Kenneth Bond says one of the best moments since his release was seeing his father. In the sea, his happiness to his joy because I'm sure, as I had those days where I felt like I was going to never come home that he had those days where he felt like he was going to never see his son again on the street. After hearing an argument from attorney Mark Howard with the Georgetown prison justice initiative, a judge reduced bond sentence, allowing for his release as part of the state's juvenile restoration act, but he's not exonerated.
