Attorney Recalls Gang Life in Inspirational Memoir
Assaulted by cops and pigeonholed into a class of “bad kids” by Judges and attorneys, David Lee Windecher spent 8 years of his life angry and fighting against “the system.”
David Lee Windecher addresses poverty, crime, redemption, rehabilitation and the flaws in America’s legal system by recounting in breathtaking detail his inspirational transformation from defendant to defense attorney in “The AmerIcan Dream: HisStory in the Making.”
David was first arrested at age eleven. What started as desperate measures to feed his family of six turned into a criminal lifestyle racked with vice and violence. Over the following eight years, Windecher joined a gang, sold dope, built and masterminded a crime ring and was arrested 13 times.
David Lee Windecher beat the self-imposed negative cycle of street life through an unwavering faith in God, support from his family and sheer commitment to be better.
