When Denzel Washington's nephew, whom he had raised like a son, found himself in the defendant's chair, the legendary actor didn't hire an army of lawyers. He went to court alone. He didn't ask for leniency. He demanded justice. "I am the reason he is here," he told the judge. "I gave him money, but not my time. Sentence me instead." The courtroom was stunned. The judge, moved to tears, delivered a Solomon-like verdict: he gave the nephew a minimum sentence and sentenced Denzel to 1,000 hours of community service, which he was to complete alongside the young man. It wasn't a punishment. It was healing. They worked together in shelters and centers for troubled teens. Denzel wasn't just serving hours. He was getting back the time he had once lost. Today, his nephew himself runs a program for at-risk youth, saving kids from the path he almost took. Denzel didn't just save one young man. He showed him how to save others.
