The first time Edward Martell stood in Judge Bruce Morrow’s Wayne County Circuit courtroom, he was a 27-year-old high school dropout facing a 20-year sentence after being busted in a drug sting.
This month, Martell returned to Morrow’s courtroom. This time, however, he was sworn in as a member of the Michigan State Bar.
“Any other judge would have flushed me,” Martell told The Washington Post.
“He said, ‘I challenge you to be a CEO of a Fortune 500 company instead of being out here selling drugs’,” Martell recalled. “And I love a challenge.”
Martell didn’t become a CEO, no. However, he did earn a full-ride scholarship to college and another to law school. He passed the exams, and last week raised his right hand to be sworn in as a member of the Michigan Bar.
A stranger than fiction story. And a great one at that.
