James Barber—the first prisoner Alabama is preparing to put to death since a series of problematic lethal injection attempts prompted a pause in executions—says he's not afraid to die but remains uneasy about the state’s ability to carry out the procedure.
Several of Epps’ family members were traveling to Alabama this week for the execution. At least one of her grandchildren, Sarah Gregory, has forgiven Barber,that she wrote a letter to him explaining how she needed to set aside her rage.
The pair began corresponding and eventually spoke on the phone. Gregory, of Maryland, told NBC News that she planned to travel to Alabama for the execution but declined to comment further before the appeals process is resolved.Barber said forgiveness from Gregory is “just incredible” after such an inhumane act that was “unforgivable.”
“I don’t want people to think, well, I want to die,” Barber said. “Nobody wants to die. I think there’s a lot that I can accomplish and people I can help. Change hearts. I’d like to be around, I would. But to make it clear, I’m not hanging on to this life. And begging, begging for more to a governor who would never do that anyway.”to uphold the “sanctity of life,” can then allow for putting people to death in cases in which victims’ families ask for leniency.
