Tracy Lamourie from the Canadian Coalition Against the Death Penalty is interviewed on "The World Today" about the Justice for Jimmy Campaign and the recent court decision.
From the collection of songs titled "Lament For Tony M".
"I was prompted to do Lament for Tony M, after the state of Missouri executed my friend and fellow musician, Robert Anthony (Tony) Murray. For a few years at this institution, he and I were the nucleus of one of the best bands. His death touched me because his creativity and musicianship were stripped from the world. Irregardless of what he had allegedly done over a decade before, people do change while incarcerated, hut no one takes notice of that fact. Anyway, I miss one of my best friends; we collaborated on many exciting and interesting compositions." - Jessie Lee Wise
Jessie Lee Wise was executed by The State of Missouri May 26, 1999.
