How a police officer’s snap judgment saved NBA player Caron Butler
To see Caron Butler on the basketball court today, you'd have little sense of how far this NBA player has come. As a young boy, he had the dream and the skills, but nearly threw it away for a life of violence, drug dealing and prison. William Brangham talks with Butler and retired Sgt. Rick Geller -- the police officer who helped turn him around -- about Caron’s book, "Tuff Juice."
