11:43 pm
this a long time i think my first death penalty case was nine hundred eighty eight and none of those people ever been executed. that's the unfortunate thing in our system that it takes too long. i don't think there's enough focus on the victim's family you know in terms of closure. at some point death family deserves closure don't they. as the state of ohio prepared to use. lethal injection for the first time for dennis mcguire six accused in his attorneys argued this week that he would suffer from a condition known as air hunger mcguire's attorney unsuccessfully challenge the two drug protocol in federal court this week. he's going to start to obstruct right away looking for his head and coming up. there may be vomiting he's not going to agree he's we trying to movies we try to clear the
11:44 pm
obstruction let me see yours is one of the things that's been mentioned i don't remember if there's a strap across the head you should be able to see the muscles tense in that you know you release intensity really seem you know it's more than one doctor who thinks it's quite possible that he still could be alive that five minutes or. it's not. the only. way. to.
11:45 pm
join me every thursday i'll be all excited when sure when i'll be speaking to guest of the world of politics sports business i'm sure business i'll see that. it's a job that is very thankless and it's not very popular. and i know how many hours he said to not be very popular. 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 that's. i don't know that i want him in it for the rest of our lives.
11:46 pm
because of the stress of the toll that it takes on him and i guess. so i honestly i if tomorrow it could be abolished in ohio that would be the best thing possible because then he wouldn't have to choose it would just be taken away . just in ohio but all over the country. states that are just kind of. i don't know where the experiments on our clients the media focus is. if you're going to.
11:47 pm
make sure. when damon came out he spent the first five or six weeks living with my wife and me in minneapolis and went to work doing mail delivery in our office. we helped him deal with getting back on the grid he had no driver's license he had no idea other than the one from death row. group of people. i became absolutely convinced seems innocence four hours of work on the case. if you read the autopsy report and you knew right away that what damon has confessed to was completely false. not a news conference this afternoon. to have an alibi he
11:48 pm
was helping crystal harris search for her when she turned up friday night. when. she wasn't there it was because. i was looking for her thirty six hours. i just lay down and go to sleep and just try to knock on my door said they wanted to ask me questions about crystal. at first i thought it was just a routine thing. from your relationship like. earth. day when jefferson parish deputies made the discovery and it turned out the man they would accuse of already been. there in. the. news. indeed clichy use all the technique it's designed to elicit
11:49 pm
a confession that he will in any way to aid. and abet oh. there's a. they're allowed to manipulate you. and i was told i failed a polygraph my witnesses were for me he explained in detail how someone's executed there's no proof. after having no sleep for thirty six hours and me getting drug in for a nine hour interrogation like that it's a nightmare the police chief with. these. days when you break you you'll tell them whatever they want here. i would've told anything you want to tell. us.
11:50 pm
11:51 pm
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. 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
11:52 pm
and said that shames rhodes. was wanting to put all four on the table to where he would change a plea of not guilty to guilty for life in prison no eligibility of coral. they flat out told. 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 served he committed a crime he committed the murder he needs to suffer the consequences but i don't feel like killing him is that's not going to bring my daughter back.
11:53 pm
i just want them to take the offer. so we can try to move on with our life. can damage a problematic shell or has just hours left to lead 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 a doctor. tells us that the. execution. this.
11:54 pm
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 snorted during the twenty six minutes it took the drugs to kill them. it was the longest execution by lethal injection and u.s. history. long time witnesses to executions were stunned that the boy was kind of a rattling. there was. through his no a couple times he definitely choking. at this point it is entirely
11:55 pm
premature to consider this execution protocol to be anything other than a failed. as an experiment by the state of ohio the people of the state of ohio should be appalled and what was done here today in their name. believe because it's exactly what. i don't know what this means going forward maybe the governor is rightly appalled at what just happened and decides that he's going to start a reprieve. or commuting sentences or you know i don't know. and the
11:56 pm
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 their own in an opinion when you cannot point to your own reality 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 my date's over them or nineteen . know what cruel and unusual punishment is with this is nearly every choice sister says she knows her sister suffered terror in pain when 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
11:57 pm
going to people that are going to stay so long given the debt. it should be painless type of thing he said to go that way said to be tortured to death. did you ever actually consider it 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 to me 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. control things i guess. is everything's happened everything happens quickly. i spent fifteen years locked in a cell for twenty three hours a day in the what was once the bloody use prison in the country i had visits from
11:58 pm
my family maybe five times in the fifteen years i was there every day i would do the same thing it was the same monotonous thing wake up make coffee my bubble prepare for the day same thing saw sunshine three hours when. you sit there in wait to die. after having only been out for just over a year sometimes feel like the mad hatter and wonder you know. it's still very much a dream to me at times. i use. on many more exonerations is it going to take before we as a society. realize that. this is not working and we actually do something about it thank you.
11:59 pm
after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going to do next the ball different clubs on one hand it is logical to go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective i'm used to surprising. what else do you think. i'm going to talk about football not the or else you just think i was going to go. by the way what is that that.
