Myself it shifts the whole job to. Times where you just wanted to end it theres many many times for richelle years 30 years in which you know how you dont wake up again. To let me die its hard to find their value for yourself when you know you have no human contact so that anybody gets convicted of something its outrageous youre it automatically. Away from that person to stop or topical because you dont want to be associated and theres a can somebody to lie. And not much and thats reporting. Have to look at the way and develop a copy and then let a girl buy democracy when youre a nominee we have to wrap this up now we have to get oh ok well thank you so much. Thank you good luck on not thank you good luck to. Thank you. Like many women on death row shauna 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 to her as her daughter jasmine. She was 17 years old when her mother was sentenced to death. Events of her andersons 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. Theres no day that goes by i dont 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 youre 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 emailed me and said my family should be in state. They say that it was my fault. That i shouldnt be here and that i should be dead. I hated america. Has still do. And i love my country but i hate the people. You sometimes youre. The fellow 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. In a fair way to which me for the rest well i phone willing to take that this. Her mothers execution seems inevitable. Unless she can finally have a new child. 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 her spirit. And when they say yesterday everything. No cancer in the bones. They had a miscarriage or for a while. Like to go you know do some traveling you know everything. Right now you know the thing is about saving money but anyway you know. In this place is. If it wasnt for this place. I would be living under a bridge. While you have had a lot of farce here you got your 1st cell phone yes but 1st very self we got to be a part of the 1st text and found calls that later by. Now youre at it. Teaching myself. Michelle byron receives a retirement pension of 600. 00 a month and less than a year she will 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. After being wrongfully. I dont even get the money that you get when you leave prison. I dont even get it. And you are. No. So now youre on your own and so i dont know. Ive come through too many obstacles. To let it get me down. What 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 and the surprising way. And the little girl on this for was next door to me she said youre not going to be executed youre free. And you know ive heard that so many times now she says its on the news. And on the news and i said Michelle Baron 6 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. Im going to tell you that you know i did and it wasnt for the money it was for the. Letters that were never taken into account by the court this evidence should have cleared Michelle Byrons 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 wasnt going to be a trial. And thats why i couldnt 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 this 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 at the prison so they knew i had it. What does it mean. For you taking no contest is to save their face so they dont get sick. And they dont 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 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. Oliver diaz now retired has never forgotten michel case which remains his greatest regret. Since. Hes made a point of speaking in the media about the unfairness of the death penalty. For the poor and. Rich people generally dont go to death row poor people do. I mean if youve got the resources if youre wealthy if youre rich if youve got your own private attorneys and you can hire investigators and you have witnesses youre not to go to death row support people that cant fight back they dont have the right. Sources if you dont have those resources the chances of you being convicted are go up dramatically at that point. He has an. Impossible soup wolf which sleeps. W club or was. Sure. I can order cook doesnt actually matter best to put a gun the murder. You got that when you ask all of those to do because those stories could be game we all see in the movie confused with the it seems. Obvious but its the most severe some of put it in your speech come off and use the of. The 20th century was thinking or a revolution the Great Depression and world wars the 21st century of mental illness. Those arent my words thats what surfaced some psychiatry to tell us the only question is should we accept it as a fact. It is almost impossible. Somebody is convicted once theres 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 its over ive seen cases where prosecutors have. Theres newly discovered d. N. A. In the case which will tell you who should have been convicted and prosecutors will fight that they dont 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. Means that she can sue. Money which. I think its 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 not counting medical expenses. But how can you defend yourself when youre poor and about to be executed. 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 fall. 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. To the head. And she had a broken arm. But that could have been from the. Only one i have in the. Other body year and a half old. I dont believe it was melissa the did it. I dont. They were i mean there was a houseful of children i mean small kids i mean i dont know i honestly dont believe it was her. I dont mean bone in her body i mean she never disciplined these kids i remember her yelling you know but i mean the so its just kids. In the home. Ive never known the senators and i wish you would if. You could all these kids. Theyve been through a lot richard tried 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 to foster care. Them. Somebody doesnt. Need your mom. Was a good mother. Following the arrest of middle east solution the family was broken apart and the children were placed in homes all over texas. They have never seen their mother again. I dont know why my sister sitting on death row idea to society having 13 children. It just doesnt make any sense that ill. Have anybody that sat through that trial knows that my sisters child was the circus it was just awful. She stood no chance. She stood no chance we tried to even everywhere pro bono everybody 150 just started 150008 star or do we come up with that money we can sell everything and we still dont 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 lives. Nor did they investigate an accident that mariah suffered 2 days before the tragedy. We got. A fall down the stairs which 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 is moving stuff and whatever she had where would she have time to abuse. The younger boys are the ones that stated that mariah fell i dont even think. Saw when she fell the kids it was just coming from the smaller children m. R. I have fallen down the stairs. 13 stairs down. I mean a baby i mean she had she didnt know how to. Roll or protect herself and she could have been hitting her head. She was falling down and then her last. Course they say she had to come to a concussion to the head. Right there. Which was witnessed by a. Sons 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. Shes on gainesville death row with slim chance of escaping execution. This is the 1st time shes 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. Since. Undead row ive been here. Going on 9 years. On august 12th will be 9 years. Do you ever think that Something Like this would happen. You know. Huge do you feel that used to when the 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. Im 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. You see here. I wouldnt say im scared. I just feel for my children. Now. Not being able to. Say goodbye to them in this. Whats your biggest regret. Not being the mother that i should have been to my children. Being. A drug addict. Putting my drugs before battlegroup. I think thats my biggest regret. You know everybody you know they they hear about their role when they won a you know put a tag on a cent and that were the worst of the worst and were not you know some of us did lee lead our lives out there but were not the person that theyre 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 in the world that led them to do what they did but. Nobody can nobody should inject anybody because everybody sins every day nobodys 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. Public 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 brothers music. And. 6 that. That was one of melissas favorite that was the one time voice is something you can count on paper yeah sure. Growing up which was kind of like my savior more and more the older. Little monster which is not sure where she ever falls mosharraf role she heard her say she was a liberal but. It wasnt enough. To be a murder. This is. Im just scared its. Its. Its. Tragic i think about it because i said how can i be happy how can i. Have a life and she. I have a letter that im using to i dont know. Im scared this is going to hear. How you dont see why i dont want to be counted because im scared to. Do assume youre still feel youre not a. Problem says she does no good google is here. Where. There is still hope. And is able to say. If she was a. New year she chose you go. Go. Go by the students who go. For the families of those on death row. Its torture. And unbearable waits and often in comprehensible punishments whether these women are guilty or innocence. The world is driven by shaped by those with. No dares thinks. We dare to ask. Who. They are or tactics that can be used to get innocent people to confess to crimes they didnt commit i dont even think people in the us 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 and then one that isnt.
