What happened
In 2010, at 16 years old, Corey Webb was involved in an incident that led to his arrest and prosecution as an adult.

Without a full understanding of the long-term consequences, and with limited guidance, he ultimately pleaded guilty and was sentenced to 50 years in prison.

No one was physically injured in the incident, but the outcome resulted in a sentence that will keep him incarcerated for decades.

At that age, Corey was still developing. Science consistently shows that the parts of the brain responsible for judgment, impulse control, and long-term decision-making are not fully formed until the mid-20s. Yet decisions made at 16 determined the rest of his life.

Visit www.secondchanceforcorey.com to hear his full story, in his words.

 
Since then, Corey has done everything he can to grow.

He earned his GED and multiple educational certificates with honors. He has spent years studying the law, helping others with legal research, and becoming a leader among his peers. He has taken accountability for his actions and continues to work toward becoming a better man.

 
This petition is not about ignoring what happened.

It is about asking whether a decision made about a child should define the rest of his life without reconsideration.

 
Corey has now spent half of his life in prison.

Without relief, he could remain incarcerated until his mid-60s.

We are asking for his case to be reviewed with full consideration of:

❗His age at the time of sentencing
❗The handling of his case
💙The growth and rehabilitation he has demonstrated over the last 16 years
 
Everyone deserves to be seen for who they are today, not just who they were at their worst moment, especially when that moment happened as a child.
