7:32 pm
and i've got butterflies in my. backyard you know. why you know with the options they're going to use. you know i honestly thought that we were going to be excited you know for this day . and i think it's just completely different and i think we're scared we're sad. we're not here i'm not saying i don't get anything that needed to come for a long long time i'm sorry it took so long. but i'm not i mean you don't ever want to wish anybody dad you know i mean it's a horrible thing to see somebody die but that was his sentence and it needs to be carried arrow. and who when he heard it if he didn't. if he was you know put into general population if you can because there's just.
7:33 pm
this tendency to come down you know. and i think you're always going to hear is not to hear his name again you know every time you turn on the news you've got another appeal going every time you do this there's going to guard his name again. we were tired of it all in and hurts too because we remember exactly what. he did to dad and it brings back that day every single time you hear it on the news or you see it in the paper it's like reading even reading living that day and you know. yeah. first. of all evil.
7:34 pm
whole thing stupid since when you put it through with suspects or with with gardner stammering that's just not right. it's like totally wrong. reason changes to the world very probably means it's real miles davis firing squad excuse you know stuff it's rather painful not. really sad. i'm really sad that the united states of america would even allow such a tragic thing to occur. sad. and besides the fact that it's my father. makes it easier to be together as a family it's a support you know and support group for what's about to happen across the street so. we also have there is also a couple here. that is a nice one of the victims that was killed by my dad and they've been down here and
7:35 pm
they've been with us and have forgiven my dad they've been down here with us the whole day so it's been it's been a good day it's a sad ending but a good day. at midnight mr geiger was removed from his observations and walked. to the chamber he was escorted by corrections staff and was calm and went willingly mr gardner was seated in the chamber and placed in restraints and warden turley asked mr gardner if he had any thoughts or feelings to express to which mr gardner replied i do not. following the statement which was placed over mr gardner's head and it. and the warrant was served. and this regard no was pronounced dead at twelve seventeen this morning i'd like to
7:36 pm
take the opportunity to thank all of the staff for the department of corrections this is fair and onerous responsibility this is been a one that is required complete dedication to spend exhausting it has been one that has been done with absolute dignity and reverence for human life and also reverence for the lives that have already been lost at the hands of mr gardiner. forty nine year old partner with her fiery wife can make it harder to kill method over the top of the lethal injection attorney said he believed in the great trip by the bad guy but i think that gardner spent the last hours of life being reading and watching the lord of the rings. i'm jennifer doppler on with the associated press
7:37 pm
here in salt lake city. it was fast it was. a clinical and very sanitary yet the other observation would be. it wasn't like a movie at all and i remember talking to his brother earlier tonight they did not attend because the one in the garden was telling them that this is a biology act he didn't want them to see that and i like others i founded not that violent i mean i'm not trying to be a bit of a caught here but it was it was just it was sanitized it happened so quickly i was expecting something a little bit more drastic it didn't happen. i have to disagree with some white horse on the table i've got a very and i grew up with a winchester thirty thirty in my house but i think when you see it actually hit a human being and you watch them move to some extent that was it was violent and i
7:38 pm
didn't find it to be clinical at all. oh i know. why. but i thought it was very clean. very like humane. you only see movies that when somebody gets shot you see a ladder all over the place and know this it wasn't that whatever you could just see a little pool of blood by some afterwards or was this blood fly in their mouth and . you're. like i say i feel sorry for them but they do think he owes me an apology
7:39 pm
. and i never did get it so. he could have written me a letter and. he could've asked to talk to me on the phone before. and i would have talked to him. i guess it was the first stuff. i mean i wanted 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 a line. if you look at. but they didn't he said it not to do that so. that i can get along with it this way i feel really at peace now. i feel like it's.
7:40 pm
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
7:41 pm
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 the monsters garbage scum filth vermin trash we do human eyes them so to kill them is
7:42 pm
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 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 in a careful and him anyway. got here because. you can take off
7:43 pm
anybody around. death row the best way. for you. to go on death row they should be going back to where they're in it or maybe remember we are among the maya that did their own way. and the room.
7:44 pm
prison is a difficult and uncomfortable place to live day begins well before all of that noisy wake up call followed by breakfast at four thirty state of texas it's not our country it is. you where when the business as usual no. i don't and listen i hear somebody speak better sense than i know what i read in the paper on the floor into houston paper i think there's one scheduled in there first i remember one time two are well i think we have two this week. and they usually do a month tuesdays so i think i think there may be one tonight one thursday but i may be around. the other whereas i don't know how to keep up with the
7:45 pm
intention. with more than one hundred years in your d.c. jagan house more than one hundred and fifty thousand and ten years our job is to supervise criminal homes and reduce the size of the correctional nationals or the texas department of criminal justice meet this challenge every day protecting and serving the people look tax. it's an eye for an eye on a taste for it if i know that there are places out there that. will cut your hands out cut your fingers off. you know if you steal they cut your hand out and that takes care of that i mean if i lost my hand or stolen i think i'd be a lot less. likely to steal again and.
7:46 pm
it's not ignoring the little it still has it's like most things i said affection directly. like when karla faye tucker got executed our. carrie cary grant i mean we had it every day i don't think there was another satellite truck left in the entire united states ever want to see her. and i mean i had to sort out her took the community you know those kind of things but most times it's always you know it's always mention in the paper and you know local. reporters always
7:47 pm
goes to the executions other than that it's not. it's just part of life here.
7:48 pm
for people there's an illinois. finest surely not five times and in this argument is that there's always the danger of that person. you know read invented in capital punishment be curious and then find it is not needed. now problem is this we have as a nation ever as a nation not done a hard thing it's because we might make sense to me as it was. when we went into world war two suited to go. do you bit then the bombings that took place in the attacks that took place in the invasion didn't it like that innocent people got caught up in that fire and they got all of those bugs and and the civilians got you. well absolutely absolutely.
7:49 pm
but that is stuff was from understand the necessity that a very a freedom depended on our being willing to fight or if we were leaving a lot to be said you know life punishment because we might need to stay still prisons because there's over there's a there's a misfit with prison though that is for us is it oh doorsill hasselt who leave it to say it's because. of that half. of all of us our son needs to understand that he told her you know all those five really designed to be alive and you load that's about it she does it will you all you people to pray for a life you know you're against the war but you're for the bad part is there are so vague they came out of his mother's mood that had already taken the law. and
7:50 pm
lead out in the state of ohio built the government's going to live and i believe what the piece of the liberty of metal beads if i break the wall here is if she were the spirit of partition that's come. lol. you gave. you. a. cause they are. come. come come. come. yes.
7:51 pm
just. we are going to get folks you know live and let live and all that but you know i get a little grumpy with some folks because of you know their politics or their lack of politics or. their lack of desire to get involved in the community and help folks out people who can't speak for themselves feel elderly and prisoners children. you know the disabled. there to seems to be a reluctance to get involved so i wonder about the middle class sometimes these are 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
7:52 pm
to give them a nice car 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 pope working in the house still in their stuff and infuriates him and then they you know elect politicians who say to worry about it i've got an idea how to fix the. course i don't so. i don't i don't blame him that much for him you know from our posts now. i guess it's not easy you got to participate. definitely but none of the justices i was proud of the twenty years i did it and they you know they were in my government as well where they say they had what they say. and then they
7:53 pm
they wrote me our work we have. i always thought we had it right yes this is you know you're convicted by your peer but your peers they are partially but it is jerry back and like they did. and that time they get through selection the jury. they got exactly what they want you know who they won't question enough to know that they're going above l.t. i knew they were alive and they wish you were trouble but i didn't know how we're going to get out of it. we was in a world of trouble to allow them time to get out they tell me they sit watching as
7:54 pm
a man it's hard to get him out. just moved here. no order. to move here for. i used to live here. i was on death row for nineteen years right there in that building. the innocence project in new york and the f.b.i. . the men and women of
7:55 pm
a couple of the people who use me who. were involved in my prosecution knew that it wasn't me it was 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 in the city who told the f.b.i. who i was and that they thought that my case was was fraudulent. and they did d.n.a. tests and it was me. on the evening of an execution about an hour before. everybody goes to the back of the cage and takes your shoe off and starts beating on the toilet if you hit on it with
7:56 pm
a shoe it's insanely loud inside the building so all the dead. through inmates would do that they wouldn't do it long but they would do it. to select 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 but we always did send a message to those men that were dying. thinking about. closure is that so much you're going to meet a lot of people here you know it was the era of the greenback finally coming to an
