sister debbie lives not far from the penitentiary town she too used to take care of her nephew quite low twenty's boehner was hoping the groups. well and laura knew her well we. were all for justice if it had been anyone arabs you know we'd been right there with. bells you know ringing it on because it's payback it's it's it's you know whatever but when it's someone that that you care about. and you did this you know for the. it's mix them up it's it's unexplainable. it's sad. it's. uncalled for.

so waste. he was the last. part of me. and my sister in. his car. he was my sister's. she's gone now he's gone now they're all. in that society. do i feel responsible for helping in execution yeah. do i feel bad about it no no do i feel bad for the grieving that jim and. debbie went through yeah i feel sorry for their loss do i feel. they lost more than i did.

they lost vonda and sean i just lost my father and they lose more you bet grandfather jim debbie refused to come to the execution on february fourth one thousand nine hundred nine sean took about six minutes to die. just so i don't know what. i saw and. i don't think the person i tried.

because i didn't want to think. and i was still angry i still wanted it to. be what it was. and i had great remorse sometimes for us most of the time i'm not thinking about it it's done it's done deal done and over again years i've not had to worry it's right it's just his nap and what if he gets out it's not to me to worry about things that did kill us i had no words to yours done closure. on the well worn off the only ones present at sean's execution that night there were also those who tried to save him.

i think. sean's 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 condemned he has lost eleven of them and he has defended and succeeded in saving only two of them.

and we hear so many people who support the death penalty say well it's part of our system we have well the only reason that we haven't is part of this of this system is because they won't 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 hand what. a horrible. process it is. they 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 seans because i was pretty close to. destroyed my faith in american legal system before doing death row cases i had the highest confidence in our courts 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. very minutely against these people on death row to extinguish their lives and ignoring good evidence and ignoring constitutional violations. that just took it out of me it's made me it's made me bitter i'm burned out. i really dislike the system i dislike being a lawyer. that's what it's down. 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 execution.

caught him no problem there. you know a member shontelle or because he was a party guy that actually he was not an adult at which. i was working or when i first. came into being me i know sean. bottom while i remember that exchange. when twenty flash bangs. was involved in all morning time. i was an altar proximately. extractions approximately sixty basic you should see.

fred cook who was in charge of sean's execution his father also executed prisoners in the electric chair fred is retired now but about johnny and then and he would yes ok maybe he had but i mean you know he he'd known it they were no two ways of bad it and. so nice in its name today if and we kept him on death row first time and it was found executed him and then we executed. once they come

through that there were they know. good omen they will they know who waved bad it and so they did it for all of them. what was going through sean's mind during his final moments. when an execution takes place police or substances are injected from miss room through these holes in the wall street 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 chemicals and see that the execution ran smoothly. fred the oldest planned the procedure. eight nine minutes before the execution is good you were moving from the well they say oh take humans out of the execution chamber with a payment of six. dogs are very spry and also when they first come over so they have this look on your thirty feet if you've known for twenty years and known for the one time there was local. disbelief note you're

going to be one of them that's going to work i mean we're. not hearing you know legard the anything golden or like a mayor they wished it was somebody else you wish it was somebody else. and i said you walk a motor 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 far as you know i seen one individual that was they entered the door to the chamber the nurse got to them so bad that they became weak in the knees and you know they just kind of and the strapped down team just for a step and grabbed him by the arm and you know just held him and assisted him own to the gurney we're looking at you like for some direction and you know certainly on the gurney and he looked at you know like you can you know i've come sort of it until we want to do. you know and you know if they're in the way you want me to you

know i don't know what would you lay down here. what's wrong. you know asked why are you doing. what can tell me. i'm going to keep doing it and i want you to strap down and they look at you you know i've had him look at me. like they want to say buyers they saw me i just don't look at them i just i would look at them and i would look at terms i don't want i think someone crys them i'm doubt they're pointed toward i'm sorry i think skin should begin before he says that he waits a little bit and that way is for the governor in case to gather 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 system you have that moment of time and you know i talked about individual forty five minutes ago when

individuals dead. and. it's a humbling experience coming. ted turner is just disbelief you know. because some of them i know for twelve fourteen years. you know never forget about it you think about it until the day you know. headed fiction and how can that not affect you think you're taking some guy even though he's done something to somebody bit of this nature taken some guy and stripped him down and basically you're putting him to death because you're poured over the whole process of doing it but yeah it bothers me to this day i had nightmares i wake up waiting i wake up with herbal nightmares that he 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 shaun. of macy 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 joining sean's trial. this may not be the best way to stop the killing but it's the only way i know and i feel 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 had the backing of the public. may see the un yelled in da is now retired and lives on his farm a few miles from oklahoma city. i live in the exact you should use of oh what

ha. might you know what drives a prosecutor or bring the charges present players who lives and argue for the death and. i don't claim satisfaction or joy. is a nurse or law hopefully. i'm not alone with the law enforcement people agree he lives only target oh goodness i have listeners just. you say you hope that it is a deterrent it means it is not proven well before you. know what i know of a figure when you stop someone of news of.

the much feared 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 right and then zero or zero he or you private on who also dress in the especially directed young women and children and. i can explain to you one hundred seventy. american crimes are very horrible crimes i don't know how to explain. we have seen heard several cases one of this county or of

boyfriend or husband was astonished when the against a wall and no one is. the person could do that until a baby. arrives that we're dealing with i don't rehabilitate work rather commit he's horrible horrible crimes. almost beyond redemption how do you teach somebody thought whoa until later on. because. if people only each other there would be killers who.

can eat. the. meat. fish eat eat eat was the ticket was written. 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 we have pastor don't duncan accompanied sean bell and many other prisoners both men and women in the final moments now he no longer carries out this mission. does that square for justify what we're doing today. are we doing it today. because we are punishing people in my life it's been it's been eight years now and now confining talk about fully talk about what i did. do i regret you know i help the person. not that i was in favor of putting that

person there nothing was going to stop that i was there to help that person and i thought i was i would minister to the person i would talk to them i cannot do this any longer i can't put words in god's mouth but i don't think you would want the death penalty i think you would want us to share a laugh and how to have laugh and cry asked. can you believe in god or much do you fear his judgment oh

why were so human race and so much for him. even though the chance that i did against the death penalty. was. six years after sean's execution the supreme court at long last ruled against capital punishment for minors. today three thousand three hundred prisoners are

waiting on death row throughout the united states. and oklahoma the mortal remains not claimed by family are buried in the little cemetery in front of the penitentiary.
