12:43 am
it's a job that is very thankless and it's not very popular. and i know how many hours he's. not be there. when there's an execution it's toxic i worry about him i support the important job that he's doing and i know he puts his whole heart and soul into it and. i don't know that i want him in a rest of our lives. because of the stress and the toll that it takes on him and us. so i honestly i if tomorrow it could be abolished in ohio that would be the best thing possible because then he would have to choose it would just be taken away.

12:45 am
became absolutely convinced beings innocent four hours of work on the case. if you read the autopsy report and you knew right away that what damon confessed to was completely false. have an alibi it was. search for her when she turned up. when. she wasn't there. because. i was looking for for thirty six hours. i just lay down and go to sleep. and they wanted to ask me some questions about krystal. at first i thought it was just a routine. your relationship like yourself or. you. when
12:46 am
jefferson parish deputies made the discovery it turned out the man they would accuse of a crime was already being questioned by detectives were all there in. the. news. indeed clichy use all the reed technique it's designed to elicit a confession but he won't in any way do you need. that oh. there's a holy. they're allowed to manipulate you threaten you. i was told i failed a polygraph my witnesses one for me he explained in detail how someone's executed there's no proof that anyone. can pick up.
12:47 am
after having no sleep for thirty six hours and getting a drug in for a nine hour interrogation like that it's a nightmare the police treat with. these. days and when you break you you'll tell them whatever they want here. and i would have told anything you want to because there were. six. why. why. why i couldn't i just keep telling them look i didn't do it i didn't do it i was their target and that was it you know they found an easy target and they got it.
12:48 am
you know nobody's ever apologized. and nobody's ever recognize the wrong that was done. is. nobody knows unless you've been through it yourself trust me and death penalty case is a lot different than just a regular murder case i'm well i've learned that i mean it's year after year after year going through different appeals why put a family through the suffering of having to have to relive that for the next twenty years or fifty years old twenty years from now or be seven am i not even be alive i might not even be alive to see justice served for my daughter.
12:49 am
sarah says washee appreciates the state's hard work in going for the worst possible punishment she just wants everything to be over. after a court hearing in february the prosecutor and the defense attorney walked up to us and said that. was wanting to put all four on the table to where he would change a cli of not guilty to guilty for life in prison no eligibility of karole. they flat out told us we would have one more court hearing it would be done over with when we walked out that's it. if they take his offer that he put on the table we won't have to go through all the appeals he would spend the rest of his life in prison without parole. i mean i want justice.
12:50 am
served he committed the crime he committed the murder he needs to suffer the consequences but i don't feel like killing him is just not going to bring my daughter back. i just want them to take the offer. so we can try to move on with our life. condemned to problematic hell or has just hours left to live the execution is making national headlines not wire will be put to death by a combination of drugs and never before used in the us for this purpose or this new drug combination was originally designed as a backup for. which ohio has used them so now.
12:51 am
this is not the. execution. this. time was. not. convicted killer dennis mcguire spent the final moments of his life gasping for breath as the state of ohio for the first time used an untried two drug method of lethal injection he reportedly gas then snorted during the twenty six minutes it took the drugs to kill them. it was the longest at six two executions were stunned the boy was kind of a rattling. there was. no
12:52 am
a couple times he definitely choking. at this point it is entirely premature to consider this an execution protocol to be anything other than a failed. experiment by the state of ohio the people of the state of ohio should be . and what was done here today in their name. simply believe because that's exactly what. i don't know what this means going forward maybe the governor is rightly appalled
12:53 am
at what just happened decides that he's going to start a reprieve. or commuting sentences or you know i don't know. the only failure is you as a lawyer want to buy is a saw so you should perish the same way typical lawyer. loto know people pretty straight and blows down in an opinion when i can stand up and want to say that you're all reacting and the results are in the experiment was a fail and i think we're talking about exactly what we argued dennis mcguire was going to suffocate to death and that that was going to be terrifying and horrifying for him to experience. they need terror of watching let it suffer less the more nineteen the. know what cruel and unusual punishment is with this is nearly every
12:54 am
choice sr says she knows her sister suffered terror in pain and she was raped sodomized choked and killed by dennis mcguire she says he was treated more humanely today than her sister was treated and it was time for him to face his judgement you're going to people that are going to stay so long given the death it should be famous. you shouldn't have to go that way should it be. tortured to death. did you ever actually consider getting to do this you have to. you have to come face to face with your own mortality. and for me it was. facing the fact that one day they may come take me to lay me on a table stick a needle in my own. shut down my organs when i want. you know i've survived my first year done quite a bit i'm told. trying to for twenty three hours
