If you can prove that statement, his conviction can be overturned and he will be free to come to visit all of us. Further, those you claim forced him to lie can be disbarred and their names smeared for all time.

Early on “The appellant then gave a tape-recorded statement, which began at 12:03 p.m. and ended at 12:28 p.m. During the tape recording of the appellant’s statement, the following persons identified themselves as being present: Chief Smith, the appellant’s wife, Alabama Bureau of Investigation (ABI) Agent Simon Benson, and ABI Corporal Robert Scheer. Before giving his statement, the appellant orally acknowledged his waiver of his Miranda rights and also signed a waiver form (which his wife also signed). He acknowledged that he had not been threatened into making a statement and that he understood the waiver of rights form.”

Actually, there was DNA and it should probably still exist if you want a retest. (Personally, I hope they DO, just to remove the trumpian doubt you have raised by making unreasonable claims without evidence. The court threw out the test results because of a number of things, partly because the testing was in its infancy, largely because the defense attorney did such an extremely poor job of defending his client, and that he managed to gain indigent status because his main income was from drug sales. They did not throw out a 50 point match of his palm print in her car, which he testified he had never entered and later testified he did drug deals out of (unbeknownst to the poor kid he murdered — or to anyone else on the planet).

Understand, when faced with a retrial in which a new test could be taken, and knowing what the jury had done the last time, he took a deal of pleading guilty with the death penalty off the table.

The government has no business executing anyone. Life in prison, no parole for crimes so designated
