Whakarāpopototia te tuhinga:  Ko tētahi tangata i noho tata ki te 30 tau i te rārangi mate o Alabama i tukuna i te Paraire i muri i te whawhai tekau tau-roa ki te whakamatau i tona hara. E ai ki te Birmingham News, i a ia e haere noa ana, ka mea ia: 'E whiti ana te ra!' I tukuna a Anthony Ray Hinton, 58, i te ata nei mai i te whare herehere o Jefferson County i Birmingham. I awhi ia i nga mema o te whanau e tangi ana i a ia e haere ana ki waho, a ka awhi tona tuahine, a Darlene Gardner. I tangi tana tuahine i a ia e awhi ana i tana tuakana: 'Mauruuru koe e te Ariki, mauruuru koe e Ihu.' Panuku ki raro mō te ataata. Freedom: Ko Anthony Ray Hinton (i waenganui) i haere noa atu i te whare herehere o Jefferson County i Alabama i te ata o te Paraire i muri i te 30 tau i te rārangi mate. I horoia e Hinton he roimata i a ia e korero ana i waho o te whare herehere whai muri i tana tukunga mai i te whare herehere i muri i nga tau 30. E mea ana a Hinton kāore i tika kia tatari ia kia 30 tau mō ngā kaitirotiro ki te whakamātautau i te patu i tangohia mai i tōna kāinga, ā, ka whakatau kāore i taea te hono atu ki te hara. He ata pai ki a koutou. E whiti ana te rā. I te toru tekau tau ki muri, ko te whakapae i whakaarotia kia tangohia taku ora i ahau. Kāore rāua i tango i ahau i tōku whānau, i ōku hoa. I tino hiahia ratou ki te whakamate i ahau mō tētahi mea kāore i mahia e au. Engari ki a koutou katoa e kopikopiko ana i ngā kāmera, e hiahia ana ahau kia mōhio koutou he Atua. E noho ana ia i runga, e titiro iho ana ia ki raro. Ka whakangaromia e ia, otira ka tiakina e ia, a ka tiakina ahau e ia. A e hiahia ana ahau ki te whakawhetai ki a ia. Kāore au i te whakama ki te whakamōhio atu ki a koe, ehara i te mea he roia anake tana i tono mai ai ki ahau, engari ko ngā roia pai rawa atu. A, e hiahia ana ahau ki te ki atu ki nga hapu o nga patunga, ka inoi tonu ahau mo koutou, pera tonu me taku mahi mo nga tau 30 kua hipa. He hē o te whakawa, ehara i te mea ki ahau anake, engari ki te whānau o ngā patunga. Ki a tātou katoa e mea ana e whakapono ana mātou ki te tika, koinei te take hei tīmata ki te whakaatu. No te mea e kore ahau e noho i runga i te rārangi mate mō te 30 tau. Ko te mea anake i meatia e rātau ko te whakamātautau i te patu. Engari ki te whakaaro koe he mea nui koe, he mea kaha hoki, kei runga ake koe i te ture, kaore koe e whai whakautu ki tetahi. Engari kei a au he rongo māu mōu. Ko nga tangata katoa i whai wāhi ki te tuku i ahau ki te rārangi mate, ka whakautu koe ki te Atua. I tukuna a Hinton...
I whakawakia a Ray Hinton mō ngā kohuru e rua i te tau 1985 i runga i tētahi patu i kitea i tōna whare. I whakawhiwhia e te Kooti Nui o Amerika ki a ia he whakawakanga hou nā te mea kāore i tino ōrite te patu ki ngā pupuhi i kitea i ngā wāhi o te hara. I tēnei wiki, i kii ngā kaituku ture kāore i kitea he taunakitanga e ōrite ana te patu a Hinton ki ngā pere i te wāhi o te mahi. 'Kāore i tika kia noho ahau i te rārangi mate mō te 30 tau. Ko te mea anake i meatia e rātau ko te whakamātautau i te patu,' i mea ia i te Paraire. I tukuna e te whānau o tētahi o ngā tāngata i patua he whakamaharatanga kāore a Hinton i kitea he 'kore hara'
