Nearly 400 protesters marched to the governor’s mansion and the Capitol, in Jackson, Mississippi, today, to call for the release of two sisters who are serving life sentences for a robbery that netted $11. Representatives of the Mississippi ACLU and several other groups joined civil rights veterans in the effort to get a pardon for Jamie and Gladys Scott, who have served nearly 16 years in prison for the 1993 crime in Scott County.
