people he's exonerated- Anthony Ortiz, and Robert Hill as well as his new controversial case to exonerate Michael Robinson who served time in prison for killing his wife and child but claims to have been innocent. FORMER DRUG LORD, CHANGO, Producer Alixx Schottland and Moderator/Radio personality Osei Kweku sit down with Harold Ferguson to get their hands dirty TOGETHER!
