I recently told you about Robert DuBoise, who was recently released after 37 years in prison for a crime DNA evidence has completely exonerated of. To be honest, I did it because I believe it is the right thing to do, though I'd never met him.
Well, now I have, and I'm even more committeed to seeign this through and righting this wrong. Together, we sat down with Heather Leigh of ABC Action News who's brilliant reporting (we all should do more to reward great reporting) first shone a light on Robert's story and put it on the Buccaneers, and my radars. You can watch her report here [[link removed]] .

The Buccaneers Social Justice Project heard of Robert's story, heard he had been targeted with a 29% interest rate on a car loan (you don't build credit in prison even if you never should have been there in the first place), and a group of Bucs players bought Robert his truck outright and gave him some cash to get started in his new life.
Then, they GAVE HIM TICKETS TO THE SUPER BOWL!!!
If you missed all this, you MUST watch the full NFL 360 story here. [[link removed]]
