mission after last fall. with nineteen dead along the u.s. east coast hurricane irene poses for new york causing severe flooding well leaving millions without electricity. as the headlines coming up next part two of all the special report on the countertop punishment debate in the united states as well me the family of a sixteen year old boy who was executed in one thousand nine hundred ninety one 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. were offered just if it had been any morning. you know we've been rocked there with

bells you know ringing 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 know. it's mix them up it's it's unexplainable. it's. it's. it's a you. can call it for. 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. do i feel responsible for helping in execution yeah. do i feel bad about it you know now do i feel bad for the grieving the jim and and. debbie went through yeah i feel sorry for their loss do i feel. they lost and 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. i don't know when i saw. i saw a. person. like that because i didn't want to. but i was so angry i still wanted it to go. and i have great remorse sometimes for us most of the thinking about it it's done it's done deal done and over again years i've not had to worry

that what is just as nappy what if it gets out here in south l.a. or wherever it did just i had no worries cheney years closure. or not the only ones present at sean's execution that night there were also those who tried to save him.

think. jones execution left scars on his lawyer steve preston. steve still lives in the little town of norman near oklahoma city. specializing in final appeals of a condemned he has lost eleven of them and he has defended and succeeded in saving only two of them. are going to. hear so many people who support the death penalty saying well it's part of our system we have it well the only reason that we haven't it's parts of the system is because they went back to change it and they they support the system and it's wrong and they don't know why it's something they don't know first hand. or even second you

know what. a horrible. process it is. they don't know when told one of their own family members has to go through it and then suddenly. they see everything wrong with. that case and others that shawn's because i was pretty close to home. destroyed my faith in the american legal system before doing go through it he says i have the highest confidence in our courts and our law enforcement is you know i was a cop for ten years. and i practiced civil law and i worked in the courts. i thought that things were good and far and it was seeing the machinery of the state moving so venomously. verma not only against these people on death row to extinguish their lives and ignoring good

evidence and ignoring constitutional violations. just took it out of me. is mainly it's mainly bitter i'm burned out. i really dislike the system i dislike being a lawyer. as what it is 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

carry out their 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 a member shontelle or god it was a party guy that actually he was not an adult at which. i was working i

want to first became an issue. i know sean. thought of while i remember that exchange. with twenty plus execution. was involved in all morning. i was involved in approximately fifty two executions. proximately sixty executions. fred cook who was in charge of sean's execution his father also executed prisoners and the electric chair fred is retired now

and i brought johnny and then and he would use a key made to go he had but i mean you know me he'd known it paid one note two ways of bad it and. so nice dinners and a day if and we get a moan till such time as it was found execute him and then we executed. once they come through that there were they know. they're going to get on that they will they know two ways about it and so that is probably. what was going through sean's mind during his final moments. when an execution takes place belief

a sudden says i injected from this 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 chemical and see that the execution

ran smoothly. fred the oldest planned the procedure. eight nine minutes before the execution is good you we're moving from when they say i'll take humans out of the execution chamber with a payment of six also very strange often when they first come out of a so they have this look on august thirty first if you've known them for twenty years and known for a long time they have this local. disbelief that you're going to be one of. it's going to walk i'm in there you know hank and you know legard and yeah i need a golden era like i'm in i wish it was somebody you wish it was somebody else. and no you said you walk through 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 the same one individual that was 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 strapped down team just for a step and grabbed him by the arm and you know just held him up and assisted him own to the gurney and they look at you like for some direction you know certain way on the gurney and they look at you like you can you know i've gone sort of intimate that we are people who did it. you know and they get up there and then what do we do now like you know we're going to lay down here. what's wrong. you know ask why are you doing i. can't tell me. i'm just going to keep doing. what you can i'm strapped down and they look at you you know i've had him look at me. like he was a buyer say someone i just don't look at i do just i would look at them and i would

look at so much i don't want. someone cries i'm i'm go there point toward i'm sorry let the execution began before he says that he waits a little bit and that way it 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 grow into a system you have that moment of time and if they you know i talked about individual forty five minutes ago many individuals debut. and. it's a humbling experience i mean you. the time is just disbelief you know . because some of them i know for tune twelve fourteen year. you'll never forget about it you'll think about it until the day you know. aired

fiction and how can that not affect you that you're taking some guy even though he's done something to somebody did of his that you're taking some guy's trip even down and basically you're putting 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 horrible 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 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 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 think the jurors are saying look if 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. bob mazie the onion olding da is now retired and lives on his farm a few miles from oklahoma city. i have seen executor and as of oh quite hard on the north my son's nose not much you know was up the prosecutor from bring the charges present players who lives and argue for the death and. i don't think the satisfaction or joy. here's

a nurse or a low hopefully. among a lot of the law enforcement people would agree that his only target i know over the years i have lizards just as you say you hope that it is a deterrent and things it is not proven oil that we. understand oh well i know of for you when you stop someone who's not. the much feared district attorney who has never witnessed a single execution now admits that there has never been any perth's the death penalty has a dissuasive effect on criminality. the facts are bare in the twelve years since sean's execution oklahoma's crime rate has

not decreased. or oh no worry or you private on who also brosnan especially directed young women and children and. i can explain to you why it's every american crimes are very horrible crimes i don't know how to exploit. you have to had several cases one of this county were war friend her husband was smashed a baby against a wall and i don't want to live. person could do that and kill a baby or a crime that we're dealing with i don't want rehabilitation work i think you committed

a horrible horrible crimes. almost beyond redemption how do you teach somebody thought whoa that's the only answer on. because. if people love each other they would become losers.

can't beat. the. can eat. eat eat. eat eat eat eat can be sick. 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 and i for a night i took for a test 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.

there's a script for justify what we're doing today. you know are we doing it today because we like punishing people in my life it's been. it's been eight years now and now confining talk about fully talk about what i've had. do i regret no i help the person not that i was in favor of putting that person to bed and 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 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 it would want us to share a laugh and how to have laugh and cry asked. to believe in god. do you fear his judgement. why well more so hurries. or him out anything does the chance that god is against death penalty.

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.
