Into his early thirties, years after his trial, Dana was a bit more mature and open-minded as to how his life had progressed. He'd showed such promise as a young kid in California attending a premier university, displaying a passion for business, just like his successful father. He had a future ahead of him, no doubt about it. A kid like Dana, with all the perks of the American dream at his fingertips, growing up around so much money, could have been anyone and done anything.
But he was lazy. He wanted it given to him. He certainly didn't want to work for it.
After spending nearly ten years in prison, however, Dana claimed he'd had time to ponder the life he left behind and the life that was ahead.
"For interested college/law students, attorneys, and other professionals," he wrote son his pen pal site, "I have much to share as far as the criminal court system and high publicity mega-trials with complex legal issues."
Today, Dana says, he enjoys—as if there were other things for him to do—"reading, writing, working out, running, tennis, Bible study, and encouraging others through fellowship and prayer."
Back to God.
