He was born in Harrisburg, PA son of Mary Thompson and the late Sam Banks. Wrongly convicted of murder at the age of 14 and sentenced to life in prison. Steve and his family fought a relentless battle with the criminal justice system for his freedom. In June of 2002 he was set free and exonerated after spending 28 years.
