SABRINA SCOT T

sabrina scott has known her husband,

Todd, since they were kids. She’d had a crush on him, and was shocked, along with the rest of the neighborhood, she says, when he was convicted in connection with the murder of a cop (they both maintain he is innocent). “I saw the way he took care of his little siblings,” she says. “I knew what it was like to come from a lot of trauma at home. Todd was a protector and a provider even at 16, 17.” Years later they reconnected, marrying in 2019. In October, he contracted Covid and has struggled with longterm symptoms. “Every time my phone rings, my heart is in my shoe,” says Sabrina. They were holding out hope for parole this year — he’s served more than three decades and has been a model prisoner, living in one of the “honor block” cells. But right before Christmas, he was denied parole again.
