‘I feel like a million bucks’: Daughter of Michigan prisoner granted clemency rejoices Updated Dec 23, 2020; Facebook Share FLINT, MI -- When Rashawnda Littles’ father is released from prison, it’ll be the second time she’s seen him from behind bars since she was 19 years old. Littles, 48, was heading into the second decade of her life when her father, Michael Thompson, was sent to prison to serve a 42- to 62-year sentence after he was convicted of selling three pounds of marijuana to an undercover informant in December 1994. After serving more than two decades in prison, Gov. Gretchen Whitmer granted Thompson clemency on Tuesday, Dec. 22.
