PERRY, MICHAEL & JASON BURKETT: Into the Abyss TV - The Guardian online
-
Michael Perry is on death row at the Polunsky Unit in Livingston, Texas, for crimes he committed ten years ago. At the time of the triple homicide, he and co-defendant Jason Burkett were teenagers. Perry is now 28. Into the Abyss, director Werner Herzog, caption, Channel 4 2013
After a shootout with police, Perry and Burkett were arrested for the murder of Sandra Stotler. In the ambulance, Perry confessed that he and Burkett had also murdered Adam Stotler and Jeremy Richardson. ibid.
Perry later retracted those confessions and argued that he’d first spoken nonsense while high on drugs and then had been roughed up by police until he falsely admitted guilt. Perry and his lawyers argued, right up until the day of his execution, that he was actually in custody on a traffic violation when Sandra was murdered – as they dispute the estimated time of her death. And they insist that false confessions happen all the time when people are under stress, and are grounds to re-open an investigation.
Burkett and Perry blamed each other for the triple homicide but both were found guilty at trial.
Perry was charged only with murdering Sandra Stotler and was sentenced to death. Burkett was convicted of all three murders but, by a narrow jury vote, was sentenced to life in prison.
Perry is now dead. Burkett first comes up for parole in 2041. The Guardian online article 4th November 2011
