Jarvis Jay Masters was put on death row for his alleged role in a fatal prison guard stabbing while serving a sentence for armed robbery.
In 1981, Masters arrived at San Quentin State Prison to serve a 20-year sentence for armed robbery. As a runaway child abandoned by his parents, Masters told Begnaud that as a youth he was involved in"a bunch" of armed robberies, recalling his first arrest at the age of 12. Masters was moved to death row four years into serving his sentence after he was convicted of playing a role in the murder of prison guard Howell Dean Burchfield.
"One of the things that sparked the fire for me, he talks about the thing that carried him through life was holding onto the love that people had shared with him, you know, in spite of, you know, his mother being a heroin addict, in spite of all the crazy, violent things that were happening in their house," Winfrey said.
Williams said that the confession comes from people critically involved in the case whose testimony was used to convict Masters.
