A great tale of justice, perseverance, and second chances:<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Nevest Coleman officially started as a Chicago White Sox groundskeeper Monday after spending more than two decades behind bars for crimes he didn\u2019t commit. Coleman, 49, reflected on returning to his old job, reuniting with his family and his championship hopes for the White Sox.<\/p>\n \u201cI was proud of come back here,\u201d Coleman told CBS News in phone interview. \u201cI love the atmosphere.\u201d<\/p>\n Coleman\u2019s day began with power-washing the entrance to Guaranteed Rate Field where the team\u2019s 2005 World Series commemoration plaza and sculpture are located, CBS Chicago<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n His situation now is vastly different than it was over the last 23 years, when he was sitting in jail as an innocent man. He kept out of trouble, spent most of his time reading books, such as those in the popular \u201cGame of Thrones\u201d and \u201cHarry Potter\u201d series, and tried to avoid the \u201croutine\u201d of television.<\/p>\n When asked what kept him going, he replied, \u201cMy family.\u201d<\/p>\n \u201cI know I didn\u2019t do it,\u201d he said. \u201cMy family was always behind me. My goal was to see everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n In November, Coleman was released from prison after DNA evidence led prosecutors to vacate his conviction in a 1994 rape and murder. A county judge granted him a certificate of innocence this month.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n Check out the video below:<\/p>\n
