29th Annual SME Sioux Falls Women in Business®
Sioux Falls Convention Center Sioux Falls, SD
Sponsored by: Stewarts School State Farm Insurance Sanford Health Starmark Cabinetry Wellmark Blue Cross & Blue Shield of SD
Evening Speaker: Betty Anne Waters
What would you do if your loved one was sentenced to life in prison - and you were 100% certain of his innocence? Betty Anne Waters - inspiration for the upcoming major motion picture starring Oscar winner Hilary Swank - lived that nightmare when, in 1983 her brother was sentenced to life without parole for a murder and robbery he swore he didn't commit. When his appeals were shot down and funds for lawyers dwindled, Betty Anne decided to go to college and later, law school to get the credentials necessary to prove what she always knew: Kenneth Waters was innocent. At the podium Betty Anne tells her incredible true story of how persistence and determination fueled by an unbending belief in her brother's innocence lead to his exoneration in 2001.
