This week we are in the state of Illinois the land of Lincoln or as Celina and Amber like to call it the wonderful state that created Michelle Obama. In Chicago in the 70's and 80's one police precinct was getting a lot of confessions from their prisoners. This area was in the south side of Chicago and specifically Area 2. When one prisoner stated that he had been tortured into confessing it, all of a sudden over 118 African American men shared very similar horror stories of what happened to them.
Celina shares about Kyrian Knox a sweet two year old little boy from Rockford whose body was found dismembered in the Garfield Park Lagoon in Chicago. His mother had left him in the care of Kamel Harris who said two strangers came and picked up the little boy for Ms. Knox. With little evidence and a jail house confession, there was little justice for Kyrian.
*Correction: Celina pronounces Kyrian's name incorrectly throughout the episode as Kear-e-an instead of Ky-ren and is incredibly sorry. And update will be in the next episode with the correct pronunciation.
