Four days after Mississippi sought to execute Michelle Byrom, the state Supreme Court tossed her capital murder conviction and ordered a new trial.

my political leanings have changed my views on the death penalty. If I can't trust the govt. to run healthcare, I can't trust them to kill american citizens judiciously.

On average, someone sentenced to death in Mississippi spends about 14 years going through all of the appeals' processes. So this lady had exhausted her appeals and the AG asked the Supremes to set an execution date. Instead, apparently some new evidence appeared that showed that the judge had suppressed some evidence that the son had confessed. New evidence. Not evidence that had been seen before in the other appeals. I think 14 years' worth of appeals will turn up any errors made in any of the prior hearings - unless new evidence is found like in this case.
My question is where was the scum bag son that let his mother sit in prison for 14 years? But, I bet they find out in the end that she still had something to do with killing the husband.

Different story that goes back seven decades ago. The womans name was Corrie Ten Boom and she and her family were arrested and sent to the camps or aiding Jews in Amsterdam(could wrong on that part) Byway of a "clerical error" she as freed by them on the day she was scheduled for execution. Her and the family were sent there by a person that opposed her Christian beliefs and wanted the property which had been in family for a very long time. She was still preaching world wide until the 80s. The matriarch of the Von Trapp family was making public appearances til then also.
