Shon Hopwood is a professor at one of the most respected law schools in the US, Georgetown in Washington. He has the most fantastic track record in petitioning the US Supreme Court to get prisoners' sentences reduced. It would be the envy of any lawyer, but is all the more remarkable when you consider that Shon used to be a bank robber. (Photo courtesy of Shon Hopwood.)
