Earwitness
You are invited to a special event Sunday, May 5, from 4:00pm-5:30pm here at All Saints! This will be a conversation between journalist Beth Shelburne, host of the critically-acclaimed Earwitness podcast about Toforest’s case, and Akeriya “Muffin” Terry, Toforest’s daughter who has been making short videos on Instagram to tell her story of growing up with a father on death row for something he didn’t do.
Toforest Johnson, a 50-year-old Black man, has been on Death Row for more than 25 years for a crime he did not commit. Greater Birmingham Ministries is leading a state-wide advocacy campaign with faith-based institutions seeking to support his case and bring him home to his family. Hundreds of Alabama residents and faith leaders – as well as Jefferson County District Attorney Danny Carr, and even the original trial prosecutor - have called for a new trial. But Alabama continues to seek Toforest’s execution.
