she nearly took the life of her 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. when i was a child small seemed wrong long haul just don't all. the bulk of you get to stamp out just a bunch of cunts to educate and engage. the trail. when so many find themselves worlds apart. just to look for common ground in the.

what politicians do such as little. to put themselves on the laws to get accepted or rejected. so when you want to be president one should more somehow want to be rich. what's it like to be close to see what the forecast tree in the morning can be good good. i'm interested falls in the waters of loutish. the bush should. try to cut costs. difficulty. coming up and facing. him in the.

nasi will either be useful resource for me to look into this. none of them i know. that i am not like i let. go of this to get it started. and then a lot of what i think about. what i'm look at him as are a lot of us up the money into the magazine i'm about in the. head of the long long long i left my one moment. to say sitting. there will go places is a long. haul metaphors are being made. for them in the form of golf course on. how much yeah he.

says. 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 or niamh since the arraignment. inside the court room karin and the other survivors were seated just twenty feet away he refused to look at them. the defense team would make the case that so cars are nihilists 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 and 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. karen'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. as 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 what you have to talk to his mother i can't stand who he was located troy graves mother and gave her a call we're we were on the phone together for many many hours in tears just tear sobbing with each other i said but 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 to a terrible time to wash yourself you know and she says oh this is shimmer i. blamed herself for her son's actions and i said i don't think and when he when he said she said it got more and more violent and i. and my kids would come to me and it's 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. vickie began meeting with inmates on death row. she discovered a system of victims on all sides we could just hear she and say mom and dad now that you know about the system the terrible flaws in 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 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 their way if you lose chop or you die. hard 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 or we can we can try and force things to change 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 it's 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 in 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 nails 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. suddenly a text from a clerk inside alerted her that the jury was close to a decision. they're going to be coming out with it starting any time now i would prefer it be you know with the death penalty just because i think that's the fair thing the right thing. is awful if that is. i think it's the just thing that's what i'm hoping. that we are coming on the air because the jury deciding the fate of boston marathon bombers are hard and i have had reached a verdict. they have sentenced him to death. news of the verdict traveled fast

that you know that they're still 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 it holding his breath and once the bird came in it was like now we can start here no point. knaves 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'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 the paper they said a man to carry out execution orders for this data but ginia was found guilty once and was out i mean i'm exposed so i gotta come forward i got a camel why is this in the truth about this fair. why me know all because i didn't see you i don't want you to have to go through what happened go to. 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 doubt 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 but i'm glad that things didn't go away and 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 at that i pad biden that's it. i'm glad i didn't get it test it so i apologize to the name thank in a way i thought she was guilty. jerry decided to visit 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 that's all you know one day i was a member and i was in a fight. i want to ritual follow soaring through ok that's what it looked each

year you know i won the woodwork going to 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 outing at a wedding he didn't do anything wrong. and also isn't something that i would have to face. but to see him crossing that bridge in to meet him and hug this is a bit of. a myth. you don't know because you're much too.

lol. you. didn't have enough everything to do it. it was a levels from somewhere you know. i came back to the community and people we are based on the you know the road look at me all you got is all five or ten. miles.

away. she. says you know when you don't think that any of us old enough. but if you don't. know you're going to this. but also i am not happy my life. i see my own have to die. join me every thursday on the alec simon show and i'll be speaking to us of the world of politics sports business i'm show business i'll see you then.

finally an adult woman also if it can get up early now has a blip on the album keep the point about. wanting to feel you have you would it be that easy to find a friend that i had in the. past is that going to see much of the city people who move. but i've done my duty by my little bit of a wonder that i little bit that we are shocked at that a bit of money could be no doubt much of the way for the mob not to get it but it. exists in london like blues. some forces of the. sea. you going to look old.

and out right now but i wonder how i don't know that i'm not out of luck though the cutting out of the lot of the money did a little at a time. this was a good time to. try to move. son settle up again i've had it long enough why not there again why extending it the old people we believe this of the obedient. little of my kids i live out the bubble so johnny borrell the moment i taught a mother how do a lot of kids or is it a little odd i'm a little one. it may be only looking at the appeal by john mara to put out a lot of money are you or the world or mother blogger their.

facebook has banned hundreds of pages groups and their counseling to iran and russia for quote coordinated in authentic behavior including alleged political meddling. sometimes the presidency is now looking increasingly for carriers after to do for my associates were found guilty of numerous federal crimes. and we speak to a good city girl who escaped sexual enslavement by islamic states but then left germany after meeting her i still kept her and rapist is there.

a warm welcome you're watching the weekly here on r.t. international all the latest headlines on the stories that have shaped the week. but first facebook's upping the ante and it's crusade against fake news it's gone another banning spree in a bid to stamp out the phenomenon and thereby limit efforts to sway public opinion political opinion if you're trying to explains. thanks for joining us millie but franco with your latest news in the world of social media facebook and twitter have gotten rid of suspicious accounts doing fakes and propaganda from iran the troll factories not only after the minds of the americans but users all over the world it's claimed to be run by iran's government media. not us at this by. some of them through. facebook already enables users to check if they've been exposed to russian vaults and trolls how many trolls does it take to incite i've

evolution scores of so-called russian bots took over twitter and facebook well this facebook slash twitter online police rate is an actual news story this week yeah you can take plenty of the earlier reports replace the word russia with iran and get pretty much identical stuff all right speaking of facebook this time it banned six hundred twenty five pages traced to iran and an unknown number of pages linked to russia it just wouldn't work if russia didn't get mentioned and the reason for this verdict is we removed multiple pages groups and accounts for coordinated in authentic behavior on facebook and instagram what kind of sin is this in authentic behavior let's hear from zuck speak will they use similar tactics by creating networks of accounts to mislead others about who they were and what they

were doing we ban this kind of behavior because we want people to be able to trust the connections they make on facebook the issue of trusting what pops out at you from the internet it's almost as old as i am. ask her where we should meet. it seems like you're chatting with somebody just like yourself not only even if they show a picture of themselves it may not really be who they say they are it could be somebody dangerous i'm not trying to say criminals who take advantage of online platforms shouldn't be banned or prosecuted but dear facebook the way the internet and social networks have worked for years is that users can be who they want to be online who said they must stick to what someone thinks is authentic behavior what if i want to be an elf or santa or a real news hound and i'm now going to be blamed for an authentic behavior and get

a red card sooner or later i. universe i come to the us just for all the things they can do i say because of all the things they can well looks like online platforms will force us to adjust to a new reality where a step away from your genuine behavior may lead to a ban or some distinguished fact checkers will tell you who you should or shouldn't trust so next when he choose to complain about a post online think twice what if the fact checkers disagree in fact whatever you do they're better think twice meanwhile there's concern over facebook's latest told to attack or fake news which will involve evaluating uses based on how trustworthy

they are online it's in addition to the science existing efforts to stem the spread of misinformation the the idea is to protect users from those who indiscriminately flag up fake news is real and vice versa the system will even be used to predict. which articles need fact checking based on that user's history of posting stories despite facebook boosting its efforts to get rid of fake news there are still a few big questions about this latest method like which uses or which countries will be a part of the new fake news initiative it's also not known how the evaluations will affect individual users on the site or how the process will be monitored is put facebook in the media firing line but the social media giant insists it's not as bad as it sounds we developed a process to protect against people indiscriminately flagging news is fake and attempting to game the system the reason we do this is to make sure that our fight

against misinformation is as effective as possible the c.e.o. of online privacy company crypto hip hip crypto hippi outlines the ethical implications of facebook's policies i think it's political pressure i think it really comes down to that they are putting themselves in the position of mediating human relationships which is first of all a very unhealthy thing to do and it's something that they really are grossly. incompetent to do the users primarily will not know what is being done to them and they will be manipulated or sorts of ways we don't know what kind of. talk of donald trump's possible impeachment took center stage in the u.s. media this week amid a scandal over two of his former associates. he be impeached with this i think the beginning has to be set and mark right now and wolf we're in

a watergate moment but there is i think a lot for the president to fear the discussion about impeachment comes off the trumps x. campaign chairman poor man if it was found guilty of numerous fraud charges and his ex lawyer michael cohen pleaded guilty to presidential campaign finance violations allegedly paying hush money to trump's mistresses it's landed the u.s. president in hope water as cohen has implicated him as the orchestration of the scheme but president the democrats are desperately keen to rake up as much muck as possible in the midterm elections or there's muck. all that muck you can and much as possible so the general public will be influenced by this in the run up through the november elections a special counsel probe was initially launched to investigate alleged collusion with russia but this so far only exposed fraud and election campaign violations

take the right here in which we got to hope the company where is the closure you know they're still looking for closure where is the closure finds a delusion the fact that they haven't come up with anything that proves there is no russian collusion or they've wasted two years to find fairly pedestrian violations sure if you went into any of the campaigns including hillary clinton's and spent two years with an investigation team in the grand juries i'm sure you'd find a lot more than this filings and maybe some violations of campaign finance laws. back to michael cohen now legal fees equal big costs a former lawyer has also put donations to cover his defense and it's paying off too he's raised more than one hundred fifty thousand dollars in just three days as kalam open reports it's not always bad business to be dismissed by the president

and donald trump was a host on the reality t.v. show the apprentice he really took the show's iconic catchphrase to heart you're fired you're fired you're fired. now that donald trump is the president getting fired by him isn't exactly a career setback take the case of michael cohen this is michael collins lawyer urging people to support michael cohen with an online fundraiser for hoping that he will get some help from the american people so we can continue to be the audience isn't it they don't know if they are ready to donate some people might be laughing but that is slowing and there's peter strock that just grazed former f.b.i. agent who sent two truck messages to his mistress now he's raising money online he's already raised four hundred forty three thousand dollars half a million dollars on a go fund me just for hating donald trump has cancer patients on that side that are like hey we hate him too can you pay for my treatments i know you already hate him

we could tell and then there's andrew mccabe the f.b.i. director who was fired without benefits now mccain has already managed to raise five hundred thirty nine thousand dollars this issue of him raising some money in order to pursue this you know that's one issue it's an absolute core issue it's it's something that you know doesn't reflect good character and if you want to get more creative than crowdfunding you can always write a book i'm rosa manigault newman's new book unhinged tells stories from inside the white house thirty four thousand copies were sold within the first ten days and before on the rose it was james komi the fired f.b.i. director now he wrote a book about donald trump and within the first week six hundred thousand copies flew off the shelf writing books about donald trump is a smart move.
