“If I saw (Lawrence Russell Brewer) face to face, I’d tell him I forgive him for what he did. Otherwise, I’d be like him. My mom forgave all three of them. My mom didn’t want violence anywhere.”
—Betty Boatner, sister of James Byrd Junior
“What a travesty it would be if they don’t uphold the death sentence. … It’s time for justice today. My family needs justice.”
