some point that i've got a little to make and get off to a good i think. what if you could make one copy of a crime or not? i had, gosh, if i possibly can one of the part of a mastermind and one person to get the news then another population made it even more outrageous. and i think the 3rd and i think a lot of women here like that come to that. so it's not just myself little johnny times where you just wanted to end that there's many, many times in which you don't have to wake up again to let me die. it's hard to find yourself when you know you have no human contact. so

anybody gets convicted of something, it's outrageous. you're it automatically away from that person to stop or possible because you don't want to be associated. and there's a kind somebody to live the dream and not much to mention reporting. to look out the way and develop a cop again and let it go by democracy. when you're in town. we have to wrap this up. now we get it. oh ok. well thank you so much. i don't think you could walk on not. thank you. thank you, and like many women on death row 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 write her as her daughter, jasmine. she was 17 years old when her mother was sentenced to the events of her any sense. this 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 that 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 winter time. 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 the people. you sometimes hear

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 at my face. not the people around her that want her dead person that wants her there. in a jail which may feel rest. well, i phone 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. michelle byron spent 14 years on death row, 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 shelter was the only place that would accept this old woman who was poor and seriously ill after breast cancer contracted in prison and several pneumonia, as she underwent a double mastectomy and lived with a systems where they say yesterday, every no cancer in the longer they had a miscarriage or for a while, i'd like to go, you know, do some traveling, you know, everything right? now this thing is about saving money,

but you know what you know in this place is so me do that. if it wasn't for this place, i would be living under a bridge. while you have had a lot of fires here you got your 1st cell phone. yes. but 1st very, very self. we got to be 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 in 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. all this after being wrongfully noting, 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 would know. so now you're on your own, and so i don't let them, i'll 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. you know, 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 and the surprising way. another 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, michel, baron, 16 to be executed in 8 hours. her sentence was overturned, always claims her innocent was own son, also charged. always insisted that he murdered his father for 14 years or her letters where he clearly admitted to the murder. i'm going to tell you 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 it and that's why i couldn't understand why all of us everybody turned against it. and what they do want to do that. they said take the plate plate, take the no contest, take no contest, and then a month later, i figured out why they wanted me to take no count this because i had cancer. i found out a month after i was finally released that i had 3rd stage breast cancer and 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 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 as even 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 to michele proceedings. he believed from 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 my opinion, 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, a 2 tier system where the poorest in advance 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 going 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 are go up dramatically at that point. probably his last battle as president who he tried over the generals and killed by his foreign policy pick up where we were neo cons again, back in control. during

the vietnam war, us forces there was a secret war. and for years, the american people did not know until our country per capita. millions of unexploded bombs still in danger lives in this small agricultural country. jordyn wieber. 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?

it is almost impossible to somebody is convicted once there's a conviction in place. the state very rarely ever. i mean, they, they will proceed as though you are completely guilty from that point on. the state will not going to stop until it's over. i've seen cases where prosecutors say there's 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. in that conviction, technically today, for the state of the technically she is guilty. but in exchange that she needs to serve means

that she can sue money, which i think it's about $100000.00 a year for each year that something somewhere over a $1000000.00, probably more than a $1000000.00. but how can you defend yourself when you're poor and poor public defender. 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. to go through that. 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. what happened was they said she had trauma. she had trauma to the head. and she had a broken arm. but that could have been from the only one i have in a body year and

a half old i don't believe it was melissa the did it. i don't they were, i mean there was a houseful 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. so i remember her yelling, you know, but i mean, i said to her kids, you know, i've never known this never spanked. i wish you what 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 with one of them and imagine going from foster care foster kid and somebody knows

you need your mom. my sister was a good mother. following the arrest of milly 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 idea 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 150008 star 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. 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 lives. nor did they investigate an accident that mariah suffered 2 days before the tragedy. with a fall down the stairs could have been the cause of her head trauma. so from here they were moving and in between that time that accident happened. so to me how i mean, my sister's moving stuff and whatever she had, where would she have time to abuse? the younger boys are the ones i dated that mariah fell. i don't have been soft.

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 course. they say she had to come to a concussion to the head right there. which was witnessed by a son's 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, state appeals have all failed. her last job is to appeal to the u.s.

supreme court. she's on gainesville death row, slim chance of escaping execution. this is the 1st time she's been interviewed about this crime. she has always maintained her innocence and they're saying 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 have been you know, huge. you feel that used to cheer when the struggle to try to? no, no, no, no. because they 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 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 you know, murdering my daughter and how many of your appeals have been the one who 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. i use 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? oh, i'm not being the mother that i should have been to my children being a drug that it put my drugs before i children. i think that's my biggest regret, you know, everybody, you know, they, they hear about that bro, 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 apu lives out there. but we're not the person that they're accusing the sabine. and if there is, if there are some women on that road that are guilty of the charge ino, something was going on with them up 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 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 says, sonny on tape. yeah. growing up. this is kind of like, must i do more with my mom? do you want older? maybe a little monster, which is not sure where she ever flows. mosharraf role,

she heard her say she was a liberal, but it wasn't enough to be a murder. this is i'm just scared to try 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 and i'm scared. she said if you have it in the we don't see why i don't want to be counted because i'm scared to eat. i'm going to see you, you're still feel you're not a problem since she was no good girl is here and that

there's still hope and he settled down. so if she was and he did near future, would you go? what would go? nova students who 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

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 and 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 other states have not finished counting, they still don't know who won. and joe biden, one majority of the electoral college votes,

there 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 u.s. really get that the police are allowed to lie to 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 to them. one that isn't being a new gold rush is underway in the flocking to the gold fields hoping to strike it rich as children, a tool in between gold was very poor. i thought i was doing my best

to get back to see which side will have the strongest appeal. and i hope that the steps we have taken recently will lead to the establishment of a long term peace for the benefits of azerbaijan and armenia. and the stories that shape the way here on our mania and azerbaijan signed a peace deal brokered by moscow and almost 2 months of bloodshed, russian peacekeepers on the ground in the region. i'm armenians, however, are outraged branding the deal both a betrayal and a humiliating defeat. also ahead.
