i'm going to make sure if it takes the last breath that he needs to get that. we begin today show with a look at the chaos surrounding executions in the united states now that many of the drugs use relief the injections are no longer available the execution drugs scarcity stems from the receipt of manufacturers in europe and united states to love to people to death. i think the job of defending. the most unpopular amongst our society is absolutely indispensable part of our society. all of my clients have already been tried convicted and sentenced to death in ohio state court system. basically every execution has been scheduled school went back to june third of two

thousand and nine. committing suicide three days before the execution very midst on twenty fifth was executed wrong phillips was next on nov fourteenth two thousand and thirteen. and. that is where. all the attorneys for an ohio inmate scheduled to die through an experimental execution method. will suffer a terrifying and agonizing death according to his lawyers the untested injection method it will not properly statement which will cause him to feel the pain of suffocation before he dies and his mcquire is on death row for the one nine hundred eighty nine rape and murder of pregnant woman joy stewart. the state is planning to inject him with a two drug mix that's never been used in an execution before. we presented our case to the judge to stop the execution. we argue that dennis is going to

essentially seal and be consciously aware of feeling like he is going to suffocate like he is suffocating because he is suffocating because of the way the two of us work. so now we sit and wait expecting a decision any time today. or use the relief. it is. going to. find you know as. tonight. right here. this is alan bernard from the federal budget centers office. oh i bet it is you say what you can buy today you know not that i'm aware of.

that. for the second year in a row a record number of people convicted of crimes have been exonerated in the united states according to a new report by the national registry of exonerations one hundred forty nine people falsely convicted of crimes were freed twenty fifteen nearly forty percent of those cases were charged as. a. c. c after spending fifty years in fraser the jefferson parish made its three d.n.a. evidence exonerated david to have it all who is on death row at angola serving a sentence for the rape and murder of his fourteen year old cousin his. tourney's

are speaking right now in the seventh ward. you dream of it every day it's not it's not the same as actually going through it it's. just a serial walk this. is not something you can prepare yourself because you've been living in those conditions for so long. i feel. free i. daymond to video the man right there in the center of your screen free today he spent twenty three hours a day in solitary confinement during his fifteen years at angola now thirty eight years old he went to jail when he was rather twenty three. if i had just gone off and done something else. like that running turn my head every day for fifteen years every day that's what i would think about.

now and. it's not. a problem i thought. at the fall at the oval. office. had come up yes i'm. a muslim. she went to the store and i went and that. they came. to take him in. and question him. and after that. he never came home. every. day you know. debbie down the i'm the oldest daughter under you would you mind bridge last night randall. doherty believes. that easily if there.

was. a parent anguished cry his fourteen year old daughter even dead brutally murdered if that reality isn't horrible enough the family must now cope with the fact that a relative to blame twenty two year old. african to the cry. when. they walked into the corridor and made it sound like i just walked into this interrogation room. i used to be one of those people who believed that someone would never confess to something they didn't do. and society as

a whole believes that. but yet here i am. no longer after. the stairs to the stage three days to two thousand and thirteen yes it's time for each of you is going to present to the essential aspects of the state. i'm exasperated to see if she. really is. at. all.

are you can. we hear. from can. you stand there and just. smile and like it ain't nothing we all slop because all things do you think we see something. that takes a lot out of me when i see you saw what happened today. and before the court hearings was a month apart or two months apart we was in court every week for months. we've been a court so many times in the past few months i haven't even had time to really

green over my daughter's death. you know than to say i'm only goes through a terrible ordeal and most of the time the victims' families they are very much in favor the death penalty. there are some people that because of what they did have given up the right to live among us and that is our flaws. you know i've been doing 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 victim's family you know in terms of closure. at some point definitely deserves closure don't they. as the state of ohio prepare to use a new two drug method of lethal injection for the first time for dennis mcguire six accused 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. what. he's going to start to obstruct right away looking for his head and coming up the two sides of you know there may be vomiting he's not going to agree he's we trying to movies we try to clear the 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 you know you release in time to be releasing you know it's more than one doctor who thinks it's quite possible that he still could be alive that five minutes for. a time. after the previous stage of my career was over everyone wondered what i was going

to do next that the ball different clubs on one hand it is the logical place to go from fields where everything is familiar on the other i wanted a new challenge and a fresh perspective and i'm used to surprising. what not and if you think. i'm going to talk about for. you know we're number one. in united states we all slow number one. how many before. most. people

you so incredibly well you got a weekend jump shot in order to escape. the law in a months although one. of them being so this is somebody that is at the root for. what i see and hear things. are see people who are afraid. of these guys purposes. and all they have to hold that is that. that's all they have borne for themselves through their white skin. it's a job that. lasts and it's not very. how

many hours. 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 into it and. i don't know but 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 if tomorrow it could be abolished that would be the best thing possible because then he would have to choose to just be taken away. not just in ohio but all over the country we've got states that are just kind of. i

don't know where the experimenting on our clients the media focus is. you don't torture mike for it if you're going to kill him. it's hard to make sure that 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. like myself. and

i became absolutely convinced beings innocent them for about 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. became a suspect i was. not a news conference this afternoon sheriff harry lee. is that the. earth because. he was helping chris search for her when she turned. and she wasn't there. because. i was looking for for thirty six hours. just lay down and go to sleep. and they wanted to ask questions about crystal. at first i thought it was just

a. relationship. or. a. jefferson parish. and. you. use. the technique it's designed to elicit a confession. all in a way. that oh. well they're there. to manipulate you. and i was told i failed my witnesses one for me he explained in detail executed.

after having no sleep for thirty six hours and. interrogation like that it's a nightmare you believe. you. when you break you tell them whatever they want here. anything you want to tell. you. why. why wasn't

a little stronger. why 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. you know nobody's ever apologized. nobody's ever recognize the wrong it was done. 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. 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 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 and said that change. 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 corowa. 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 served he committed a 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. can damage a problem or has just hours left to lead the execution is making national headlines and 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 back up for principle which ohio has used and so now. this is 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 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 good. there was. a couple times he definitely choking. at this point it is entirely 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.

simply 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 decides that he's going to start a reprieve. or commuting sentences or you know i don't know. and the only failure is you as a lawyer want to buy the 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 day so for more than eighteen the. know what cruel and unusual punishment is when this is nearly every joy 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 going to people that are going to stay so long given the debt. it should be painless type of thing you shouldn't have to go that way said to be tortured to death. did you ever actually consider it to do 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 the

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. 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 my family maybe five times in the fifteen years out there every day i would do the same thing it was the same monotonous thing wake up make coffee read my bible 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 a 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. sixteen that will. do no good. by the. philippine people should.

not fall. this is what. you said i let you sleep. i have to get out of. their families. they all. say yes. please. please get to all this is all the roof.

please please. please leave. the. league's. the maternity turns. go in and you may never get out of the most of. my teenage gang rules here. no one on the move.

but. navy will. call. you. minus. zero. in for the. me and melanie when. you. can use the i.c. .
