you can write i walked in to the cell and if you needed anything mangled or come see what you want that was earl the whole time he was on the road he was. scared timid. odd as they were for me my mom derrick and see the problems when three. mostly was that they had to see the mom or dad me. two weeks before earl's date of execution the guards came to transport him to the death house in richmond. a charity mob put him in a way saying handcuffs shackles and they walk him out. literally drug him out and meanwhile everybody's banging on the door for the casa guards. joe reached out to his caseworker marie deans to see if anything could be done.

i called mary in a panic as i was. i don't know if this guy did or not but i don't think you did i'll break this god knows what's going on when early arrived at the death house he was handed over to jerry i received their offer mecum bear and when he came in i gave a good training to the infirmary he was given a complete physical. at that time we only had. death by electrocution chair so he didn't have a choice. you could her you know how you had led to the one through to your home and they've been david all we got was the he said he was getting really from. dental. and that big a mother will allow want me to go i go again if you don't hang on 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 was mentally retarded defendants and i know that this was a what we would call a coerced confession whether it was course psychologically or some of them did you kill that woman knows. but you told the police that you did. 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. he didn't understand most. new d.n.a. tests proved earl was not the murderer he was moved off death row but he remained in prison virginia 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 and the morial 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 carolyn ron united with survivors at the two thousand and fourteen boston marathon. they cheered their friend celeste and 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 were they not one. for vicki in silt the answer was clear. we just can't let this anger this natural human anger and pain overwhelm us and make us so then schall and hateful because it would just over time destroy us and we knew that. vicki and sil received piles of hate mail the q. . zing 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 earl washington was not guilty. it had to be like fifteen to twenty executions at the girl was and it leads. to her going

to most just as the word of sympathy want to be gotten lost and then thrown out one of the last to sum this up but if many of them look for refuge in the so-called sentry sides the drifter used to share information about undocumented migrants with federal authorities how to best present mass than call mom. was needed more help i've ended up my son i got him in a lot of class and i wanted that. they had to watch as they all choose to stay in the country with donald trump in the white house for forty gobbles. schools fifty one fifty have to be about to be. a fifth it's double the many couples. to which the push to put impulse response both of you up with approval of the. you cannot operate as united nations this is not just one run but you n.d.p.

world health organization and in fact other international organizations like the international committee of the red cross you cannot work in a place like gaza without pragmatic cooperation with the local authorities which are hamas in this case here or has been for most of the last few years. 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 naive since the arraignment. inside the courtroom 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 zero cars are

najaf was unduly influenced by his older brother. the prosecutors would argue that he was fully responsible for his actions. many victims share 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 was 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 learn 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 wonder stan what he did why was this going forward like that what was going on where was

his background with that to talk to his mother and i can understand who he was vickie 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 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 just you know and she says oh this is schieber i. agree of some other blamed herself for her son's actions. and i said i don't think of what 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 let's 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. vicky begin meeting with inmates on death row. she discovered a system of victims on all sides we can 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 the ago not you know what you can do about it. 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. you loose 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 john to well up the misery and sustain that misery. that we incurred because of what was going on or 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 victim's 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 name 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. you mean suddenly a text from a clerk inside alerted her that the jury was close to a decision. they're going to be coming al of it starting any time now i would

it be you know and the death penalty just because i think that's a fair thing that right. as awful if that is. i think it's that the just thing that's what i hope. and we are coming on the air because the jury deciding the fate of boston marathon bombers are hard and i have has reached a verdict. they have sentenced him to death. news of the verdict traveled fast that you know that there is 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 you can hold your breath and once the bird came it was like now we can start here no point. with son lives fate sealed karen 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 that's nothing no other choice in my mind that is fair. after seventeen years and sixty two executions jerry's time is 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 jerry claimed he was innocent but the court found him guilty. the sunday after his sentencing jerry's long held secret about his role as

executioner became public. they printed in the paper you see the men that carry out execution orders for this data but ginia was found guilty once i was out i mean i'm expose so i gotta come forward i get them a why is this in the truth about this here. why i didn't 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 napa earle's case you know placed 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 in a way there was plan to go and i'm glad to see you on a side because i can apologize to you after that take your life you know after i pad 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 this era 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 mockingbird and i was in eighty five. i went to ritual for i was wearing st ok that's what it looked each year you know i won the world we're going to you know went through your mind not doing it he was innocent oh mamma he did the whole war yeah she's a bloody raise your blood get me through. just. this is a good thing that i didn't give it you know because i'll bring it to whether he didn't do anything wrong. and also isn't it something that i would had to face. but to see him crossing that bridge and to meet him in hollywood is that if you're

. in it. you don't know because you're my shoe.

this is crude oil here. so they hate to actually physically can't it out of breath he would have well well well well well well well well. a lot of money yourself and with that comes. a lot of a lot of people from all over the country. if you don't make a hundred thousand dollars a year. as a minimum there is an issue. here in india. they were told sixteen hours a day it's hard work for the workers not used to work and so they want to relieve their stress and how do they relieve their stress these men move back out like he's a man that comfort these many. people have been murdered up here people been raped there are massive drug issues up here you have a boom you have everything else that comes along with money.
