When i tell people my story, they dont believe it. I guess i wouldnt believe the story if someone else were telling it, but im telling it. And its true. Every word of it. It started when i was born. 56 years ago. But the real story began when i was 19 years old when i went to college. It was 1980. It was the first day of school at Sullivan County Community College up in the catskills about 110 miles from where i grew up. So i drove up there alone. I at least had this really old car. It was a volvo and it was a 1970 volvo. Had like 130,000 miles on it. The car was burgundy and the hood was green. Actually, the car was called the old bitch. But the old bitch got me there. Sullivan was a Community College. This wasnt some Longstanding Institution of higher learning. All these station wagons are dropping kids off. I was nervous. I just got to the school. I didnt know anybody. I was a freshman. I was never the captain of the Football Team in high school. So i was never really like popular.
it had already been called for another special purpose, but we add that had to their purpose so they had the flexibility. and it was i thought a brilliantly conducted investigation. i guess barry kowalski was the lead attorney in it. now, bobby eddy who is the chief investigator for the mobile county district attorney s office, he testified, quote, without his, meaning sessions cooperation, the state could not have proceeded against henry hayes on the capital murder charge. chris galanos who is the mobile county district attorney in 1981 stated, quote, we needed some horsepower which the feds through jeff sessions provided. specifically, we needed the investigative power of the fbi and the power of the federal grand jury. i reached out to him, sessions, and he responded, quote, tell me what you need and you ll have it. and, indeed, your office
prosecuted hayes accomplice in federal court where he pleaded guilty. and mr. eddy testified that tiger knowles, the accomplice, pled guilty on a civil rights violation and received a life sentence, the highest sentence he could receive under federal law in federal prison. and he continued to say, henry hayes was tried in state court by mr. galanos office and found guilty and sentenced to die in the electric chair. and this made hayes the first white man executed in alabama for murdering a black person since 1913. when you were the attorney general of alabama, you later argued to uphold hayes death penalty and in 1997, five months after you joined this body as a senator, hayes died in alabama s electric chair. and i would note not only that, not only did you assist in the prosecution of the face of evil,
