BORN again ex-convict David Chang, 46, who has been jailed over 100 times, has 36 convictions, and has served eight years in prison for manslaughter, is now asking that his record be expunged so that he can serve his community as a Justice of the Peace (JP).
"I have gone to prison four times. I went to jail over 100 times and is one time out of all that time I went to jail innocently. I used to be in and out of jail, because I was an allround criminal," Chang told the Jamaica Observer in an interview on Thursday. "I used to pick pocket, grab chain, break into house, rob people, loitering — I get charge for all those things — name them and I was charged for them." But according to Chang, who is now the pastor of the 50-member Majesty Transformation Fellowship Church in Majesty Gardens, his sole desire now is to serve his community and give back to the nation as much as he possibly can.
"I have been out (of prison) 15 years now. I am a reverend, I have a visa, I travel overseas. I have been doing a lot of community work and I can recommend anybody like any other pastor. But what is happening with me is that the conviction is still in the way," he said. read more...
