and make us so then small and hateful because it would just over time destroy us and we know that. vicki and still received piles of hate mail the cues in them of not loving their daughter. you know if you can't stand by your principles when it's difficult they're not your principles. several years past before jerry learned that washington was not guilty. did they had to be like fifteen or twenty executions at that girl who was released from death row that i found out that he was he was innocent as it were out that's as close calling you know he came within days in how to execute an innocent person. our criminal justice system supposed to be the best in the world. make those mistakes and yet when you see

a person like earl washington. something happened there. in the aftermath of the oklahoma city bombing in one thousand nine hundred five congress passed legislation to escalate death sentences the result was a dramatic increase in executions by one thousand nine hundred nine jerry was putting to death more than one person per month. and the death certificate reads. death by almost i. you know i don't make sense i don't want to be consider person deaths committed. but that's what every. at the sixty two executions and the only kilobit that was myself and i refused to look into the mirror. he nearly took. the life of rural washington

and couldn't help but wonder if there were others. research now shows that for every nine executions there is one inmate found innocent and exonerated. one out of ten who might have been mistakenly put to death. for a world cup twenty eighteen coverage we've signed one of the greatest goalkeepers of all such but there was one more question and by the way who's going to be our coach. guys i know you are nervous he's a huge star among us and the huge amount of pressure come out you have to go meet the center of the tell with you and we'll show you all the great the great good you are the rock at the back nobody gets past you we need you to get the doll going let's go. alone.

and i'm really happy to join the to for the two thousand and three and world cup in russia meet the special one come on don't appreciate me just just read the review the aussie team's latest edition to make up as we go. to jersey look. this is holland kentucky. hold on this move them please you can walk through st danny's leave. a ko money city with almost no coal mines left. the jobs are gone all the coal mines are said that. these people a survivor was disappearing before their eyes. i remember thinking when i was younger that if anything ever happened to. all minds here are that it would

become a ghost town but i never thought in a million years i would see that and it's happening it's happened. nearly two years after the bombing the trial was about to begin. karen left her home in new hampshire early to arrive for the opening statements. it was the first time she had scenes are naiads since the arraignment. inside the courtroom karen and the other survivors were seated just twenty feet away he refused to look at them. the defense team would make the case that zokora was unduly influenced by his older brother. the prosecutors would argue that he was

fully responsible for his actions. many victims shared their experiences including the father of eight year old martin who described having to choose between comforting his dying son and saving his daughter. over the next four weeks karen and other survivors relive the horror of the bombing they reached out to each other for support. coming to court it was amazing how quickly and how close we all got it with where like a family. but her husband ron stayed away. since the bombing ron has changed and it's a hard thing to watch the man that you. struggle so desperately and be so angry he's just not the same as he was before federal jury convicted to heart and i have all thirty counts he was facing for the boston marathon bombing just

eleven hours the jury found our native guilty of all charges now they would decide if he should be put to death. the survivors were divided. karin's friend celeste was for a death sentence. the richards not wanting to go through years of appeals but decided against it. it's a long tough process to really examine. why you feel what you feel. you really have to look at yourself. pretty hard to decide. this soon as vicki and sil learned the identity of the man who raped and murdered their daughter vicki wanted to know more. i want it i want to know why i want to stand what he did why was this going forward like that what was going on where was his background with that you have to talk to his mother and i can't stand how he

was located troy graves mother and gave her a call we're on the phone together for many many hours in tears just tear sobbing with each other i said but i want just to understand what you are going there i want to share with what i'm going through and maybe we can help each other and learn from each other and just come to some kind of peace with all this because god you must be going through a terrible time to wash your son and you know and she says oh this is schieber i murdered your daughter. mother blamed herself for her son's actions. and i said i don't think what he when he said she said it got more and more violent and i. and my kids would come to me and it say please money lets go of this is a bad danny's bet i was telling them i can't i don't have a job i don't have you know an education i can't support you oh my god how can i be

angry. vicki began meeting with inmates on death row. she discovered a system of victims on all sides we can just hear stands like mom and dad now that you know about the system the terrible flaws the bias the racial the geographic bias of cost cost issues they don't get the lawyers just all that i can or not you know what you can to do upon. they began advocating across the country and quickly found that many people thought all victims wanted the death penalty. they say that the reason we have to keep the death penalty here is because that's what murder victims' families want that's going to give them peace that's going to give them justice and we come in and say. not quite and we've been through this and this isn't the way he looks chopper you guys. are and.

so you have to you have to learn to live with this hole in your heart. either we can continue to do well on it and kind of well up the misery and sustain that misery that. that we incurred because of what was going on are we can we can try and force things to change to the extent we can they countered their grief by sharing their story and providing testimony that would influence death penalty legislation. losing a loved one to murder is a tragedy on imaginable proportions this all happened to her testimony helped maryland become the eighteenth state to repeal capital punishment i've told my daughter story now twenty two different states and i have seen the tremendous effect of this whole system on murder victims' family members. in an ongoing tribute to the memory of their daughter vicki and still continue their efforts to

end the death penalty. in boston nearly three weeks had passed since our nail was found guilty but the federal jury had yet to make a decision about whether he should be put to death. karen went to the courthouse nearly every day. over the course of the trial she had become one of the main spokespersons in media contacts for the survivors. but for now there was nothing to do but wait. for me to suddenly a text from a clerk inside alerted her that the jury was close to a decision. they're going to be coming out of it starting any time now i would prefer it be you know in the death penalty just because i think that's a fair thing the right thing. is awful if that is. i think it's the just

thing that's what i'm hoping. and we are coming on the air because the jury deciding the fate of boston marathon bombers are hard and i have has reached. the verdict. they have sentenced him to death. news of the verdict traveled fast that you know that there's a long road ahead but right now it feels like we can take a breath and thank you. actually breathe again you know without even realizing all the crap. once the bird came and like now we can start here no point. with son lives fate sealed karin began the long drive home. i don't think it evens the score i don't think that it teaches anybody anything. i don't

believe that it's going to be a deterrent to the next young man who has anger but i just think that there's nothing no other choice in my mind that is fair. after seventeen years and sixty two executions jerry's time as executioner came to an abrupt end. in the midst of preparing for another execution he was subpoenaed by a grand jury and accused of money laundering gerry claimed he was innocent but the court found him guilty. the sunday after his sentencing gerry's long held secret about his role as executioner became public. they printed in a paper they said

a man to carry out execution orders for this data but ginia was found guilty once i was out i mean i'm exposed so i gotta come forward i got a camel why is this in the truth about this here. why don't you know all because i didn't know you and i want you to have to go through what happened go through. while gerry served his time he learned that earl washington received a full pardon and after seventeen years was finally released from prison about four percent of the guys that have executed and they stuck out that they were innocent so in an apple or earls case you know a place down here to find out that innocent people were there on death row. after serving his time jerry worked hard to rebuild his life. he began speaking out against the death penalty one of the few executioners to do

so we need to do that we need to change and i didn't enjoy killing people so what can we do to prevent these things from happening jerry thought often about washington. if i ever get to see him i want to say oh you know i'm sorry i'm glad that things didn't go to way there was plan to go and i'm glad to see you on a side because i can apologize to you at that take your life you know after i had biden that's it. i'm glad i didn't get a chance to hit so i apologize to the name thanking the way i thought she was guilty. jerry decided to visit europe to talk with him face to face.

though it had been many years jerry and earl swapped stories and quickly we discovered a shared custody. lyneham one day i was mad and i was in a fog. i want to ritual for i was wearing st ok that's what it led to you you know i won the woodwork don't you know went through your mind not doing it he was innocent oh mama get it all were you bought it raise your blood get me through the kitchen just. this is a good thing that i didn't give it you know because i'll bring it to wed he didn't do anything wrong. one also isn't something that i would have to face. but to see him crossing that bridge into medium another this is a good deal. in that. you don't know because you want

my shoe.

yeah i don't know i don't know what was the last night that you went on the

internet no i'm not using these village is it safe to go. are you sure there is no actual music tirzah there and they are all going to be showed that the baby does a glove to his sort of. we're going to go a little far. there's a debt as part of the second biggest. risk . free risk yes they are being false forms in a very close family member of the society. let's have. a play for many flips over the years so i know the game inside guides. football

isn't only about what happens on the pitch put a funnel school it's about the passion from the fans it's the age of the super money just kill the narrowness and spending to get to the twenty million and one fly a. book it's an experience like nothing else want to because i want to share what i think from what i know about the beautiful game greats of will transfer. and thinks this minute. please. please let me leave the.

close. with a last minute. victory. i . could decide who will make it to the playoffs. the u.s. and south korea say they will joint military drills. for

an invasion. of course your latest world cup football action right here on r.t.e. international welcome to the program. day five of the tournament saw england beating to near zero in volgograd for their victory was far from straightforward soaking lived until the ninety five minutes are sealed when they're headed by captain hurricanes paving the day at the r.t. team was joined by star co-host peter schmeichel and manchester united boss george

your money in your keeping an eye on the game and mondays are the match. maybe watching the first half they have sweden south korea nil nil who's got the upper hand you think. i think this is even. better stuff from south korea and always throwing a. song sometimes on the left but most of the on the right being really interesting. and faster incisions is really powerful and fast. and so that was a swedish one and i have to say probably. for the tournaments until now is for the reaction at this stage no no no not at all but i just feel that one game

one can win it for both sides and i see if they score should be or has to be in a contract like situation. sweden to score must must be a situation for me that starts with the cross and probably hands with them with the head only the second ball in the box ok well we'll keep our eye on it. moving on england the final game tonight in a different group england has the players has a tactical system if you play against and. inferior team creates them problems because you project the two full backs almost as a winger and you bring people to the inside and in between the lines even when they used to call it the pockets. so i thinking of it as more than enough to win it. to news you know that for friendlies and i know friendlies are for in this they do in

portugal they lost in spain. we. mean if eighty seven eighty eight so i think the kind of african team with a newbie in touch lots of players being in europe they have a culture of and also played that technique mentally they are strong. i am not so sure that is going to be an easy a match to. have similar sorts of problems today tonight regard to like england against an easier yeah but uneasy as it appears and for them i guess and with regard to the belgian city they have we are of keep getting told the golden generation of players how far can they go in this town and potentially what a lasting one will the new generation. i don't know maybe thirty years ago or so. but after a period. of a little bit of of shuttles now they have not the team they have

a squads they have of us explored all the players think the leagues in the world in the past lives in the world lots of experience at the club level champ it is the premier of the all the fears playing at the top and the solutions are immense to look even to the players that were not selected and they are good players a team that leaves. out of the think history must be an amazing sports and to say in england i could say other names that. shelton there was a place. i need be.

i feel very very happy for the england boys because if they hadn't got there the next couple of days would have been terrible for them they would have been crucified by this as the british media and i'm not sure that they go completely free because the second half was awful one of the things that of course we've seen in this world cup are the big guns not quite doing it and women did it they labored to a two one win but that got three points on the board cannot be said for argentina can't be said for brazil a lot of other teams so when you put them in the context it's a good win it's a very good win because at the end of the day it's all about the three points and. one man who did do what he was on the field to do was hurricane off tottenham harry kane is in the right spot he's understands how you you know how this situation developing and he's in the exactly that spot because he is that good very impressive very impressive with very impressed with. enormous responsibility on his

shoulders to not only score the goals but also lead the team and he's not saying no easy by the way here behind me here on the drums are starting and then one their game volgograd peter all of our is done there for us peter just when we thought it was over a last minute winner how delighted i mean funds where you are relief which is i think as we can now see the happiness people are very very pleased certainly england fans very pleased with that when it's reflected in the this. things we're seeing here in belgrade the largest body of england's fund the loudest crowd of english fans who's right behind that goal and it's behind that goal we're hurricane school that went on in that ninety minutes i was told don't bring your phone because they'll tuck into you i mean you've heard everything. i would say to people to go and find out for yourself you know the politicians we

let them get on the do what they could to take their agendas and i just want to come watch football report this festival of football off it russia at the moment for want to see an opening at the city's first ale house and really one will feel good on them is doing well this was a game they knew what they were going to win many of the england fans i think they felt they deserved to win it. nods can we go to you i even found yeah there we go what's it been like hope you found the i was going to hear nothing. how to show we decided to come we came in and we just found people to be super friendly a lot of challenges that were hyped up in the press haven't happened and yet which is good so we continue to go all in because good win tonight and what you see what we get on sunday ice great you know aggression and england france france yeah it's a day where we are you know it's it's football brand new stadium fantastic atmosphere fantastic people focus right to say to today's events have been very

impressive very large very vocal they will be a group to watch through this tournament the attitude of their funds who i think has been absolutely brilliant while it being here when we do want to are really very sort of thought to be there to los mark know hopefully the second game hopefully the second game professional it is i'm sure best of luck to you when you have before the game that being that british media reports other media reports about a plague of flies in volgograd which had threatened to this from the game for players and also found to like how bad was the during the day absolutely horrific. during the day horrible i was swarmed with them i went for a run this morning and when i washed up when i went in the shower afterwards i think i washed about two or three thousand of them out of my head they died out in the evening thankfully i don't think they played any part in the game but during the daytime games in boulder they could well be so little watch out.

donna paid not say that's the game in the bag next time paloma get expected to win but then it's all about belgian because belgium didn't start the best but they came out on top quite easily in the end panama not the best team have to set aside a few times. belgium they did what i had to do today they beat them three nil yeah . looks comfortable at the end but they they didn't play well but then again you're my one of the dark horses one of the the maybe favorites to win this tournament people in general think that they have a fantastic squad just don't know belgium have never won a world cup are they in the team at. may break that duck and i actually add to that list of of the streets winners have won the world cup are they good enough to go all the way if you look if you go through the list of players they have all you see you stop just every single player.
