UP DATE ; THE SCOTT SISTERS ARE FREE BECAUSE... WE NEVER STOP.NAACP
Gladys and Jamie Scott are returning home for the first time in 16 years.
This evening, Mississippi Governor Haley Barbour suspended their sentences -- handed down in the extreme and biased ruling of Judge Marcus Gordon that condemned each of the women to double life sentences for an $11 robbery.
The moment I landed in Jackson, Mississippi, Governor Barbour called to tell me about the suspension. And as I prepare to meet with him tomorrow, along with Derrick Johnson, President of the Mississippi State Conference of the NAACP,
I want to be clear about one thing: This vindication is because of you, Enoch.
The Scott sisters have read your notes and letters of support.Thanks,
Benjamin Todd Jealous
President and CEO
