Some noteable quotes from the article:
"And then he gets nothing for it - no money," Steve adds. "The legal system
tells him good luck and, by the way, get your life together even though we aren't going
to give you anything for your five years in jail.", commenting about Richard Alexander
of South Bend who was convicted in 1998 of being the River Park rapist and spent five years
in jail before DNA evidence linked two other men to the crimes.

"I'm obviously going to have to get some major sponsorships to be able to do this," he admits.
"But it's a goal I really want to do," Steve states about the trek coming up where, a builder
by trade, is hoping to make it across America - from San Francisco to the Statue of Liberty -
to raise funds and awareness for people like Richard Alexander.

"I just think there are times when prosecutors and cops conspire together to convict someone without all the evidence in hand - or with tainted evidence," Steve says after admitting
he can sympathize with Alexander from personal experience without going into his own personal history with the law.
