whatever but when it's someone that that you care about. and you give the same you know for the one they kill if it's mixed emotions it's it's unexplainable. it's sad. it's. called for. and. so wastes. he was the last. part of me. and my sister in. his car. he was my sister's child she's gone now he's gone now they're all.

in that society and so do i feel responsible for helping in execution yes. do i feel bad about it. now do i feel bad for the grieving the jim and. debbie went through yeah i feel sorry for their loss do i feel they lost more than i did. they lost vonder and sean i just lost my father did they lose more you bet grandfather jim shawn's and debbie refused to come to the execution on february fourth one thousand nine hundred nine sean took about six minutes to die.

i don't know when i saw. i saw a. person i tried. i didn't want to think. but i was still angry i still wanted to go. and i have great remorse sometimes for that's most of the. violence it's done it's done deal done and over it's years i've not had to worry it's right it's just as napa when he gets out of here in south america worry about

things just i had no worries years closure. the only ones present a chance execution not night there were also those who tried to save him.

jones execution left scars on his lawyer steve press and. steve still lives in the little town of norman near oklahoma city. specializing in final appeals of the can damaged he has lost eleven of the men he has defended and succeeded in saving only two of them. i would hear so many people who support the death penalty saying well it's part of our system we have a well the only reason that we haven't explored is of the system is because they act to change it and they they support the system and it's wrong and they don't know why it's so they don't know first hand. or even second you know what a horrible. process it is. i don't know when told one of

their own family members has to go through it and suddenly there. they see anything wrong with. that case and others that i've done with shawn's because i was pretty close to it. and destroyed my faith in the american legal system before doing death row cases i had the highest confidence in our courts in our law enforcement is you know i was a cop for ten years. and i practiced civil law and i worked in the courts on i thought that things were good and far and it was seeing the machinery of the state moving so venomously. them annoy against these people on death row two to extinguish their lives and ignoring good evidence and ignoring constitutional violations.

that just took it out of me. is maybe it's maybe better i'm burned out. i really dislike the system i dislike being a lawyer. that's what it's there. steve no longer attends the executions. many people in oklahoma claim that the executions are humane and painless. i'm heading to mcallister in the eastern part of the state where the penitentiary is located to find the man who executed sean sellers. in oklahoma the prison guards carry out the death sentences.

the simplest way is to run an ad in the local newspaper looking for officers who participated in the executions. i am a problem there. you know i member shot seller because he was a party guy that actually he was not an adult at which it did work only first became any being me thing you know sean.

thought of while i remember that exchange. when this twenty first execution. was involved in all morning time. i was involved in roxbury fifty two extractions. proximately sixty excuse. fred cook who was in charge of sean's execution his father also executed prisoners in the electric chair fred is retired now

and i brought johnny and then and he would use of he had made he had but i mean you know he he he he had known it they were no two ways of bad it and. so i say nothing today if and we came on death row no first time and it was found executed him and then we executed and once they come through that door they know. and they're going to have a good omen three ways about it and so that is probably. what was going through sean's mind during his final moments. when an execution takes place police says are injected from this room through these holes in the wall . recruits three separate since to carry out this task the law guarantees that they

remain anonymous. during the entire execution only the guards are in direct contact with the condemned prisoners. tim guarded the inmates during their final hours. blayne was one of the guards that would strap them to the gurney. dark as well. jane would bring the lethal chemical and see that the execution ran smoothly. fred the oldest planned the procedure.

i nine minutes before the execution is scheduled we're moving from one they fail to take humans out the execution chamber with a payment of six. zero option of restraint option when they first come out of this so they have this look on the phone if you've known for twenty years and we know of one time we have this look at. this belief that you're going to be one of them or there's going to walk i'm in there and you're not hearing me not legard me anything golden or like a mayor they wish it was somewhere you know you wish it was somebody who knows. and like i said you walk up to the gurney and they look at you because they don't know they've never done this before there's a sense of stress maybe nervousness. as

far as you know i seen one individual that once they entered the door to the chamber the nerves got to him so bad that they became weak in the knees and you know they just kind of and the strap man came just for a step and grabbed him by the arm and you know just held him up and assist in a moment of the gurney and they look at you like for some direction you know sort of going away on the gurney and i look at you like you can you know i've come sort of i'm telling their people i did it. you know when you get up there and the what you want to do now you know what would you lay down here put your hands on with your arms and. you know ask why are you doing. when you can tell no one can answer i'm just going to keep going and what you're going to strap down and they look at you you know have a look at you know like they want to say by or say some of them i just don't look at him i just i would look at him and i would look at him so i don't want anything

so mom cries him i'm doubt that point towards say let the execution began before he says that he waits a little bit and that way for the governor in case the governor call and that will that's the only way that the execution could be stopped if the governor calls at that point and at that time they will start administering the drug into the system you have that moment of time if i you know i talk of that individual forty five minutes you know many individuals dead now and. it's a humbling experience. at times just disbelief you know . some of them i know for twelve fourteen year. you will never forget about it you think about it until the day you know. aired fiction how can that not a very cheap if you're taking some guy even though he's done something to somebody

did of his if you're taking some guy's trip him down and basically you're putting him to death because you're part of the whole process and build it but yeah it mothers me to this day i have nightmares i wake up waiting i wake up with herbal nightmares that they won't do no good to tell you because you wouldn't understand it unless you've been there. twelve years after the execution of song sellers i met only one participant of the story who didn't seem to have the slightest doubts.

this is oklahoma county's district attorney the man who demanded the death sentence for sean. macey held office for close to twenty five years he is known in the us for being the d.a. who has obtained the most death sentences around sixty. macy always claimed that the death sentence has a dissuasive effect and he reiterated that opinion jury in sean's trial. this may not be the best way to stop the killing but it's the only way i know and i think the jurors are saying look you go and you kill three people in this can't really give you the death penalty that hopefully somebody else will. do. the district attorney's arguments always have the backing of the public.

may see the un yelling da is now retired and lives on his farm a few miles from oklahoma city. i hear the singing think you should use of you know what huh the horse was so slow so much you know i was of the prosecutor running the charges present players who lives and are you for the death penalty i don't claim satisfaction or joy. so here's a nursery hopefully. i'm on a lot of the law enforcement people move to agree hell is the only target i know

other lives of listeners just. like you say you hope that it is a deterrent it means it is not proven oil or for you. there's no way i know of a figure when you stop someone of news of. the much fear district attorney who has never witnessed a single execution now admits that there has never been any perth's that the death penalty has a dissuasive effect on criminality. the facts are there in the twelve years since sean's execution oklahoma's crime rate has not decreased.

or oh no worry or you drivers on who was a person and especially directed at young women and children and. i can't explain to you one hundred seventy. i'm writing a kind of crimes are very horrible crimes i don't know how to explain it. we've seen had several cases one of this county or of your friend her husband used as a baby against a wall and i don't want to listen to the person who could do that and kill a baby like the crimes that we're dealing with i don't want rehabilitation work rather i think if he committed he's horrible horrible crimes. i was beyond

redemption how he had to teach somebody thought. until later on. because. if people only each other there would be killers who.

eat. the. was. the eat. eat fish eat eat eat was the ticket. for many citizens of oklahoma the bible offers an irrefutable justification for the death penalty particularly the verses which are subject to widely differing interpretations about an eye for an eye a tooth for a target pastor don't duncan accompanied sean and many other prisoners both men and women in their final moments now he no longer carries out this mission. there's that scripture justify what we're doing today. and. are we

doing it today. because we are punishing people in my life it's been it's been eight years now and now i can finally talk about fully talk about what happened. do i regret you know help the person. not that i was in favor of putting that person there nothing was going to stop it i was there to help that person and i thought i was i would minister to the person i would talk of there i cannot do this any longer i can't put words in god's mouth but i don't think he would want the death penalty i think he would want us to share a laugh and how to have laugh and crust.

to believe in god are much to your fear his judgment oh well well more so hurries and so much or i'm out even though the chance that god is against death penalty.

was. six years after sean's execution the supreme court of long last ruled against capital punishment for minors. today three thousand three hundred prisoners are waiting on death row throughout the united states. in oklahoma the mortal remains not claimed by family are buried in the little cemetery in front of the penitentiary.
