UB40 - Tyler
Versuri/text:
Appeal to the governor of Louisiana
You may get an answer the process is slow
Federal government too much to help him
It`s been nearly five years
And they won`t let him go
(Chorus)
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it`s not so
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it`s not so
Testify under pressure, a racist jury
Government lawyers its all for show
With rows of white faces
False accusations
He`s framed up for murder
They won`t let him go
(Chorus)
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it`s not so
Tyler ..... etc
Police gun was planted
No matching bullets
No prints on the handle, no proof to show
But tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
They show him no mercy
They won`t let him go
(Chorus)
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it`s not so
Tyler...... etc
Appeal to the governor of Louisiana
You may get an answer the process is slow
Federal government too much to help him
It`s been nearly five years
And they won`t let him go
(Chorus)
Tyler is guilty the white judge has said so
What right do we have to say it`s not so
Tyler .... etc
Gary Tyler was convicted at age 17 of shooting to death a 13-year-old white boy
Gary Tyler was tried as an adult (age 17)and convicted at trial in 1975 by a Louisiana court. The case was marked by several flaws and alleged lack of experience of his lawyer. The police produced a gun they claimed had been found on the bus, and it later disappeared from the evidence room in the decades following the conviction.
Since it was a capital case, Tyler was sentenced to death by electrocution. He became the youngest inmate on death row.
In 1977, Louisiana's death penalty was ruled unconstitutional and Tyler was resentenced to life in prison.
He is serving his sentence at the Louisiana State Penitentiary in Angola, Louisiana.
