These pictures were taken shortly after Jack Potts signed an authorization for Millard Farmer, Andrea I. Young, and Joseph M. Nursey to act in his legal defense. They organized a federal habeas corpus action attacking the constitutionality of his state court convictions, persuading the court to grant him a stay of execution—the very ruling that was denied an hour earlier in court, that would have otherwise led to his scheduled execution the next day. Jack Potts died 15 years later of liver cancer in Augusta State Medical Prison in east Georgia.image/jp2http://rightsstatements.org/vocab/InC-EDU/1.0/Atlanta Journal-Constitution Photographic ArchiveCapital punishmentExecutions (Law)Millard Farmer hugging a woman upon reading Jack Potts' appeal, Atlanta, Georgia, June 4, 2012.StillImage
