I have nothing but love and forgiveness for him.

I just fell into this hole.

I still havent quite gotten out.

Of course, moral clarity is just something that comes over time and distance, added Strong.

I see a kid walk into the courtroom, and Im like, OK, Ive been lied to.

Its gonna be life-long processing for me, he added.

And then I really didnt know how much until I spoke with Drake.

All I wanted to do from the day in that courtroom was apologize to whoever was there.

But you have to use that to move on and become a better person yourself.
