ABC premieres 'For Life' legal drama inspired by kingpen who represented himself in court and won

In the new ABC legal drama "For Life," a falsely accused kingpen, convicted with life in prison, self-vindicates. He served 7.5 years fighting to prove his innocence instead of coping a plea to serve 2 years. The series is based on true story of Isaac Wright, Jr. who became an attorney and now serves in the same courtroom that convicted him in life. Because he never gave up on himself, he was exonerated with the confession of a police officer. Curtis "50 Cents" Jackson is the executive producer of the timely series, which premiered on Feb. 11. Starring Nicholas Pinnock, "For Life" airs tonight and every Tuesday night on ABC at 10/9 Central.

From Hank Steinberg, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson via G-Unit Film & Television, Doug Robinson and Alison Greenspan of Doug Robinson Productions and Isaac Wright Jr. The pilot is directed and executive produced by George Tillman Jr. (The Hate U Give).
