Summary: <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Today on Felony Friday Frantz Michel joins host John Odermatt to discuss his journey from a life sentence to becoming a positive force in his local community. </span></p><br> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">On the show Frantz says that he made bad choices, which led to bad decisions, which resulted in consequences. He was convicted of conspiracy to distribute narcotics; cocaine, cocaine base and heroin. This resulted in a life sentence!</span></p><br> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">Luckily, Frantz Michel was commuted by President Obama on November 22, 2016. Soon after getting out he made it his mission to help young people to avoid the same pitfalls that derailed his life. Frantz founded <a href="https://www.gunsdown.org/">Guns Down</a>, which is a community development and improvement 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization whose mission is to reduce the cycle of gun-related crimes through education and economic empowerment. Guns Down is NOT a gun control organization. <a href="https://www.gunsdown.org/">Guns Down</a> teaches alternatives to conflict and makes the resources available for at-risk youth to pick up new, constructive and productive skill sets. Guns Down strives to empower the youth as individuals and to strengthen their communities. </span></p><br> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><a href="http://bettermoneypac.clickfunnels.com/welcome?affiliate_id=915267">Donate to the Better Money PAC</a></span></p><br> <p><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">You can find the show notes page <a href="http://www.lionsofliberty.com/ff106">>here<</a></span></p><br> <div style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 19px;">Check out the </span><a title="" href="http://www.lionsofliberty.com/ff17">Felony Friday archive</a><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 19px;"> for all previous articles and podcasts. </span></span></div><br> <div style="font-size: 13.3333px;"><span style="color: #333333; font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"> </span></span></div><br> <div style="font-size: 13.3333px;"> <span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 19px;">Also, for more Lions of Liberty content check out the </span><a style="font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;" href="http://lionsofliberty.com/podcast/">Podcast archive</a><span style="color: #333333; line-height: 19px;">!</span><span style="color: #333333;"><span style="line-height: 19px;"> <br></span></span></span><br> <div style="font-size: 10pt;"> <br> <p style="color: #333333; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', 'Bitstream Charter', Times, serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 19px;"><span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"><strong>Submit any questions, comments, suggestions, or ideas to <a href="http://lionsofliberty.com/wp-admin/felonyfriday@lionsofliberty.com">felonyfriday@lionsofliberty.com</a>. </strong>This show is not my soapbox, it is a vehicle to communicate and amplify the injustices rampant in the criminal justice system.
