9:54 pm
i have been. and that became mother will no longer want me to go i'll go again you know my own away. working day and night joe and marie secured a rare stay of execution. marie was convinced that earl had been pressured into falsely confessing my work with mentally retarded defendants made me know that this was a what we would call a coerced confession whether it was or psychologically or what. did you kill that woman no. but you told the police that you did. it yes why did you tell the police that you did it. oh no no no no you understand then that you were being. accused of a murder. they didn't understand most. new d.n.a. tests proved earl was not the murderer he was moved off death row but he remained
9:55 pm
in prison for genial law at the time did not allow the introduction of new evidence . gerry heard little about what happened to earl his focus was on preparing for the next execution. one year after the boston marathon bombing a memorial service brought everyone together for the first time. when we walked. down the road to the site. ron and i and christie stopped at each site and said a prayer. a week later karen and ron united with survivors at the two thousand and fourteen boston marathon. they cheered their friend celeste in
9:56 pm
a symbolic run across the finish line. i am angry at what he did and when i see my friends and they struggle and i see other survivors. i don't want my decision to be based on how angry i get in those instances. that paul judge will tool announced the trial would be held in boston. and we have two choices we can either let him stay alive and have his interaction and have his joys. or put him to die. and have that be the end of it. they don't get to see their little boy playing baseball anymore or reading him a story at night and in this young man is in jail and he's reading stories that he
9:57 pm
likes he's got books available to him that he enjoys or he meets with his sisters and gets to see pictures of their children growing up and i just don't think it's fair that they have had their their joys taken away from them and he still is able to experience that. care and decided to attend the trial. i want to be there. just. in philadelphia nearly four years after vicki instils daughter shannon was murdered the police got a lead. in two thousand and one there's been a series of assaults started taking place in fort collins colorado they put out
9:58 pm
a report to police agencies all across the united states. so they sent from shannon's case to fort collins. was a was a the suspect was married and employed at an air force base. about eight o'clock that night twenty third day of april. two thousand and two this fellow and his wife walked into the police station and by midnight that night they had a full confession for the dozen different cases. the man they arrested was twenty nine year old troy graves philadelphia's elusive center city rapist graves was accused of multiple counts of sexual assault and one count of murder in the death of shannon. the prosecutor was district attorney lynn abraham. the prosecutor in the city of philadelphia who is known as a pretty deadly d.a.
9:59 pm
in other words she put more people on death row then any other prosecutor in pennsylvania and probably any a large number around the country. troy graves was found guilty and the district attorney wanted the death penalty but the she bers did not. it meant they would have to fight for the life of their daughter's killer we had said to each other and consulted with our very large families that what would we do if they ever caught a ball we would stick to our principles enough someone was going to want him put to death we were going to argue for a life without the possibility of parole. the district attorney voiced her disagreement and outrage. the district attorney there became very very upset she became very public with her and with her opinion and she said i don't care what the schieber said the death penalty was the appropriate sentence for their daughter's murder. why would they not want. for vicki in
10:00 pm
cill the answer was clear. we just can't let this anger this natural human anger and pain overwhelm us and make us so then full 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 her washington was not guilty. it had to be like fifteen or twenty executions at that girl was released from death row that i found out that he was he was innocent.
