yes. i see i did a lot about. it with. nineteen seventy eight. to ninety nine and i i said better to execute. i perform sixty two acts as another seventeen years.

for that recommend the death penalty engineering and judge if they had to perform the execution i think that they will. light a different story on given a definite a do anyway. the united states is the last country in the developed west to execute criminals. about fifty percent of americans are for the death penalty and fifty percent against it. our capital punishment system is flawed this is not a matter of vengeance it's a matter of just that we believe serves as

a deterrent capital punishment is tainted by racial disparity having my father's killers executed did not bring me a sense of closure is it to restore society or is it an issue if you took a life should your life be taken for justice is about us as a society. nine hundred eighty two was my first execution. i was a correctional officer. one of my main jobs were to save the lives. so when it came down to execution i had to transform myself into a person that would take a life. jerry givens was appointed executioner in one thousand nine hundred seventy seven when the united states reinstated the death penalty. he grew up in the housing projects of richmond virginia. and remembers one tragic night at

a party. when i was a teenager i witness a young lady. shot to death by home i. want to. quote a young lady because. i was. told if. my being is that if a person take a life of about a person in that person's life should be taken and asked what i believe. jerry received training to operate the electric chair and later to administer lethal injections. he became chief executioner in one thousand nine hundred two. i would say my team members take pride in the work that preparations. getting this person brady plays mixed up in my prepare him just to see his kids for the last time and. a last kiss of his mother says to me is the wife or daughter.

with all of human you know in this is one human that had made a mistake. we had to carry out the orders. outside of this team of eight jerry told no one about his work as an executioner not even his wife. we would keep it a secret and i kept it a secret from my my family. since one thousand nine hundred seventy seven other executioners across the united states have put over a thousand four hundred sixty people to death it's a punishment the supposed to be reserved for the worst of the worst. it was a gorgeous day it was a beautiful morning we met some friends and lost and.

twenty three thousand runners and half a million spectators gathered for the boston marathon. karen brossard her husband and daughter which cheering a friend over the finish line. we were there for maybe ten or fifteen minutes all excited with the crowd watching everybody come through and suddenly it was this incredible loud. explosion. was. seven of us there six of us were injured. one of our friends lost both of my legs that. i knew that my husband was pretty badly injured. my daughter had

shrapnel from her. and i had trapped. the two blasts injured over two hundred sixty people killed three including krystal campbell. and eight year old martin richard. police pursued two brothers in a dramatic manhunt. six year old tamar alonzo meyer was killed in a shootout. a day later police captured the younger brother dzhokhar a life. over the next few months karen braun in their daughter like many of the bombing victims

had to undergo multiple surgeries. i want to try to not let this. i'm not going to let this prevent me from living the life that i want to live. i'm not going to be afraid. later that summer karen traveled from a home in new hampshire to boston for sinai of serene meant at the federal court. we were all seated together and he walked out he didn't look at any of us but his hand was obviously entered and my immediate response was i hope that her i hope it's possible. that was not like me. and the recognition of that about me was scared because that isn't who i am. have pled not guilty to all thirty counts

seventeen punishable by death. the federal prosecutor asked victims if the us should seek the death penalty. were i don't know i hear. i don't know. i don't know what justice is i got an e-mail. terrorist acts are rare much more common are the murders and other violent acts that happen every day across the united states. in philadelphia shannon schieber was finishing her first year of graduate school. she had been up studying it was early thursday morning before i would say it was friday morning. about two o'clock

in the morning she was prepared to go. the assailant who attacked her be pried open her sliding door. she screamed for help but she was being attacked. the next door neighbor heard that he called nine one one. but. he told him that he heard his neighbor ship scream for help and he heard like a choking he said. the police arrived within twenty minutes they knocked on the door but no one answered. the next day when shannon didn't show up for a lunch date with her brother sean he drove her apartment building. for lucy and it's neighbors came down and answered the door and sean said i'm trying to reach my

sister or i can't reach or. the guy just would pale they say oh my god i called the police last night they went running up the steps they broke open her door and she was laying naked on her bed. by the time we got voted off you go the police were swarming read the apartment building and they let us know immediately that she had been attacked and that she had been murdered. we were beginning to face the fact that part of us had died and i mean it hit us very quickly.

i just remember how prince that we'd be able to gather to get through this. that weekend they attended mass. when we got to the lord's prayer. say the lord's prayer out loud was a real confrontation. forgive us our trespasses as we preserve those who trespass against us i had to abandon. something i had been saying. often probably thoughtlessly thousands of times over my over my door. and if anyone would have asked us well what would you want to do if you if you ever found who did this i didn't i just why be so angry i want to i'd want him dead to maybe i don't know i never had this happen it was this so painful. eight days later buried their twenty three year old daughter.

we have no idea what safe is doing on vacation but she will be back on air in september. the response to the two thousand and eight crisis was that the global bankers got together they really architect of the global financial system to withstand a ten time the impact financial crisis in the future they did nothing however to undercut the ability for the bad actors the global banks to increase

their balance sheet from the leverage by ten times and now here we are in twenty eighteen and in fact now the balance sheet of these banks of the central banks is ten times more live. coverage of the opening up of a basic. in the. us we will either be useful so you will be talking to. a lot of them i know i'm going to let up because i love to get it why don't we just leave it be it started slow. but not a lot of it ended up come out i skid but i'm about the same as art when i was up the money into the magazine with. the long low public. money. decides to move. their lives who do want to move

a long way forward to be made by. the people who go bums of office on the go. live that. feel so. what does the side do when someone. it's a horrific act of violence. for centuries seeking justice was a community affair. and disproportionate blame fell on the poor mentally disabled and people of color. in the eight hundreds some capital offenses were targeted specifically at slaves establishing

a racial bias that continues today. executions reached a historic peak in the one nine hundred thirty s. averaging one hundred sixty seven per year but then in one thousand thirty six. a gruesome execution caught the attention of the media. on august fourteenth in owensboro kentucky rainy the thea was publicly hanging by a white sheriff's many thought but the oh was innocent. one new york times reporter wrote ten thousand white persons some jaring another's festive saw prayerful black men put to death today and davies county's piton gallus . the outcry over rainy bothy is hanging did not put an end to capital punishment instead it drove executions behind prison walls out of public view. state officials built death houses and

institutionalized the practice. it's a death by far it's a scripted death in the beginning it was hanging it was not only hanging but it was public and so you see the crowds come in and bring in a picnic lunch and celebrating then we move from hanging to the electric chair and then we began to hammer the horror stories that happened out of the electric chair . and then has been a move to lethal injection and lethal injection is likely going medicinal so that we'll just be putting them to sleep. but not everyone agrees. the idea that they should go out in an opiate haze that it should be a pleasant that is absolutely perverse. the debate about the death penalty has become increasingly polarized and politicized we want a system that they are we want

a system that respects the dignity of human beings the idea that we were executing innocent people was terrifying and there was just no way that we hadn't and that we were some people kill with an attitude so callous heinous sadistic that they have forfeited their right to live i believe in a turn of one and that is when we execute this person we know he will never kill again why is it that the death penalty really comes down to in many cases just where you live who your d.n.a. is we cannot recognize injustice when we see it at people not being treated fairly if people not getting a fair shot you can be critical of the death you can be critical of the idea that the government has the right to kill. and also hold compassion and concern for victims maybe in some books of justice the person for this act is serves to die but do we as

a society deserve to kill them. today capital punishment largely falls to the state in which the crime was committed. and laws and methods vary widely. most states use lethal injection. but some still use gas chambers. the electric chair. hanging. and firing squad. carrying out the death penalty is intrusted to specially trained guards like jerry givens. of the sixty two executions the jerries conducted thirty seven were by electrocution and twenty five by lethal injection. lethal injection is considered the more humane form but for jerry it made the job of killing another

person a lot tougher. when you talk about execution and electrocution is a button you push and washing push a button. the current flows in the car and the current comes out. and that's all i had to do was push a button. but when it come down to death by lethal injection you have seven to. a chemicals. you have four flushes and three deadly chemicals that is inserted into this man and my self as the execution i am at the end of each the rant i'm pushing the poison. down to tune into the body so i'm more attached to this person then it is pushing a button and release and then they let the current flow wide self. fifteen days

prior to an execution the condemned would be moved to the death chamber where gerry and his team worked. all nine of us were executions and reprotect a good excuse and that's what we was stood by. the preparation was mental as well as physical we practice and practice and practice prior to execution. each of us knew our jobs out sign it and we never allow ourselves to get that close to anyone you know we train for that we train this way you don't get that close to . the day of the execution twenty four hours prior to that we we have a caller deathwatch. a guy will act differently because he knew that this is the last everything. this is a sale when to condemn space. this is where the warden

greed is don't want this clergy person to sit with him. doing this course of the day to condemn is given a shower his last meal is less visitations. by six o'clock hour preparations in the stocks and to the inmate his place today. at home in new hampshire karen in her family were slowly recovering from their injuries. not some much for wasm physical abilities things like. especially for me my rose colored glasses you know. just the reality.

people are. different things are not the same. when even with one and i. are. working through things and i'm working through things. it had been six months since the bombing and karen had not yet seen her good friend celeste who was with them at the finish line and lost both her legs in the planning. initially i. i couldn't bring myself. to do that. because i felt. celeste and sixteen others lost limbs that day ron was one of the lucky ones

doctors were able to save his leg but the trauma and pain still lingered. we're going to have to work for a long time to get to burne new normal whatever that going to be. after months of deliberation attorney general eric holder announced the u.s. would seek the death penalty. the defense will argue that zocor was pressured into it by his older brother that he was a popular well liked college kid led astray. you know he's going to be held responsible and i agree and i and i am to believe that. but i also thank you. just can't stoop and.

karen son was the same age is no car. didn't seem like such a hard decision when it was abstract. you know i've got family and friends who are very religious and don't believe in it and that i have others who say. it's the right thing to do they're so sure. i don't know that it's right for me to make that decision to take someone else's life. in philadelphia shannon's killer was still on the loose the she worst pressed france or so but the police had none. it's just like you're in a coma you mean you're just like walking through something but you you don't know exactly how you're going to deal with them how am i ever ever going to get through

this. this is tremendous sense of loss and you know for some time i could visualize feeling they're walking through a door squawking in the house and walking through a door saying are daugherty dead she told me. she was so kind and generous and loving and helpful and she always would come to us and say mom dad i have to make a difference. there was a little mini thing she had a tremendous appetite for learning. everybody loved shannon everybody loved her she was looking straight away but over and over. in their grief vicki and sil turned to each other and reached out for support. this takes time and doesn't you know everybody goes down a different path at a different time line to this journey toward healing they begin attending support

meetings for families of murder victims. there they saw the devastating toll of sorrow and anger. the father of one of the murdered daughters we know well took his first drink and he never stopped for a year and she lost his job and marriage. but well just daughter was one of one hundred sixty six people killed in the timothy mcveigh bombing of oklahoma city. one night about a year later he woke up in the morning and he had this dream and his daughter julie was there telling him dad dad he murdered me are you going to let him murder whole family. also saw the high price people paid for putting their lives on hold as they waited for an execution. we start finding out what murder victims' families go through if you decide to say look i want that man executed it would take fifteen twenty years as much longer for it actually to happen and we just saw the effects

that this had on these family members we saw it destroying their lives. i've been saying the numbers mean something they matter the u.s. has over one trillion dollars in debt more than ten white collar crimes happen each day. eighty five percent of global wealth you long for the ultra rich eight point six percent market saw thirty percent lies last year some with four hundred to five hundred three per second per second and bitcoin rose to twenty thousand dollars.

china is building a two point one billion dollar a i industrial park but don't let the numbers overwhelm. the only numbers you need to remember is one one does not show you can afford to miss one can only. play. like that and i finally into the knowledge that it can get a little now has a little bit on talent to the point about. lining if any of you would it be that easy to find ten that out and me. plus is said i see much the same people whom pay to play but i thought it might have been my little bit of a lot of fun i've got out of it but it adds to the fact that i don't have money going to know about much of that away but some are not to get bought and played

today and one day it's fly list some boarded the plane. and. plane to see place you're going to play little league. the. lucky.

people. get. western media outlets warn of a civilian massacre as the syrian army gears up to retake. the same outlets that failed to mention the areas under the control of jihadist groups accused. with midterm elections looming in the us these countries warning of alleged external meddling not just by russia but now also by china with the trade war between beijing and washington in full swing. and the british and canadian governments accidentally exposed passwords and security plans online coming up we speak to the idealists who uncovered the arrow with a simple google search.
