D) who is paying for this 31,000 masters degree??

Pretty sure he comes from a well-off family, but he could also be taking out student loans or have some sort of scholarship from the school. I highly doubt the taxpayers are funding his education.

As for the overall story...

I get why people are up in arms about this issue, it's a very polarizing topic.

But this guy is trying to make the most of his second chance, granted to him by our Supreme Court. He didn't make the rules, but he's trying to make the most of his new opportunity.

He helped found the Louisiana Parole Project, which is a nonprofit that helps juvenile lifers and long-serving prisoners through the parole process and, if granted, their re-entry into society.

I'm pretty sure he was fortunate enough to have a family and support system that didn't completely abandon him while spending two decades in prison, and now he's trying to pay if forward.

One of the most infamous murderers of Christians in the Bible, Saul, was transformed by God, saved by grace and became one of first great evangelists of Christianity as Paul - wrote a lot of the New Testament. People can change, and Andrew Hundley is trying.
