I was wrongly convicted and sentenced to death for murder in 1976. At the time, I was a young mother, wife, daughter, and I was 27 years old. It took 17 years to prove my innocence. By then, I was a widow, an orphan, a grandmother, and I was 45 years old. My two children, who were 9 years and 10 months old when I was incarcerated, grew up without me and went into foster care when my parents were killed in a plane crash.
Kirstin Blaise Lobato was just 18 years old when she was charged with the 2001 murder of Duran Bailey, a homeless man in Las Vegas. She was tried twice for the crime and always maintained her innocence. Two months before Bailey was killed, Lobato was visiting friends in Las Vegas when she was attacked in a motel parking lot by a man who attempted to rape her. She slashed at the man’s groin area with a small knife her father had given her for protection and escaped his grasp.
