that mey admitted to arranging the murder she then decided that it'd be best for ch for milky to die she was then charged with first-degree murder despite no actual record of her admitting to the crime the state determined she had masterminded the shooting and she was sentenced to death over 20 years later questions started to get asked regarding M's confession to detective Sate which Melky still denies ever giving I had absolutely nothing to do with the brutal murder of my son Christopher and I did not give a confession to Mr Sate reportedly the court found
that detective Sate had a long list of lying under oath and violating individual rights while interrogating melky's alleged confession was the only direct evidence linking her to the crime and finally 24 years after the arrest and facing the death sentence her conviction gets overturned losing a child to murder is a devastating tragedy being falsely accused of a crime you didn't commit is also a devastating tragedy try to imagine that what happened to me could happen to any one of you milky now walks out a free woman there are no reports of Milky receiving any compensation
