Life Imprisonment for $11 Robbery (Jackson, MS) – On Christmas Eve in 1993, sisters
Jamie and Gladys Scott left a mini-mart near their home in Scott County,
Mississippi. Their car broke down. They hitched a ride from two young men, one of
whom they knew. Later that evening the two men were robbed at gunpoint by three
teenagers in another car. The robbers took an estimated $11 from the two young men.
No one was hurt. Police accused the Scott sisters of setting the victims up.
Their father, James “Hawk” Rasco had experienced problems with law enforcement after
he moved his family from Chicago back to Scott County, Mississippi. Rasco took over
a nightclub previously owned by a nephew who had turned state’s evidence in a case
against the “High White Sheriff” of Scott County, Glenn Warren. In the case of the
Scott Sisters, the gun allegedly used in the robbery was never located, and the
“stolen” wallet was recovered according to an affidavit by a trustee of the jail.
Jamie Scott is currently suffering from kidney failure and is gravely ill due to the
care she is receiving at Central Mississippi Correctional Facility (CMCF) in Pearl,
Mississippi. Jamie’s condition has grown more critical prompting many groups in
Mississippi to start writing letters and making phone calls to elected officials.
Civil Rights Advocate Dr. Adam Reza said “The people of Mississippi demand an
investigation into the case of the Scott Sisters and we call on Attorney General Jim
Hood to personally look in to the health of Jaime Scott. This is the United States
of America and the Scott Sisters are entitled to their civil rights. We shall pursue
legal action against the state of Mississippi if matters are not rectified.”
