A Man Who Was Serving Life In Prison For Murder, Has Just Been Elected To Office 

What an incredible story out of New Orleans over the weekend.
62-year-old Calvin Duncan has gone from being an 8th grade
educated convicted murderer to an exonerated, college educated
lawyer who just won Clerk of Criminal Court. Duncan spent 28
years behind bars, educating himself and helping fellow inmates
before eventually being freed through the assistance of the
Innocence Project. His political opponents used his past to try
and turn voters against him, but it backfired and Duncan came out
on top with 68 percent of the vote.
