Judge Foster
Ralph Myers took the stand before this court, swore to tell the truth, and proceeded to recant most if not all of the relevant portions of his testimony at trial. Clearly, he has either perjured himself at trial or in front of this court. After careful review, it is this court's opinion that conclusive evidence has not been provided that Ralph Myers purged himself at the original trial, and that pressure put on him since his trial testimony could tend to discredit his recantation. Therefore, it is ordered a judged and decreed that the trial testimony of Ralph Myers is not found to have been perjured testimony, an now new trial shall be granted at this time. Walter McMillian shall be returned to Holman Correctional Facility where he is to face death by electrocution.

The Essence of Justice and Humanity
Bryan Stevenson
Through this work, I've learned that each of us is more than the worst thing that we've ever done; that the opposite of poverty isn't wealth, the opposite of poverty is justice; that the character of our nation isn't reflected on how we treat the rich and the privileged, but how we treat the poor, the disfavored, and condemned.
[in the US Senate hearing about the death penalty]
