Back to EpisodesSaving Jeffrey Lee from a Death Sentence the Jury Rejected: A Conversation with His Legal Team
Description
In this bonus episode of the podcast, I had the honor of sitting down with MiAngel Cody and Miriam Bankston, two members of Jeffery Lee's legal team. For those of you unfamiliar with Jeffery Lee, he is currently incarcerated and is awaiting execution on death row on June 11 in the state of Alabama.
The jury's verdict recommended life in prison for Jeffery, but the trial judge rejected the verdict and imposed the death sentence. This is known as judicial override, a law that the state of Alabama abolished in 2017 because it is so unjust. Jeffery is a man of faith, a mentor and leader, and a force for positive change and support amongst his community within death row, and his loved ones, as well. He leads with compassion, humility, and grace and his spirit and character inspire others to find courage, hope and change for the better despite all odds. Thank you for tuning in and being here, to not only learn more about Jeffery as a person and his life, but also how you can participate to help save his life.
