First degree intentional homicide is a Class A felony which results in a sentence of life imprisonment if convicted. This is the charge Edward L. Hennings originally received twenty-four years ago. Unlike most charged with such a serious offence, however, Hennings has not only found freedom outside of a cell, he also escaped the lifestyle that got him there and is now a respected business man, author and sought after motivational speaker.

Every story worth reading, however, has a rising action that leads to conflict and Hennings’ began in his teens.
