Convict for life offers kidney to officer's son
Jesse White, a 36 year old West Virginia inmate serving a murder term, offers to donate his kidney to Brian Darby, two year old son of a Wheeling police officer, hoping the boy can regain a chance to play. He states the act is not a ploy and will undergo testing to prove compatibility. Doctors note the child’s condition is improving and may find a donor closer in age. White vows to repeat the offer if another child is in need.
