Washington — One of the guests attending the State of the Union address would not have been able to attend were it not for the president. Matthew Charles walked to the White House on Tuesday a changed man.
He was once a so-called career offender. In 1996, he was sentenced to 35 years in prison for selling crack cocaine.
„After leaving the military in 1987 I became a lawless person. And it wasn’t until my incarceration in 1996 that the transformation began,“ Charles said.
