Episode: Beaty Part 2

In part 2 of Mitchum’s stories about his sister Beaty, he talks about how she helped him with all his motions and trials while he was in prison for a murder he didn’t commit.

“They’re just breaking one law after another. And you’ve got to understand. My sister kept notes: times, date, places of everything. And she would immediately get copies of these trial hearings, and these preliminary hearings. Everything that we’ve got today we wouldn’t have had if she hadn’t have done that because they destroyed everything later.”

Episode: Beaty Part 1

Mitchum’s sister Beatrice, better know to the family as Beaty, played a huge role in Mitchum’s life – from choosing his name to helping him fight corruption in his murder trial. Part 1 of her story talks about Mitchum’s earliest memories of her, and the heartbreaking tragedy she overcame.

“His dad was grading the yard where they live. He had Keelean on the tractor with him. Boy he wanted to spend anytime he could with his dad. It seemed to be safe. It was a level yard. And Durand and another kid was on there, too.” -Mitchum on the tragedy surrounding one of  Beaty’s sons
