a lot about many airlines. and that it's not just. times where you just wanted to end it there's many many times. again. to let me die. yourself. but it gets convicted of something. to automatically. be associated and there's. not much. developed. i did not wish upon your and i don't we have to wrap this up now. ok well thank you so much. thank you.

thank you. thank you and. like many women on death row china for no longer has contact with her family. her brothers and sisters want nothing to do with her and even her own mother testified against her child. in 6 years she has not had one single visit from her family. the only one who continues to raise her daughter jasmine. she was 17 years old when her mother was sentenced to death. events of her any sense this nightmare haunts for a day and night. after being harassed she had to change your name and move out of state. you often think of her mother. all the time. there's no

a day that goes by i don't think about or. i wish i had a magical time machine that i can go back in time. entire and put her in my closet . that none of this would happen that she wanted to end it. over there when she got framed for she did it. i was a kid i had a pretty decent life. to nothing. to lower than nothing you were 17 at the time you were a student you might have the stuff. dropped out. my family turned their back on me . i lived in a tent in the middle of winter time just to survive. people e-mailing me and said my family should be and still. they say that it was my

fault. that i shouldn't be here i should be dead. i hated america. has still do. you know love my country but i hate the people. you sometimes your. the phone call that would tell you that your mom might be executed yes. but if so that i want to be there. i want her to be my face not the people around her that want her dead person that wants her there. are less of. a miniature of my dad which me for the rest well i for willing to take that risk. her mother's execution was in the. unless she can finally have

a new trial. in the united states very few women on death row managed to prove their innocence. lawyers can fight until the last minute but they are almost never able to overturn a decision. since 976 only 6 women have been released. we met one of them and nashville tennessee. convicted for plotting the murder of her husband who beat her she was released in 2015 and died in 2019 she lived in a home for battered women. this was the only place that would accept this old woman who was poor and seriously ill. after breast cancer

contracted in prison and several pneumonias. and lived with. what they say yesterday ever. no cancer in the. longer they had a miscarriage. i'd like to go you know do some traveling a you know everything. right now well the thing is about saving money but you know what you know. in this place. if it wasn't for this place. i'd be living under a bridge. while you have had a lot of here you got your 1st cell phone yes but 1st very very. 9 well you got to be part of the 1st text and found calls that live by. now you're yes. teaching myself. michelle byron. the retirement pension of $600.00 a month in less than

a year should be forced to leave the homeowner will be on her own she will have to start all over again with no compensation from the state. all this can be wrong. nothing i don't even get the money that you get when you leave prison i mean get ahead. and you are i don't think you would know. so now your arm around it is so out of mile. i've come through too many obstacles. to let it get me down. michelle byron went through is inconceivable. after 14 years on death row she was suddenly released just a few hours before being executed. the

woman convicted of killing her husband was not executed today the state supreme court wants more time to review the case. michelle byron learned about her release in a surprising way. and the little girl on this for was next door to me she said you're not going to be executed you're free. and you know i've heard that so many times. so i turned on the news and. 6 to be executed in 8 hours her sentence was overturned. michelle byron always claims you're innocent was. own son also charged always insisted that he murdered his father. for 14 years he wrote her letters where he clearly admitted to the murder. i'm going to tell you which i

didn't and it wasn't for the money it was for the. letters that were never taken into account by the court this evidence should have cleared michelle byron's name and allow her to receive a large financial compensation and. everybody was going to go for a new trial go see a new trial but then i found out. at the last minute there wasn't going to be a trial. and that's why i couldn't understand why all of us. everybody turned against it. and what did they want to do that they said take the plea plate take the no contest take no contest and then a month later i figured out why they wanted me to take no countess because i had

cancer i found out a month after i was finally released that i had 3rd stage breast cancer. and they said that i have had it for years at the stage it was c.n.n. and they had taken a mammogram and prison so they knew i had it. what does it mean. for you to be no contest is to save their face so they don't get sued. and they don't have to pay anything. the state should have paid for initial buyers medical expenses but by signing the no contest agreement she gave up her rights although free in the eyes of the law she was not pardoned she remained guilty consequently she was not able to sue the state or obtain any compensation for her damages they took my life. taking my life to this day still my life is still being taken away from me my

pleasure has been taken away from me. my hopes have been taken away from me. i mean so much as even apology is. the wasted life and a deep sense of injustice. this is also what a judge at the mississippi supreme court thought. oliver diaz was one of the 7 judges who reexamined. proceedings. he believed from the start that her guilt was unfounded and that she needed to be released. while i was on the court in 2003 the majority of the judges voted to keep her conviction in place. even though i had written an opinion urging the rest of my fellow judges to overturn that conviction because i thought there were problems and

i thought it should be overturned she remained in prison and stayed there for i think another 11 years or so after. now retired has never forgotten michel. which remains his greatest regret. since then he's made a point of speaking in the media about the unfairness of the death penalty. for the poor and. rich people generally don't go to. poor people do. i mean if you've got the resources if you're wealthy if you're rich if you've got your own private attorneys and you can hire investigators and you have witnesses you're not going to get a death row support people that can't fight back that don't have the resources if you don't have those resources the chances of you being convicted are dramatically

at that point. the corona virus has become a black swan event for the global economy is no longer whether the u.s. and other economies will slip into recession the question now is how long the recession will last it's going to get worse before it gets better. join me every thursday on the alex sullivan show and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics. i'm showbusiness. i don't trust medical authority at all. and there isn't for that as i had this horrible autoimmune disorder growing up and it turns out it was completely

alleviated with very drastic dietary measures and i went to a number of doctors to discuss what happened to me and i was basically laughed at like diet has nothing to do with our meanest orders so my suggestion to people who have health issues they can't figure out if they're going to see a medical professional and they have been going for 10 years and they're still on the same place they should probably take it upon themselves to start testing things out testing out diet testing out exercise and try and figure out things on their own. once the sentence is pronounced it is almost impossible to reverse it. when somebody is convicted once there's a conviction employees the state very rarely ever i mean they they will proceed as though you were completely guilty from that point on the state if it's sort of like

the arnold schwarzenegger terminator movies not going to stop until it's over and i've seen cases where prosecutors say the there's newly discovered d.n.a. in the case which will tell you who should have been convicted and prosecutors will fight that they don't want this d.n.a. tested because they already have a conviction employees why risk overturning the conviction technically today for the state of mississippi is still technically she is guilty. in exchange. for.

the poor. refused to believe.

we went to see the body before. i mean we had that in our head. they said she had trauma. to the head. and she had a broken. the only one i have in the whole shooting a body year and a half old. i don't believe it was melissa they did it. i don't. they were i mean there was a house full of children i mean small kids i mean i don't know i honestly don't believe it was her. name bone in her body i mean she never disciplined these kids i remember her yearning you know but. no.

i never know the senators and i wish you would if. you could all these. they've been through a lot richard try to hate him so. he tried to hang himself. using this because of what they want to do wrong. one of their mom. and imagine going from foster care foster care. and somebody doesn't. you need your mom. listened to was a good mother. following the arrest of milly's solution the family was broken apart and the children were placed in homes all over texas. they have never seen their mother again. i don't know why my sister sitting on death row

a danger to society having 13 children. there just doesn't make any sense that i'll . have anybody that sat through that trial knows that my sister's child was the circus it was just awful. she stood no chance. she stood no chance we tried to be going everywhere pro bono everybody $150.00 just started 150002 start or do we come up with that money you can sell everything and we still don't have that money do you feel that her attorneys for the trial nope not at all . not at all. sister believes that the lawyers assigned to the case botched the trial. they never interrogated her family or any of her children. says.

this is where she live. nor did they investigate and mariah suffered 2 days before the tragedy. we. could have been the cause of her head trauma. from here they were moving and in between that time that accident happened to me how i mean my sister is moving stuff so. whatever she had. time to abuse. the younger boys are the ones that dated. saw. it was just coming from the smaller children m.r. i have fallen down the stairs. 13 stairs. i mean a baby i mean she had she had no. role or protect herself and she could have been hitting her head as she was falling down and then hit her last. concussion to the head.

right there. which was witnessed by a. son was never taken into account by the court even though they had told this to the police when their mother was arrested. despite the evidence that was never taken into account. have all failed. her last job is to appeal to the u.s. supreme court. she's on gainesville death row. this is the 1st time she's been interviewed about this crime she has always maintained her innocence. and the thing before. you welcome so tell me how long have you been.

on death row i've been here. going on 9 years. on august 12th will be 9 years. did you ever think that something like this would happen and i hope you know. you do feel that used to when the struggle the trial only now you know now. why is that. because the. i think the jury when the jury walked in and they saw. they saw these pictures of my daughter. and i'm sure they. they agreed with what the district attorney was you know trying to convince them that i was guilty so i think they came they came in already thinking that they were

going there accused me and by me guilty of. being no. murdering my daughter. and how many of your appeals have been and i will. i would appeal live so that means my last appeal will go into the u.s. supreme court so that will be my last resort and if i get the night there then i get an execution date. you see here. i wouldn't say i'm scared. i just feel for my children. now. not being able to. say goodbye to them in this that's been.

what's your biggest regret. not being the mother that i should have been to my children. being. a drug that it. put in my dreads before patil grit. i think as does my british secret. you know everybody you know they they hear about that role when they won a you know put a tag on a cent and that were the worst of the worst and we're not in oh some of us deadly lead awful lives out there but we're not the person that they're accusing us of being and if there is if there are some women on that road that are guilty of the charge you know something was going on with

them out there in the world that led them to do what they did but. nobody can nobody should inject anybody because everybody sins every day nobody's perfect we all make mistakes a statement that could be her last words thank you thank you sir as well. as the next woman on the list of those to be executed in texas. when the. elderly all right thank you only the supreme court can save her now. in arlington in south texas her family is also preparing for the worst. when they meet they remember happy times as if to ward off the misfortune times

when melissa lucio danced to her brother's music. and. 6 that. that was one of melissa's favorite that was the one time voice is something you can't put on paper yeah sure. growing up which was kind of like my savior more than my mom the older. i made out of the monster which is not sure where she ever falls mosharraf throws she heard her say she was a liberal but you know it wasn't you know. to be a nerd. just. i'm just scared. he's. trying to actually think about it because i can see how can i be

happy how can i. have a life and she. i have a letter that i'm using it i don't know. i'm scared this is that if you. have it in the we don't see why i don't want to be counted because i'm scared to. do assume you're still sealed you're not open. houses she was no good girl is here and that. there is still hope. and he's able to say. if she was and he did mean your future would you go. what would go. over the students who go but i would go. for the families of those on death row. it's torture. and unbearable waits

and often in comprehensible punishments whether these women are guilty or innocence .
