Résumé
At 24 years old, Betty Tyson was a heroin addict selling her body to pay for her next fix. A spiraling chain of events would wrongly send her to prison for a quarter of a century and rob her of more than half her life. It was 1973. The Watergate hearings were underway. The Vietnam War was winding down. And Betty Tyson's life was about to change forever. It was May 25, 1973 when a man walking his dog in an alley in Rochester, New York found the body of a white Philadelphia businessman named Timothy Haworth. Haworth was choked by his own necktie and was bludgeoned to death with a brick. Protruding from Haworth's mouth was a sheaf of weeds. Days later, Tyson, along with a male transvestitc, was arrested for the murder of Haworth, who was believed to had been with a prostitute and fresh tire tracks were found at the scene of the crime. Tyson was the only prostitute in town with a car. Two teenaged witnesses said they saw her with Haworth on the night of the murder. And, most damaging of all, Betty Tyson confessed. A jury of 12 white men found her guilty and she was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison. Almost 25 years to the date of her conviction, Tyson was released from the Bedford Hills Correctional Facility in Westchester County after the judge ruled that police had withheld evidence that could have led to her acquittal, making Tyson the longest-held female inmate in New York State at the time of her release in 1998. The city of Rochester awarded Tyson 1.2 million dollars in compensation. Following is Tyson's story about triumph over tragedy and her life before, during and after her wrongful imprisonment. Betty, the most damning evidence against you was your signed confession admitting your involvement with the murder. Why would you confess to taking part in a murder if you were innocent? I was forced to sign that police statement that I knew nothing about. I was handcuffed to two arms of a chair and beaten by the police. They kicked me, punched me, and yanked my hair. Every time they would stop beating me, they would say, Sign it, you black bitch. At first I refused to sign the statement, but the longer I refused the worse the beatings got. Finally after 12 hours of beatings, I signed a confession typed up by the officer in charge, William Mahoney. I was in so much pain. I never thought the police could do such a thing. To make matters worse I was going through heroin withdrawal. I had gone without a fix for 12 hours and was sick from withdrawal. That statement full of lies was the only evidence against me. Did you realize that you would go to trial and face murder charges after signing this confession? No, I didn't. I just thought that I can get up there on the stand and tell them that the police beat me up and forced me sign the statement. But as it was, it didn't work. Why didn't it work? Because Detective Mahoney found two teenage witnesses, both transvestites, who both said at trial they saw me and Bertha Qon Duval] with the guy [Haworth] on the night of the murder. To make sure these kids would testify, Mahoney put them both in jail and kept them locked up for six months as material witnesses right up until my trial started. Was there any physical evidence against you? There were no fingerprints, not even a piece of hair from me. The tire tracks in the alley that the police swore were mine were proven by a police lab report not to match the tracks on my car. I even had three witnesses who testified during my trial that I was with them at the time of the murder, but the jury didn't believe them since they were heroin addicts like me. I mean there was evidence but the evidence was on my side. I had been beaten and framed by Mahoney. Even the jail counselors saw the welts and bruises, but that didn't come up in court. I thought the jury would hear my story and help me. But the jury didn't care. Even the judge didn't care. But why would these folks believe me over their own? …
