http://ireport.cnn.com/docs/DOC-736024 this link shows another prime example of what the system has allowed to happened...IT WILL SHOCK YOU...as it did a lot of people who watched the trial....you can view it and see for yourself....; Reply to this comment

I would like to thank Mr. Morris for turning my life around. His statement "I am forgiving" led me to realize I must let go and move on. If someone can forgive for 25 years of his life being taken. Then I must forgive and move on, as I thought my life ended when my husbands life was taken tragically. Leaving me a widow at 43 years old. I have been running recklessly for 3 years now. My children and grand children, now only lost there papaw and dad, but they also lost me, there mother. After watching your show and interview, Mr. Morton touched my life and heart. I would like to thank him in person. Please allow me to meet such an inspirational man. Thank You jeannie ...My email is jeannie2466@yahoo.com; Reply to this comment
