Plea for sisters serving life

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.
