For 35 years, Judy Henderson spent countless hours on a prison phone wishing she could hold her children. After a governor's pardon set her free, she knew she couldn't just forget about other moms like her.
Henderson, now 69, was convicted of capital murder for the death of a Springfield, Missouri, jeweler in 1982 and was sentenced to life without the possibility of parole for 50 years, according to the Missouri Department of Corrections. She and her boyfriend had planned to rob the jeweler, but the robbery turned deadly when the man refused to give them a ring and other valuables. Henderson's boyfriend fired a gun several times, killing the jeweler and injuring her, court records show.
