Democratic Gov. Tom Wolf said Mill’s case had thrust issues in the state’s system into the national spotlight. They appeared at the Constitution Center.
After serving five months of a two- to four-year sentence on a probation violation related to a decade-old gun and drug conviction, Mill said he felt compelled to discuss his case and issues he encountered in the system.
