Postcards from the Imagination

I'm outraged that I haven't heard this story before. Where the hell is the media on this? An innocent man on death row should be prime time, no? Thanks to Kevin Andre Elliott for the heads up. Please help spread the word. The facts, from Wikipedia.com:

"Cory Maye (M-D-1982?-present) is a prisoner on death row in the U.S. state of Mississippi. He was convicted of the murder in the 2001 death of Prentiss police officer Ron W. Jones, during a drug raid. Maye pleaded not guilty at his trial, citing self-defense as the reason...

At 11 p.m. on the night of December 26, 2001, Jones accompanied a seven-member SWAT team from the Pearl River Basin Narcotics Task Force, a four-county police agency responsible for drug enforcement. He was not a member of the team, but had been invited along as he had passed along an confidential tip that large quantities of marijuana were being stored and sold in the apartment of Jamie Smith, who lived in the other half of the duplex. The officers had obtained search warrants for both apartments. Whether the warrants legally allowed for a no-knock entry is still not clear...

There is disagreement about what happened next. The officers then either served the warrant on Maye's half of the duplex, or entered what they thought was another door to Smith's in search of more contraband (later, prosecutors would say both were served simultaneously). Attorneys for Mississippi and Maye differ on whether the police clearly identified themselves. Maye, who was asleep at the time of the raid, retreated to his bedroom and readied a .380-caliber pistol. When Jones entered, Maye fired three times. Jones was wearing a bulletproof vest, but it did not cover the area where he was hit, and the injury proved fatal...

Maye had no criminal record, and wasn't the named target of a search warrant..."
