George Bell Served 24 Years for a Crime He Didn't Commit. What's Next?
"He wears diamond earrings the size of Skittles and a trimmed, barbershop beard. Custom Air Jordans. He's forty-seven, a few inches shy of six feet, and his body is slim and taut. He's not much bigger than he was at nineteen, when he was sent to Rikers Island for a double homicide, and when he got there some of the inmates used to slap him on the back when he walked by."
"He lives in a big house on a hill at the end of a cul-de-sac. He calls it his mansion, and it's big but not crazy big, just a nice suburban house, built in the sixties, on a winding, tree-lined street. First thing he did when he bought the place eight months ago was have a security system installed. Just because of the way society is right now,"
He wears distinct jewelry and designer clothes and projects a carefully cultivated appearance. He is forty-seven, slim, and nearly six feet tall. He was sent to Rikers Island at nineteen for a double homicide and served twenty-four years at Green Haven Correctional Facility. Lawyers obtained his release in 2021 and the City of New York paid him $17.5 million. He purchased a suburban house on a hill, installed comprehensive security, and remodeled a sprawling backyard with a pool, patio, gazebo, and stone steps. He continues to buy expensive clothing and emphasize safety.
