The men on death row had been told the world would be better without them. I tried to say that this may not be where we want to be, but let's do what we can for one another.

When you have a death row case, you have to make 100 percent sure you have the right person. But these DAs in the state of Alabama are racist.

You get to know everyone on death row. You become friends with them and their families. I met some great guys. Everyone regrets what they did.

What do you say to a person who is going to their death? Normally, we would just say, 'Hang in there, keep your hope up,' because there is hope until the very last second.

I'm really trying to bring an end to the death penalty because it means so much to me.

I spent 30 years on Alabama's death row for a crime I did not commit.

I went to Paris, I went to France, I went to England, I went to Ireland. In my mind, I can go wherever I wanted to go. I left death row every day.

Death Row is the same every day - breakfast at 3 A.M., lunch at 10 A.M., dinner at 3 P.M.

I was put on death row because of hate.

I shouldn't have sat on death row 30 years. All they had to do was test the gun. But when you think you are high and mighty and you're above the law, you don't have to answer to nobody, but I've got news for you.

Everybody that played a part in sending me to death row, you will answer to God.

I hope that America will do away with the death penalty. I truly believe we are better than that.
