When she was barely 21 years old, Lee Stubbs of Collins was
sentenced to 44 years in prison along with Tammy Vance for alleged serious
bodily harm to Janet Williams. It was a
murky case at best played out in a Lincoln County courtroom. Michael West, a Hattiesburg dentist, who
billed himself as a forensic specialist gave testimony that even he now says
was not sufficient to hold up in court and, based largely on his testimony the
two girls were found guilty in 2001.
Some time ago the Mississippi Innocence Project got involved and after
deposing West and presenting Judge Michael Taylor with additional evidence not
presented in the original trial…he vacated the charge and after 11 years the
ladies have been set free. They lost
precious prime years from their lives behind bars that can never be
re-lived. This has been a tragedy and,
in our opinion a gross miscarriage of justice that should never have
happened. The State Attorney General's
office has until August 6th to decide whether to re-indict
them. We trust that will not
happen. There are people convicted of
murder and other heinous crimes far worse who spend far less time in prison than
these young ladies who were convicted on junk evidence to begin with and need
to be free to move on with their lives in freedom. On the other hand, the 80 some odd cases that
West has testified in should and may well all be investigated closer with an
eye on his testimony. We applaud Judge
Taylor for doing what we consider the right thing. I'm Jim Cameron. Let us hear from you.
