11:37 pm
it is. i don't know when told one of their own family members has to go through it and suddenly. they see everything wrong with. that case and others that i've done but shawn's because i was pretty close to home. destroyed my faith in the american legal system before doing death row cases i had the highest confidence in our courts and our law enforcement because i was a cop for ten years. cannot practice 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. and very minutely against these people on death row two to extinguish their lives and ignoring good evidence and ignoring constitutional violations.
11:38 pm
that just took it out of me. is maybe it's maybe better i'm burned out. or really dislike the system i dislike being a lawyer. that's what it's that. 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

11:42 pm
recruits three citizens 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. lane 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.
11:43 pm
eight nine minutes before the execution is scheduled we're moving from when they say i'll take the men's add execution chamber where they came up six officers were strained off when they first come out of this so they have as look on your thirty feet if you've known him for twenty years and been known for a long time we have his look. just believe that you're going to be one of the more that's going to walk i'm in there you know here and you know legard he any day golden or like a mayor they wish it was somebody else you wish it was somebody else. well you said you walk on the floor of 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
11:44 pm
far as you know same one individual that once they entered the door to the chamber the nerves got to him so bad if they became weak in the knees you know they just kind of and the strap down team just reached up and grabbed him by the arm and you know just held him up and assist in a moment of the gurney and i looked at you like for some direction and you know sort of on the way on the gurney and they look at him like you can you know i've come sort of it until we were. you know and then you know if they're in the would you want to do now you know would you lay down here with your hands up with your. you know asked why are you doing the mccain tell one of them is going to do it and what you're going to strip down and they look at you you know that i'm looking at you know like i was a buyer so he saw me i just don't look at him i don't i just i would look at him and i would look. so much i don't want going so mom cries them i'm go
11:45 pm
point toward and say let the execution began before he says that he waits a little bit and that way for the governor a case together call and that will that's the only way that they actually should 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 i think you know i talk about individual forty five minutes ago and individuals are dead now and. it's a humbling experience i mean you. at times it's just disbelief you know. because some of them i know for kiran twelve fourteen year. you will never forget about it you think about it until the day you know. it in fiction how can that not
11:46 pm
a fiction that you're taking some guy even though he's done something to somebody bit of us or taken some guy and strip him down and basically you're putting him to death because you're part of the whole process of doing it but yeah it bothers me to lose day i had 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 sawn 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. three. 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 these jurors are saying look if you go and you kill three people in this can't really give you the death penalty that awfully somebody else one. of. the district attorney's arguments always have the backing of the public what.
