And so we're trying to get information on her.

Her name's Violet Ellison.

Mm-hmm.

Do you have an opinion about her or have any information that you could give us about her?

Near the intersection of Rosa Parks Avenue and Liberty Street in Montgomery, Alabama, is a tiny red brick church.

Outside St.

Peter AME.

A large white banner is stretched 25 feet across the church's front lawn.

The words, it's not too late to fix this mistake, are written across the banner in black and red letters.

The mistake is to forest Johnson's conviction.

The banner was created by an organization called Greater Birmingham Ministries.

This year, it has traveled to eight different churches across Alabama to help raise awareness about DeForest's case.

Awareness that is growing every day.

These are just a few in the chorus of powerful voices calling on the state to fix this.

Lawyers from all sides of the political spectrum are lending their support, along with former prosecutors and judges, as well as Alabama churches and faith leaders like Sister Helen Prejean.

Even death penalty supporter Bill Baxley, Alabama's former attorney general, has joined the fight.

When Baxley reviewed Tafora's case, he was so outraged, he wrote an op-ed in the Washington Post that said an innocent man is trapped on Alabama's death row.

Taforist Johnson now has unprecedented support.

And it's not just from all these people who believe he's innocent.

The current district attorney of Jefferson County, along with the original prosecutor who sent him to death row, both now say Taforist Johnson deserves a new trial.
