What was Wes Moore&#8217;s sentence?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the book <em>The Other Wes Moore, <\/em>one Wes Moore went to prison thanks to his part in a jewelry store robbery that ended in murder. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/the-other-wes-moore-characters\/\">Author Wes Moore<\/a> visits Wes in prison to learn how their lives took such different directions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Read on to learn more about Wes Moore, prison, and denial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-the-other-wes-moore-prison-and-prestige\"><em>The Other Wes Moore<\/em>: Prison and Prestige <\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>In 2000, the <em>Baltimore Sun<\/em> ran several stories about two young men named Wes Moore.<\/strong> One story was filled with accolades for Wes Moore, a recent Johns Hopkins University graduate who had received the prestigious honor of becoming the first black Rhodes Scholar\u2014an academic postgraduate award granting fellows the opportunity to study at Oxford University in England\u2014in university history. The other stories were about Wes Moore, a prison inmate because of a jewelry store burglary that resulted in the heinous murder of an undercover police officer. In these stories, Wes Moore was the target of a massive manhunt and eventually one of the suspects charged in the crime.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The glaring disparity in their trajectories caused Moore to wonder where their paths had diverged. <strong>He wondered what had allowed him to succeed and the other Wes Moore to end up serving a life sentence in prison.<\/strong> He decided to reach out via letter to the prison and was surprised to receive a response shortly after.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>What started was a friendship and a journey into their pasts.<\/strong> Moore began to visit Wes in prison. He felt there was something to try to understand regarding their life paths. He believed there was a larger meaning to their intersecting origins and diverging futures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wes-moore-prison-sentence\">Wes Moore: Prison Sentence<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>A year after the shooting of Sergeant <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shortform.com\/blog\/bruce-prothero\/\">Bruce Prothero<\/a>, <strong>Wes Moore sat at a table waiting for the jury\u2019s verdict. <\/strong>He was the only one of the four involved in the incident who\u2019d gone to trial. The other three had accepted plea deals. In Tony\u2019s case, his confession to being the shooter had saved him from execution. All three men had received life in prison without parole.<strong> <\/strong>Wes knew his fate would be the same if he were found guilty.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Wes went to trial because he said he was innocent. <\/strong>He contended he wasn\u2019t there the day of the shooting. His lawyer defended him by saying Wes had been calm when questioned by the police when they canvassed his neighborhood. He hadn\u2019t been a suspect at the time. The lawyer insisted that Wes\u2019s only error was accompanying Tony to Philadelphia without asking what Tony was running from. The last line of defense was Wes\u2019s conversion to Islam in the year he\u2019d been awaiting trial in prison.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The prosecution fired back with eyewitness testimony that placed Wes at the crime, despite the masks worn. <strong>The police had also found a necklace with Wes\u2019s DNA on it.<\/strong> The defense claimed Tony had borrowed the necklace.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The jury deliberated for only three hours. When they walked into the courtroom that day, none of them looked at Wes. He knew he was going to jail for the rest of his life.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wes had never thought much about making plans for the future. His life was one of survival. On the streets, survival sometimes included a few stints in prison for possession and other drug-related crimes. But he\u2019d never imagined this was how things would turn out. Now, <strong>Wes thought about the rest of his life, a life without plans. His path was carved in stone.<\/strong> <strong>Wes Moore: prison inmate. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-conversations-about-incarceration\">Conversations About Incarceration<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When author Wes Moore spoke with Wes Moore (prisoner), he couldn\u2019t believe it when Wes said he wasn\u2019t there the day of the robbery and murder, the crimes for which he was serving this life sentence. No matter how many times he heard it, <strong>Moore was always shocked at Wes\u2019s inability to admit what he\u2019d done<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>More than once, Moore questioned what he was doing at the prison. After three years, he realized that Wes was still just a stranger convicted of murder. <strong>He didn\u2019t really know Wes at all.<\/strong> Moore wondered whether Wes\u2019s repeated mantra of innocence was an attempt to wash it from his mind. If he said it enough, did Wes think he could make it true?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Moore avoided the topic and asked if Wes thought that people were products of their environments. Wes said he thought people were products of the expectations others had for them. What others expected from you tended to be what you believed about yourself. Moore agreed, but he knew it wasn\u2019t that easy. <strong>Others\u2019 influence was powerful, but at the end of the day, everyone was responsible for their own actions.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Why was the other Wes Moore in prison?
