Rosie + Niko - Rosie Mcintyre (right) and Niko Quinn (left), Exoneree Family Member and Victim Family Member, KansasRosie's 17-year-old son, Lamonte Mcintyre, was convicted of a double murder in 1994 and sentenced to life in prison. Lamonte returned home at 40-years old after being exonerated in 2017. Rosie worked hard to free her son, including often dressing as a man to go out at night to investigate the case. Niko's cousin, Doniel Quinn, was one of two murder victims in the case. Niko testified against Lamonte and later reached out to Rosie to explain that she had been wrong. She and Rosie became friends and fought together to free Lamonte. Their story of reconciliation embodies the spirit of Healing Justice.
