The state of Maryland charged Newton with first degree murder and sentenced him to life in prison. Over four decades later, his family is still hoping for release, although Maryland has effectively abolished parole for lifers—even juvenile offenders such as Odell. His family maintains that he is a reformed man. \"He's not the same person he was when he was 16,\" says his sister Jackie Anderson in this short documentary by The Atlantic. This video is part of The Atlantic's October cover story, \"The Black Family in the Age of Mass Incarceration.\" Read the full story Authors: Greyson Korhonen, Daniel Lombroso, Kasia Cieplak-Mayr von Baldegg, Ta-Nehisi Coates Watch more videos Subscribe to The Atlantic on YouTube Twitter Facebook Google+\n
