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 write her as her daughter, jasmine. she was 17 years old when her mother was sentenced to the events of her any sense. nightmare haunts for a day and night after being harassed, she had to change her name and moved out of state. you often think of her mother all the time. there's no day that goes by, i don't think about her. i wish i had a magical time machine that i can go back in time and tire and put her in my closet . that none of this would happen that she wanted ended up

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're a student. what, how the stock dropped out, my family turned their back on me. i lived in a tent in the middle of the wintertime, just to survive. people emailing me and said, my family should be in state. they said that it was my fault that i shouldn't be here and that i should be dead. i hated america. has still do no love my country. but i hate people.

you sometimes hear the phone call that would tell you that your mom might be executed? yes, but if it 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 are there enough of my own willing to take that risk. her mother's execution seems inevitable. 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. it 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 to me and lived with what they say yesterday. no cancer in the longer they had a miscarriage, or like to go, you know, you know,

everything right now you know, this thing is about saving money. but you know what you know in this place is help me do that. if it wasn't for this place, i'd be living under a bridge. you have had a lot of farce here you got your 1st cell phone. yes. but 1st very, very self. we got to be a part of the 1st text and found calls that live by. now you're teaching myself here. michelle byron receives a retirement pension of $600.00 a month and less than a year. she'll be forced to leave the home and will be on her own. she will have to start all over again with no compensation from the state. office. after being wrongfully think, i don't even get the money that you get when you leave prison. i mean you can get

ahead and you are. i didn't think you were. you know. so now you're on your own and so i don't know. 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 on the news turned on the news and 16 to be executed in 8 hours. her sentence was overturned. michelle byron, always claims her 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 that you know, i did, 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 allowing her to receive a large financial compensation. everybody was

going to go for your 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 to. and what did they wanted you 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 ian and they had taken a mammogram, it prison. so they knew i had it. what does it mean for

you taking no contest is to save their face. so they don't get sick 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 to free in the eyes of the law. she was not pardoned. she remains 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 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 even a 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 to michelle proceedings. he believed in the start that her guilt was unfounded, and that she needed to be released. in case while i was on the court in 2003, the majority of the judges voted to keep her conviction in place to keep her on death row. 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 i wrote oliver diaz, now retired has never forgotten. michel, case, which remains his greatest regret. since 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 death row. 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 to go to death row, support people that can't fight back. they don't have the right sources. if you don't have those resources, the chances of you being convicted, go up dramatically at that point. was a pandemic? no, certainly, no borders just plotting to nationalities the

summer heat sink commentary, prices, system things. we can do better, we should be everyone is contributing. but we also know that this crisis will not go on forever. the challenges create the response, has been so many good people are helping us. it makes us feel very proud that we are in it together. thanks guys or survival guide book stacie just to start at least get him back. repatriations.

look at the rest. the 70 delegates separate kaiser report during the vietnam war, u.s. forces also bombed neighboring laos. there was a secret war. and for years, the american people did not know how much mouth carry back to country per capita, all human history, millions of unexploded bombs still in danger. lives in this small agricultural country, jordyn wieber thing going and cannot happen again. even today, kids in laos full victims of bombs dropped decades ago. is the us making amends for that tragedy and help to the people need in that little land of mines.

it is almost impossible. somebody is convicted once, there's a conviction in place. the state very rarely ever. i mean they, they will proceed completely guilty from that point on. the state will not going to stop until it's over. i've seen cases where prosecutors have their newly discovered d.n.a. in a 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 in place. conviction technically today for the state of mississippi. technically she is guilty, but in exchange that she needs to serve me

money, which i think it's about $100000.00 a year for each year that you serve something around there. somewhere over a $1000000.00, probably more than a $1000000.00. but how can you defend yourself when you're virtually another case accused of killing her 2 year old daughter.

it was 40 when she was convinced that in 2008, the media barely covered the story. the case of a poor drug addicted hispanic woman, mother of 13 children generated no interests. her sister and her daughter in law refused to believe that melissa would have hurt mariah. it was an accident caused by a we went to see the body before they brought her out. i mean we had that in our head and they said she had trauma. she had trauma to the head. and she had a broken arm. the only one i have a buddy in the household. 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. i don't mean bone in her body. i mean, she never disciplined these kids. i remember her yelling, you know, but i mean the kids now i never know the senators and i wish you would if you could all these kids. they've been through a lot, richard try to hate him. so he try to hang himself using this because of what they want to do wrong. when the mom and imagine going from foster care, foster care and somebody else's you need your mom.

my sister was a good mother following the arrest of a release, a loose show, 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 just started 150008 star or do we come up with that many? you can sell everything and we still don't have that many. do you feel that her

attorneys for sit through 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 since this is where she live. nor did they investigate an accident that 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 happened to me how i mean, my sister's 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. i mean a baby. i mean she had, she didn't know how to protect yourself. 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's was never taken into account by the 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 they're saying before we 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 on, 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. i'm sure they they agreed with where 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 by me guilty of the no murder in my daughter and how many of your appeals have been, 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 thereby 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 what your biggest regret is not being the mother that i should have been to my children being a drug addict putting my drugs before i children i think that's that's my biggest regret you know, everybody, you know, they, they hear about that role when they won a,

you know, put a tag on a scent. and that were the worst of the worst. and we're not, you know, some of us deadly lead awful lives out there. but we're not the person that they're accusing us of being any 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 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. so what is 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 and 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 most a dream or a moment to want to hold on to her little monster, which is not sure where she ever flows mosharraf road. she heard her say she was

a liberal but moved. it wasn't enough to be murdered. this is i'm just scared. it's these kids 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 to. i don't know. i'm scared, this is some of you know how we don't see why i don't want to be because i'm scared to do assume you still feel you're not open up says she does. no good. google is here and that there's still hope

and is that if she was and he did me or she chills you go, what would it go over the students who go for the families of those on death row. it's torture and unbearable weights and often in comprehensible punishments whether these women are guilty or innocence .

they are tactics that can be used to get innocent people to confess, to crimes. they didn't commit. i don't even think people in the us really get that the police are allowed to lie to you. the person who falsely fast actually came to believe the lie that they were told about their own behavior. once a false confession is taken, the case is closed and nobody really can tell the difference between a good confession and one that isn't on election night, you may know whether the margin for the winner is so large that it is impossible for the defeated candidate to catch up, so there may still be 10000 votes to count,

but the margin is 80000 votes. it doesn't matter if all 10000 votes went for the defeated candidate, they cannot possibly catch up and that's where we are today. joe biden's margin is so large in all of the states that are being contested, that even though some of the states have not finished county, they still know who won. and joe biden won a majority of the electoral college votes. he has no which will give those will suit wolf bush to be sure. but do you probably want to see your choice for the bench that would have been measured by you going to go with us because all of these

to do just about because those could be game we will see in the movie it is with the we've seen the most news, but it's the most severe, some of it is in your speech coming off and it is the of the 20th century was doing in a year of revolution. the great depression and world war. the 21st is the century of mental illness. those on my woods, that's what surfaced some psychiatry the only question is should we accept it as a fact? the world is driven by a dream, shaped by one person that there is no

day or thinks we dare to ask. and the story of peace deal brokered by moscow is signed by armenia and azerbaijan, ending almost 2 months of bloodshed in the go. in a car, a buck russian military personnel have been sent into the region to ensure hostilities do not break out. again. i need to be taking to the streets of their capital, accusing the country's prime minister of betrayal, branding the truce, a humiliating defeat. you know, the news, russia draws up to sanctions against french and german officials says the sponsor over alexei alleged poisoning escalates the kremlin spokesperson gave an exclusive interview to r.t. .
