For fallen gospel prodigy, a break in NYC court

This Dec. 29, 2011 New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision photo shows Tyrone Ford prior to his release from prison in Jan. 2012. Ford was a gospel music star who got a president's attention at age 12 and a drug user with a long criminal record at 38. He had been locked up yet again when he recently asked for another in a series of chances to show he could change his life. and got that opportunity Friday, March 30, 2012, when a judge shortened his parole by a potential three years because of changes in New York's once famously harsh drug laws.
