The Case of Gary Tyler: Despite Witness Recantations and No Physical Evidence, Louisiana Prisoner Remains Jailed After 32 Years

The case of Louisiana's Gary Tyler has been called one of the great miscarriages of justice in the modern history of the United States. Tyler, an African-American, has been jailed since he was 16 years old for a 1974 murder that many believe he did not commit. An all-white jury convicted him based entirely on the statements of four witnesses who later recanted their testimony. We speak with Tyler's mother, Juanita, and his sister Bobbie McCray. We're also joined by New York Times columnist Bob Herbert, who has been covering Tyler's case. And we hear Tyler in his own words in an
un-aired interview from prison.
