On September 12, it will be three years since a local Lexington resident had a clemency petition filed by Attorney Jamie Lau from Duke University’s Wrongful Conviction Clinic - and he’s still waiting on an answer.
All in advocacy

Lexington Native Ricsy Sanchez Paves a Path of Public Service and Advocacy
Sanchez encourages all immigrants and members of the Latino community to learn from the past. "If you want to know where you are heading, go back and look at the past to see what worked and what didn't," she advises. She stresses the importance of doing your own research and forming your own opinions rather than being guided by what you see or hear on the news.
