Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Clemency Board are considering early prison release for a man known as 'White Boy Rick,' once one of the FBI's youngest informants and the subject of a Hollywood movie.
This undated booking photo provided by the Florida Department of Corrections shows Richard Wershe Jr. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Clemency Board are considering early prison release for the man known as "White Boy Rick," once one of the FBI's youngest informants and the subject of a Hollywood movie. The board on Wednesday, March 13, 2019, heard the case of Wershe, who's imprisoned in Florida for his role in a large car theft ring operated while he was in federal prison.
His story was the basis of the 2018 film “White Boy Rick” starred Matthew McConaughey, with Richie Merritt in the title role. DeSantis, a Republican chairing his first clemency hearing since taking office, appeared to express skepticism. The governor noted that Wershe got involved in a car theft ring involving some 150 stolen vehicles while behind bars serving his drug sentence.
