Wrongfully convicted Isaac Wright Jr returns to courtroom as an attorney (2017)

>Wright then passed the New Jersey Bar in 2008, but spent the next nine years being investigated by the New Jersey Bar’s Committee on character before being granted admission to the bar by the New Jersey Supreme Court on September 27, 2017, where he was officially sworn in as a licensed attorney

What the hell? Seven years to overturn his false conviction, seven years to get a law degree, and nine years for the Bar to recognize him?

Reading this gives me hope. It also makes me angry. That he had to fight at all. That for every Isaac there are many unknown innocent that were wrongfully convicted.

If I saw thins in a movie I'd this "Oh come on!". And yet here it is, in real life. A story that beats any movie...
