From death row to freedom. The journey took a decade.
There are a lot of themes in Maye’s story. It is a story about the drug war, about the death penalty, about race and class in the South. It’s a story about the inadequacies of the criminal justice system, and it’s a story about the conflict between a man’s right to defend his home and a creeping tendency of police departments in America to serve routine search warrants by breaking down doors. But looking back over the last five-and-a-half years, here among Maye’s party of aunts, uncles, cousins, brothers and sisters, the most poignant moments that come to mind all seem to revolve around family.
Cory Maye’s a free man now. Read the whole story.
