On May 14, 2010, 16-year-old Kalief Browder was arrested by the NYPD after a stranger claimed the teen robbed him a few weeks earlier. The case was weak. Browder's family couldn't afford the $10,000 bail, so he ended up spending three years at Rikers Island before the charges were finally dropped. Now he's speaking out.
