A.B. Burns-Tucker
A.B. Burns-Tucker: 本人拥有丰富的法律背景和社会活动经验，致力于为弟弟布兰登争取正义。布兰登在15岁时因不可靠的线人证词被指控参与谋杀，尽管缺乏确凿证据，且有多位证人证实布兰登不在现场，但仍被判处50年监禁。此案反映了美国司法系统中存在的严重问题，特别是针对黑人男性的种族歧视和不公正现象。经过多年的努力，最终通过法律途径为布兰登争取到了重新判决，他被判处已服刑时间，即将获释。然而，由于加州惩教局的行政效率低下，布兰登至今仍未获释，这凸显了司法系统中沟通和行政方面的问题。
V Spear & Sammy Sage: 两位主持人对A.B.的遭遇表示同情，并呼吁人们关注美国司法系统中存在的缺陷。他们认为，布兰登的案件并非个例，许多类似案件都反映了司法系统的不公正和低效。他们呼吁人们向加州州长纽森施压，要求其干预此案，确保布兰登尽快获释。同时，他们也呼吁人们关注司法改革，以防止类似事件再次发生。
