I want her to be my face not the people around her that want her dead person that wants her there. One last. A minute. To which me for the rest well i phone willing to take that risk. 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 it this is. 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 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. Head. Like to go you know do some traveling you know everything. Right now you know this thing is about saving money but you know what you know. In this place is. If it wasnt for this place. Id be living under a bridge. Well you have had a lot of here you got your 1st yes but 1st very. Well you got to be a part of the 1st calls that live by. Now youre.

Michelle byron receives a retirement pension of 600. 00 a month and less than a year shell 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. Ok i dont even get the money that you get when you only. I mean you can get ahead. And you are i didnt think you would know. So now youre on the ground and so i dont know. Ive 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 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. 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 and. 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 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 taking no contest is to save their face so they dont get sued. 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 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. 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 a. Wasted life and a deep sense of injustice. This is also what a judge at the mississippi Supreme Court. 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 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 then hes made a point of speaking in the media about the unfairness of the death penalty. A 2 tier system where the poorest. Rich people generally dont go to. 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.
