Kenneth Gilmore joins Boyd and Lucinda, The Streets Don't Love You Back

Описание: A true-life story of a boy from the Fort Greene projects of Brooklyn who grew up to become a major player in the dangerous but opportunity-filled drug world of 1970s New York. From a young age, Kenneth KG Gilmore was surrounded by savvy hustlers who taught him the unwritten rules of the streets. Under the mentorship of this powerful group of black gangsters—importers of heroin from Hong Kong—KG quickly rose to the top of the drug world and became rich beyond his wildest dreams. Kenneth served 32 years in Prison.

In 1981, after four trials, a New York state jury found Kenneth Gilmore, Jr. guilty of murder in the second degree, attempted murder in the second degree, and criminal possession of a weapon. Gilmore received concurrent sentences of twenty-five years to life on the murder count, seven-and-one-half years to fifteen years on the attempted murder count, and three-and-one-half years to seven years on the weapons possession count. In 1985, the New York Court of Appeals affirmed Gilmore's conviction.

While incarcerated, Kenneth rediscovers his 'True Self'. He sacrifices his life fighting for prisoners' rights to change the inhumane treatment they were subjected to by New York State prison officials and the New York State Board of Parole. In the year 2007, a prominent New York defense attorney petitioned the Supreme Court of the State of New York for Kenneth Gilmore's release.
