we begin today show with a look at the chaos surrounding executions in the united states now that many of the drugs used for lethal injections are no longer available the execution of drugs scarcity stems from the receipt of manufacturers in europe and united states to look to the people to do. 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 scaling back to june third of two thousand and nine billy slater 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. that is where. all the attorneys for an ohio inmate scheduled to die through an experimental execution method say their client 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 feel be consciously aware of feeling like you. 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 said wait expecting a decision any time today. to. use the relief. it is. going to. find you know this mood. tonight. for your health care this is alan barnard from the federal defender's office. oh i bet it is. you all say what are you going to buy today you know not that i'm aware of i did. everything.

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 in twenty fifteen nearly forty percent of those cases were charged as. i. think. just. after spending fifteen years against president jefferson parish mayor and it's 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 attorneys are speaking right now in the seventh ward. you dream of it every day it's not just not the same as actually going through it it's. 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 think. free. damon 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 or wanting to write heads every day for fifteen years every day that's what i would think about. eleanor. hall. you know what the problem was for her at

the fall of a. star had come up yes i'm. a muslim. she went to the store and i went and then. they came. to take him in. and questioned him. and after that. he never came home. through every. day. for. them and him the oldest daughter under you we put you on bridge last night triangle and already believes email. will be. up. parent anguished cry his fourteen year old daughter eve dead brutally murdered

if that reality isn't horrible enough the family must now cope with the fact that a relative is to blame twenty two year old damon to. death after death to the cry. 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 needed to. and society as a whole believes that. but yet here i am.

no longer at. the stairs to the street straight faced two thousand and thirteen yes it's time for each of you is going to prison it is essential to the stage. on this last bridge to see if. you're. at. all.

are you ok. you will hear. from. the center just. smile and lie it ain't nothing we all slop it all all the things we do think we'll see something. it takes a lot out of me when i see him 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 to court so many times in the past few months i haven't even had time to really green over my daughter's death. and. you know 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 florals. 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 death family deserves closure don't they. as the state of ohio prepare to use drug method of lethal injection for the first time for dennis mcguire six accused and 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 coming up just as there may be vomit in he's not going to agree this we try to movies we try to clear the obstruction let me see zhorzh is one of the things that's been it i don't remember if there's a strap across that. you should be able to see the muscles tense in you know you release in terms of people you see you know it's one doctor who thinks it's quite possible that he still could be alive that five for. a time. my body told me that i belong with the boy but my thoughts my mind with that

along with the girls. still be of any particular. person. i was born a male had a sex change when i was thirty years old. i've now been living as a woman for twenty eight years and i fully recreate this. problem should have gone away from by now but they hadn't so these surgeries are nothing more than plastic surgery i've had several female to male friends and you look at it and you just go oh god you paid for that it's horrible nobody can change genders is impossible. is still luzhin it's a mental illness. this isn't one of my flesh or for my flesh she shall be called woman because she was taken out from a. so

what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy for them to you shouldn't let it be an arms race in this spearing dramatic development only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time to sit down and talk. even. if some. people as i live here don't do then. fine. leave them. we have other things in this world sounds like this is an e-mail for everyone why

do some people's also take our thing all the power just for themselves instead of. it's a job that is very thankless and it's not very popular. and i know how many hours he's. 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 it's. i don't know that i want him in

a rest of our lives. because of the stress of the toll that it takes on him and i guess. so i honestly if. that would be the best thing possible 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 they're experimenting on our clients the media focus is. you don't torture mike for it if you're going 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 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. not a news conference this afternoon sheriff harry lee said to but oh wasn't

a suspect at first because he seemed to have an alibi he was helping crystal harris search for her when she turned up nothing. she wasn't there it was all because she was if you let me look abroad he would do enough. i was looking for for thirty six hours. i just lay down to go to sleep and detectives knocked on my door said they wanted to ask me questions about crystal. at first i thought it was just a routine. relationship play and tell her. when jefferson parish deputies made the discovery and 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 of that read technique it's designed to elicit

a confession that he will in any way to aid. in that oh. there they. are 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. 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. will look at these. and when you break you you'll tell them whatever they want here. i would have

told anything they want to because there were. six he's. a. creep. why wasn't i 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. and 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 i have 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 and said that shames rhodes. was. wanting to put offer on the table to where he would change a plea 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 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. and condemned to problematic hell 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 suborbital which ohio has used and so now a doctor. tells us that the. execution. this.

time was. a. 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 the boy was kind of a rattling good. there was. through is no 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 begging. 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 not only 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 to sides and 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 is a saw so you should perish the same way typical lawyer. load up you pretty straight and blows out on. channel one of 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 one thousand the. know what cruel and unusual punishment is with this it 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 going to people that are going to stay so long given the death. it should be painless. you shouldn't have to go that way she had 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 come to me that it will stick and you'll. shut down my organs one by one. you know survive my first year done quite a bit i'm told trying to. lose control of things i guess. because 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 us prison in the country i had visits from 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 re 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. realise that. this is not working and we actually do something about it thank you.

we could only be dull sort of book you just made no go to sit with. sobers you don't. have to keep. playing in. the group and watch. the movie except you're then he says the pool. with the security. will and co. are going to produce
