An actor who was wrongfully convicted of murder by Kamala Harris, who was then the District Attorney of San Francisco, has revealed his plans to vote for President Trump, highlighting “the economy, the border, and inflation” as key factors influencing his decision.
Jamal Trulove, who endured six years in some of California’s harshest prisons following his conviction in a murder case led by Harris, was exonerated in 2015 during a retrial. This case was marred by allegations of misconduct by both the police and Harris’ office.
In a recent statement to the New York Post, Trulove declared that he intends to support President Trump in the upcoming November election.
Trulove, who starred in The Last Black Man in San Francisco, told The New York Post that life was “good” under Trump’s administration but has taken a downturn since he left office.
“When we took at what our life was like when Trump was in office we felt like life was good compared to right now,” Trulove explained. “We wasn’t in no wars, right now we’re in wars. Illegals wasn’t coming in, but they’re coming in now.”
Trulove added that he could never vote for a woman who was responsible for his “being framed for murder.”

Trulove, known for his role on the VH1 show I Love New York 2, revealed that he supported the Biden-Harris ticket in 2020 due to pressure from Hollywood executives and advisors, fearing professional backlash if he didn’t. He also commented on Hollywood’s strong left-leaning bias.
Shortly after his TV appearance, Trulove was arrested and charged with the 2007 murder of Seu Kuka in San Francisco. The case relied on the testimony of a single witness, Priscilla Lualemaga, whom then-District Attorney Kamala Harris praised as a “brave eyewitness.” Trulove was convicted in 2010 and sentenced to 50 years to life. However, in 2014, his conviction was overturned due to prosecutorial misconduct, with the court criticizing Harris’ office for misleading the jury about the danger to the witness.
