In August 2019, Jason Bryant was set to be released from his prison sentence after Senate Bill 1437 passed in California, a law stating that a defendant who did not commit actual murder should not be charged with murder. Vanity Fair spoke with Jason in May 2020 after he had been released from prison for 40 days. He answers the exact same questions and looks back at his time capsuled answers from last year.

My biggest fear is going to prison for a lifetime, for something I didn’t do…

  So look up ‘JaackMaates Happy Hour Podcast Raphael Rowe.’ And watch that, Raphael Rowe was sentenced to life in prison for crimes he didn’t commit, he’s free now though obviously.

Maybe how much hardship you might face outside but the thing that will always be with you is your freedom.

  White people always be surprised when a person of colour is “well spoken.” You expecting him to speak “black” or like a criminal?

  Haise Stormblade lol calm down Chris rock can’t blame the man he assumed this guy would be a cold hearted criminal and is probably shocked that the man really does seem to have turned a new leaf and sounds nothing like a thug who associates himself with armed robbers he’s probably just positively surprised

  @Tubby Montana Firstly i am calm. Secondly, you calling me chris rock is racists, are you implying all black people look the same or is it because i called the typical way white people think about black people, that you want to jokingly call me someone else.
  Sounds about white to me. I bet you have black friends too right?

Coming out of prison after 20 years during a global lockdown. At least he can see his family everyday!

It takes a certain type of woman to hold it down & remain faithful while their spouse is locked up. Kudos!

This man conducted robberies, resulting in someone being murdered. I wonder how the parents of the murdered person feel watching this. I am missing the point of this, please inform me.

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson shows us what’s inside her Labubu-laden Louis Vuitton bag. The WNBA MVP always carries two pairs of glasses, depending on what the occasion calls for, and pulls out her favorite snack, a bag of Sour Patch Kids. The most meaningful item in A’ja’s bag is her late grandmother’s coin purse, which she now uses to carry her ID cards. “I don’t put coins in it because my heart’s in it.”
