36 Years and Counting: Clemency for Patty?

Patty Prewitt is a 73-year-old mother of five, grandmother of 13, and great-grandmother. For the past 36 years, Patty has been serving a life sentence after being convicted of murdering her high school sweetheart husband, Bill. However, Patty has always maintained her innocence. The only recourse for Patty now is for Missouri Governor Mike Parson to exercise his constitutional power to grant her clemency. Dr. Phil discusses Prewitt's case with Patty's oldest daughter, Jane, Patty's friend Mary, and Patty herself from prison. Patty's attorney, Brian Reichart, tells Dr. Phil why he believes Patty deserves to be with her family. And, two state Representatives from Missouri, Shamed Dogan (R) and Tracy McCreery (D), have spearheaded a group of bipartisan lawmakers to sign a letter to the Governor begging for mercy. "Wrongful Convictions" podcasters Jason Flom and Maggie Freleng also support Patty. Plus, Patricia Wright, who spent 24 years behind bars for a crime she says she did not commit, is now free and tells Patty not to give up.
