BREAKING NEWSNancy Lockhart, a legal adviser and analyst, submitted the following news item. Lockhart, who holds a Master of Jurisprudence from Loyola University Chicago School of Law, posts frequent updates on the Scott Sisters case at http://freethescottsisters.blogspot.com/.
Media activities surrounding the Scott Sisters case are diminishing and pressure needs to remain on Governor Haley Barbour to release them immediately.
Please assist us from December 13, 2010 to December 21, 2010 by blogging, having discussions on radio and television about the sisters, and requesting that calls be placed and e-mails sent to Governor Barbour's office in support of freedom for Jamie and Gladys Scott.
This time frame was selected in order to make sure that calls and e-mails will reach the governor before the Mississippi state government holiday.
Whether the Scott sisters are innocent or guilty, any reasonable person can see that the punishment they received does not fit the crime. In addition, Jamie Scott is very ill and suffering from stage 5 renal (kidney) failure.
Currently, it’s up to Governor Barbour to commute their sentences and pardon them.
Each sister is currently serving double life sentences each for an $11 robbery – that's four life sentences between the two sisters. To date, the sisters have been in prison 16 years. Let Governor Barbour know that you're seeking justice for the Scott sisters…. now!
