leave the leaving people in control their destiny as experts point to were those who fought for the revolution added up with a government they didn't choose. and. the fighting in libya still rages on a western oil companies have already started circling around a violent storm country it once again sparks concern the so-called battle for democracy was a war for black gold all along. because we have lines here in our t.v. my colleague says she will update you on the situation in libya in half an hour's time before that though i bring your a special report about life after death row in the u.s. . as sister debbie lives not far from the penitentiary town she too used to take care of her nephew quite a lot when volunteer was out on the road well and laura knew her well the.

we're all for justice if it be anyone. you know we'd been right there with. bells you know ringing it on because it's payback it's been since you know whatever but when it's someone that that you care about and if you did the same you know for them one thank you. it's mix them up it's it's unexplainable. it's sad. it's. called for. some waste. 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 car now they're all. in that societies. do i feel responsible for helping you usually yeah. do i feel bad about it not now do i feel bad for the greeting the jim and. debbie went through yeah i feel sorry for their loss do i feel they lost. more than i did. they lost. and sean i just lost my father and they lose more you

bet grandfather jim jones and debbie refused to come to the execution on february fourth one thousand nine hundred nine about six minutes to die. just so i don't know what. i saw and the person. because i didn't want to think. but i was still angry i still wanted it to go. be what it was. and i have great remorse sometimes for us

most of the time i'm not thinking about it it's donald's done deal done and over again years i've not had to worry beds waste the stairs napping what if he gets out and gets out and they are worried about being good guilds i've had no worries cheney years closure. well we're not the only ones present at sean's execution about night there were also those who have tried to save him.

go. think. jones execution left scars on his lawyer steve price 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 the men he has defended and succeeded in saving only two of them are. going to be. here so many people who support the death penalty say well it's part of our system we have it well the only reason that we have it in this part is of the 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. i don't know when told one of their own family members has to go through it and suddenly there. they see everything wrong. with that case and others that shawn's because i was pretty close to. destroyed my faith in the american legal system before doing death row it says i had the highest confidence in our courts and our law enforcement because i was a cop for ten years. and i practiced civil law and i worked in the courts and 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 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. but 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 shown 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. problem or. you know i member shontelle or

god he was the first guy that actually he was not an adult at the time he went to. work on my first jamie jamie. thank you note xan a. lot of while i remember that exchange. with twenty flashbacks occasion. was involved in all morning. i was involved in approximately fifty two. proximately sixty executions.

fred cook was in charge of sean's execution his father also executed prisoners and the electric chair fred is retired now but about johnny and then and he would yes ok big big oh he had. i mean you know he's guilty he he done it they were no two ways of bad it and. so nice interesting today if and we kept him on death row nto such damage it was time to execute him and then we executed. once a company that they were they know. they don't have good omen well they know who weighs about it and so that is probably.

what was going through sean's mind during his final moments. when an execution takes place really thought sudden says are injected from this room through these holes in the wall the state 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 will move from the from the sale take humans out the execution chamber with a payment of six. strand of when they first come out of the so they have this look on others and if you've known him for twenty years and known for a long time we have a smoke. disbelief that you're going to be one of them but it's going to work i mean are you not here and you know legard and a new governor like a mayor they wished it was somebody else you wish it was somebody else. i said you

walk most 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 saying one individual that once they entered the door of the chamber the nerves got to him so bad that they became weak in any case you know they just kind of and to track down payment for a step and grab them by the arm and you know just an assistant on to the gurney they look at you like for some direction on the toe you know sort of in the way on the gurney and they look at you like you can you have come sort of imply we there are people who need it. you know and you know what would you want to do you know one of them would you lay out. with your arms. and know asked why are you doing a. film. i'm just going to keep doing. what you know spread down and they

look at you you know i've had him look at me. like he was a buyer say something i just don't look at oh i did it just i would look at him and i have the woman. so much i don't want so i think someone cries from i'm down there point toward and say let the extension again before he says that he waits a little bit and that way for the governor in case together call and that will bastille way that they actually should really start if the governor calls at that point and at that time they'll start it minister look through the system you have that moment of time if you know i talk about individual forty five minutes you know an individual dead. and. it's a humbling experience i mean when you. it is just disbelief you

know. because some of them i know for kim and twelve fourteen year. you will never forget about it you think about it until the day you know. it a fiction how can that not affectionate you're taking some guy even though he's done something to somebody get over since you're taking some guy's trip. and basically you're putting it is because you're part of the whole process of doing it well yeah it bothers me to lose 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 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 demand of 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 during 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 you go work 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 onion olding da is now retired and lives on his farm a few miles from oklahoma city. and i hear the singing think you should use of oh ha ha. on the doors my son's nose not much you know was of the prosecutor from bring the charges present past our lives and argue for the death penalty. i

don't like the satisfaction of joining hands and. here's a nurse or law hopefully. i'm on along with the law enforcement people who agree that he lives illiterate the other lives and if it isn't it's just. you say you hope that it is a deterrent against it is not proven well of you. there's no way i know of for you when you stop someone of your who's not. a 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 climate has not the creased. right now or opioid to private on horse and press and especially directly to young women and children and. i can explain three of wives having america problems are very horrible crimes i don't know how to explain and you would see had several cases filed in this county where a ward friend or husband as my baby against a wall and i don't want to live. the person could do that and kill a baby a crime was that we're dealing with i

don't want rehabilitation work rather i think if i commit these horrible horrible crimes. i want we all redemption how do you teach somebody to love. and that's a only answer on. because. it will only show there would be killers you.

can eat. the. can. eat. eat eat eat eat eat was the big heart. 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 test pastor jones duncan accompanied shown to 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. now are we doing it today because we are punishing people in my life it's been. it's been eight years. and now confining talk about fully talk about what i've had. do i regret you know i help the person not that i was in favor of putting that person to there nothing was going to stop that i was there to help that person emma i thought i was i would minister to the person i would talk to there 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 crossed. and believe in god or. do you fear his judgment. why were so. and so much for him.

even though the chance that god is against 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. in oklahoma the mortal remains not claimed by family are buried in the little cemetery in front of the penitentiary.
