Nancy Lockhart was interviewed by Raphael Louis on his Sunday, November 16 Internet Radio program, "Gateway to Heaven" in a webcast entitled "The Wrongful Conviction of Jamie and Gladys Scott." Nancy came across clearly in the webcast, as did the girls' mother, Evelyn Rasco and a niece who was also present.
Nancy forthrightly presents her views on this case during the interview as she does in her written articles. She is emphatic in her desire to concentrate on the quickest possible release for Jamie and Gladys Scott, allowing other concerns to be addressed afterwards according to the family's wishes.
For those unfamiliar with their case: Jamie and Gladys Scott were wrongfully convicted in a Scott county Mississippi trial in 1994 for a double armed robbery involving at most ten or eleven dollars. Though sworn affidavits state the sisters were not involved, Gladys and Jamie each received double life sentences. They have now served fourteen years in prison for a crime they did not commit.
Nancy asks especially for trained legal assistance in handling details of the case as well as public assistance in spreading the word about the plight of Jamie and Gladys while they remain in prison.
Specifically, Nancy needs the assistance of people from the general public who will follow her lead, using their particular abilities in accordance with the direction she sets. This approach is understandable, as Nancy has devoted herself extensively to this case for over four years now.
Momentum seems to be growing to resolve this case, Nancy reported. She has an interview with a Washington D. C. radio station scheduled to air on Monday, November 24. A colleague is petitioning members of the Harvard Law faculty to review the case. More and more members of the public are signing the petition to free Gladys and Jamie. Possibilities grow for wider media attention to the case: as Nancy says, "Media gets media!
