4:38 am
expecting something a little bit more drastic it didn't happen. i have to disagree with some white course on the table i've got a very i grew up with a winchester thirty thirty in my house but i think when you see it actually get a human being and you watch them to some extent that was inspiring and i didn't find it in clinical. oh i'm. like oh. it was very clean. very like you mean. you know you see movies that when somebody
4:39 am
gets shot you see a ladder all over the place and this it wasn't that whatsoever you could just see a little pool of blood by some a cap or it. could see a lot flying in there are nothing. like it there feel sorry for them but they do think he owes me an apology. and i never did get it so. he could have written me a letter and he could have asked to talk to me on the phone before this and i would have talked to him. i guess it was the prisoner stuff if you're going to say that. i mean i want to talk to it face to face i'd rather do that than have somebody on the telephone i think i can tell the difference between the lines you know if you look him in the eye. and. but they didn't he set it up to do that so. that i can get along with it this way i feel really at peace now.

law. use it in our language we use it in sports we use it in our foreign policy we export it all over the world we say that we don't like the effects of violence on individuals or their families but we have no hesitation in using it. as a solution in this country. the death penalty is reserved for people who were convicted of extremely violent offenses against individuals so most americans have nothing in common with death row inmates they are the easiest group of people in america to have no sympathy for to not think about or

to not care about society has condemned these people as less than human we call them monsters garbage scum filth vermin trash we do you mean. so to kill them is not to kill a person it's to just get rid of garbage in our minds. so using the death penalty is not seen as being violent it's just making america better to purify america by getting rid of subhumans certainly to take a person and lock them up for the rest of their life with no chance of release is not an easy thing to do either nor is it an easy thing to carry out the death penalty but these are things that are necessary to be done. it is necessary to punish crime everything we do to punish crime is unpleasant. but it needs to be
4:43 am
done and so i don't i don't see it as as an issue of violence i see as an issue of deserved punishment being carried out careful and human right. well you're going to come. your way around. that road where you. are the only one ever you. when you go on death row they should be gone back to back where in a. week or a month or so my. way. and the room.

4:52 am
children. you know the disabled. there just seems to be a reluctance to get involved so i wonder about the middle class sometimes the ones who are before. they they make the decisions about who gets elected to office and i can understand the frustration they work very hard for what they have to give them a nice part for the family and live somewhere where their kids can go to good schools and they can live in a nice house in a nice neighborhood and have some you know eighteen year old paul working in the house still in their stuff infuriates them and you know you you know alexa politicians you say to worry about it i've got time to fix the. course you know so . i don't i don't blame them that much but you know from our folks. i guess it's not easy you got to participate. in.

the paper definitely but none of the justices i was proud of the twenty years i did it. i did whatever my government asked them what they say they had replaced. and then they. wrote me our work we have. always thought we had it right yes since you know you're convicted by your peer but your peers personally but it is very. like they did. commit time they get through selection a jury. they got exactly what they want you know who they won't question enough to know that they're going to both l.t.
4:54 am
i knew they were alive and they wish it weren't trouble but i didn't know how i was going to get out it was in a world of trouble to allow i'm trying to get out they tell me they sit watching as a man it's hard to get him out. i. just moved here why no court order. to move here and for. that. the worker. was you are. right.
4:55 am
that. i used to live here. that. i was on death row for nineteen years right there in that building. at the innocence project in new york and the f.b.i. . the men and women as a couple of the people using me who. were involved in my prosecution knew that it wasn't me you know it the jurors they didn't know it wasn't their fault. they committed perjury in another case another man who lives here on death row and when the f.b.i. what they did was falsified an f.b.i. document as part of their investigation of this homicide. and when the f.b.i. found out about it they came knocking and wanted to know what was going on and when they did there were good men and women in law enforcement and in the defense community you know from the city who told the f.b.i.
4:56 am
who i was and that they thought that my case was was fraudulent. and they did d.n.a. tests it was me. on the on the evening of an execution about an hour beforehand. everybody goes to the back of the cage and takes their shoes off and starts beating on the toilet if you get on it with a shoe it's insanely loud inside the building so all the debt. and maids would do that they would do it a lot but they would do it. this way let a guy know that. he was being thought of it we were going to forget it it wasn't really meant to be disruptive or anything but just to let the people in the building know we're here and we're alive and we know what's going on so usually for twenty thirty minutes or so people beat on the toilet and they stop doing it and give that man some peace and quiet with his family and his priest in the end award because he's fixing to die so we always did send a message to those men that were dying. thinking about.
