MISSISSIPPI SISTERS GET DOUBLE-LIFE FOR FAKE 1993 $11.00 ROBBERY!
For over 14 miserable years, these two falsely accused and incarcerated Scott sisters (Jamie and Gladys) have languished in a gruesome Mississippi prison for a trumped up crime that neither of them committed. Neither of them had any previous criminal records, no one was hurt, and the entire judiciary process during trial from start to finish was heavily tainted by racial malpractice and witness coercion, threats, and harassment. This case has to go down in the annuls of modern American history as one of the greatest miscarriage of injustice.
This travesty of injustice began in 1993 in Scott County Mississippi. It is alleged that the county sheriff had a beef with the sisters’ father over him refusing to pay cash payoffs to the sheriff, whereas the sheriff threatened to wreck havoc upon the entire family if payment did not continue. The father refused, and soon thereafter, the sheriff succeeded in carrying out his threat, as Jamie and Gladys were both nabbed and charged, and later subsequently convicted, of a made-up $11 dollars armed robbery. During the trial, there were numerous inconsistencies and contradictions, and to make matters worst, both of the sister’s lawyers were grossly incompetent in their legal representation. Except for calling only one witness, their attorneys (F. J. Alexander, Jr. and Gail Shaw-Pierson), failed to interview or subpoena several other credible witnesses, and the two attorneys even misadvised the Scott sisters not to take the stand in their own defense. As of this writing, the three witnesses have all recanted their coerced statements implicating Jamie and Gladys by signed affidavits, but no court (as was with the tragic Rubin Hurricane Carter case) has seen fit to either reopen their case or consider the sister’s request for an evidentiary retrial.
At present, after 14 long, long years, through all this unspeakable turmoil, the Scott sisters have been model prison inmates. Jamie has obtained her GED, and Gladys is working to do the same. Both assist in teaching other inmates in some prison classes, and the sisters do speaking engagements outside of the prison to help let the community and others know about how hard life is behind bars. Neither sister is remotely political however, but thanks to some help from the outside, their case or cause has not gone unnoticed. However, to date, there has not been enough exposure or awareness to their unfortunate predicament.
What is so dearly needed is for more of us to get involved. Imagine if one (not to mention if two) of your family members were to suffer the same fate as the Scott family. They need influential competent legal help, and in addition, the sisters need any other kind of assistance including letters or mail of which any would be greatly appreciated. We ask for your help in bringing closure to this tragic senseless case, as the strain and pain has waxed very heavily upon these two innocent falsely accused and convicted sisters.
We do hope and pray that you will use your good office and prestige to help spread this message and appeal and may God bless!
