Description
π₯ βThe crime I never committed is now etched into my record. The truthβmy truthβremains unheard.β
In this powerful episode of Three Times A Victim, Bruce reflects on life after being coerced into a guilty plea. What follows is not healingβbut exile. Branded by a false conviction, Bruce drifts through thirteen years of homelessness, toxic shame, and rejection.

βοΈ Life after pleaβwhere justice never came
βοΈ The emotional weight of a criminal record for a crime not committed
βοΈ Toxic shame and internalized isolation
βοΈ Betrayal by Amanda and the collapse of trust
βοΈ Brief moments of hope: a kind mental health worker, a glimpse of connection
βοΈ The question that lingers: What does it mean to live a life branded by lies?
Even in this silence, Bruceβs voice begins to rise againβnot in rage, but in resilient truth.
