Wrongfully Convicted of Capital Murder And More
The impacts of miscommunication can be deadly. “In Dallas, Texas, more than 30 people have been exonerated for crimes they didn’t commit. Christopher Scott was exonerated in 2009.” – The Guardian
A wrongly convicted man by the name of Christopher Scott spends 13 years of his life behind bars until the perpetrator speaks up. Now he confronts the actual perpetrator in an emotional conversation, and then makes it his mission to help innocent men get out of prison. Christopher lost precious time of his life based on inaccuracies, but we are focusing on the impacts of miscommunication.
Miscommunication is the failure to communicate adequately. In most cases it’s why friendships end, relationships fail, businesses decease, and in this case wrongfully punishments occur. The beauty of the Christopher Scott incident is the outcome of helping others that are wrongfully accused. One incident can ultimately change someone’s life which leads us to the story of former hate extremist Christian Picciolini.
Last year at the Glappitnova festival, former hate extremist turned peace advocate and Emmy nominated television producer Christian Picciolini had a powerful session about how his life changed at the age of 14 years old into the Neo-Nazi movement.
“My journey started 20 years ago in 1995 when I was 22 years old. I left the American white power skinhead movement I helped build.” – Christian Picciolini
He was a normal but lonely teen until a confidence man approached him and communicated his views of the world. That man was Clark Martell, creator of the first Neo-Nazi white power skinhead organization in the United States. Christian ended up leaving the movement he helped build to inspire the world through peace and love. You can watch his session here to get a better understanding of why he chose to change, and communicate it to the world.
