Who is Michael Politte? Michael Politte was a boy from Potosi, Missouri. He lived with his mom Rita Politte and next door to his uncle Chuck and his aunt Patsy Skiles. Michael had two older sisters, Melonie and Chrystal Politte and a father who wasn’t around much. As he reached his teenage years, Michael became known as a trouble maker. His favorite antic was playing with fire. Whether he was lighting things on fire with his friends, setting off firecrackers or simply flicking a lighter, Michael always found amusement. Michael was convicted at the age of 14 and has been growing up behind bars ever since.
“My Name is Michael Politte also known as 1073549. I was fourteen years old when my mother was murdered, and I’ve been wrongfully convicted of her death. Some people might define that as hell. That’s what it is. Cause if it can happen to a fourteen-year-old kid, man, who else could it happen to” – Michael Politte
