we're learning new details about the killing of a metro p.c.s. employee who was murdered on the job this saturday evening police say they have the man who did it the sheriff's office says he goes by the nickname. 21 year old james rhodes is charged with the murder of 20 year old shelby farah. you. mean she's in the news right here with a chair in the wrist and with a 40 glock every bullet exiting. the

video shows her standing and then she collapsed to her knees she was reaching for the. she fought for over 20 minutes before she died. i think about that every day where she reaches for the. struggle to take even a few steps towards her daughter's vigil she says tonight the pain of shelby's loss is real. if it takes the last breath that he needs to give the death penalty. we begin today shoulder to look at the chaos surrounding executions in the united states now that many of the drugs use release the injections are no longer available the execution drugs scarcity stems from the receipt using. well

manufacturers in europe and united states to look to 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 is going back to june 3rd of 2009 really slagle he ended up committing suicide 3 days before the execution very midst on september 25th was executed wrong phillips was next on nov 14th 2013 he was. but his mother 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 1989 rape and murder of pregnant woman joy stewart. the state is planning to inject him with a 2 drug mix that's never been used in the next occasion before. we presented our case to the judge to stop the execution. we argue that dennis is going to essentially feel consciously aware of feeling like he is going to suffocate like he is suffocating because he is suffocating because of the way the drugs work. so now we sit and wait expecting a decision any time today. it

was the relief. it is. going to. find. tonight. right here right here this is alan barnard from the federal public defender as office i'm. busy sure. you all say what are you going to buy you know not that i'm aware of. everything else. for the 2nd 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 149 people falsely convicted

of crimes were freed in 2015 nearly 40 percent of those cases we charge and. think. it's just. after spending 15 years against president jefferson parish mayor and its 3 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 14 year old cousin his attorneys are speaking right now in the 7th ward. you dream of it every day it's not just 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 think only. 3.

damon. screen free today he spent 23 hours a day in solitary confinement during his 15 years at angola now 38 years old he went to jail when he was 23. if i had just gone off and done something else. running through my head every day for 15 years every day. it. was all. over the floor over. there. now when. they came.

to take him in. and question him. and after that. he never came home. every. night. believe. karen anguished cry the 14 year old daughter dead brutally murdered that reality is adorable enough the family now cope with the fact that a relative. 22 year old. cry.

what. they walked into the corridor and made it sound like i just walked into this interrogation room spilled my guts. i used to be one of those people who believes that someone would never confess to something they didn't do. and society as a whole believes that. but yet here i am here i sit. on the stairs tourist. case 2013 yes it's time for each of you going to prison if

he's going to ask you to take. her it's not pretty to see if you're seeing. the reverse or it is. the it. didn't. matter he would be hearing her even for a need. to keep.

he said they're just. smile and lie it ain't nothing we've all slop it all all it's do you think you see. 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 2 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 victims' families go 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 this and that is our falls. you know i've been doing this a long time i think my 1st death penalty case was 988 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 the new drug method of lethal injection for the 1st time for dennis mcguire 6 accused and his attorneys argued this week that he would suffer from a condition known as air hunger mcguire's attorney unsuccessfully challenge the 2 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 move he's going to try to clear the obstruction and he sees yours is one of the things that's been mentioned i don't remember if there's a strap. across that. you should be able to see the muscles tense and if you

release intensity releasing you know it's more than one doctor who thinks it's quite possible that he still could be alive that 5 minutes are. time. you spend 5 minutes with your worst enemy you will find something in common if you spend 2 minutes going 10 minutes you'll find even more so if you nurture those commonalities you are forging a relationship if you nurture the relationship you are then forging a friendship. we

had one man 3540 years old. destroyed in the water. some 30 fisherman well destroyed later it is not. understood. i'm going to move the whole thing i shouldn't take another man the most of my feet will stubborn and hurt the machine. i believe that this is one of the therapy you is. our child was absurd to really harsh things that happen in life. 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. i don't know that i want him in it for the rest of our lives. because of the stress of the toll that it takes on him and i asked. so i honestly if. that would be the best thing possible he would have to choose it would 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 1st 5 or 6 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 4 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 the wife and the suspect at 1st 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 look look at me when we would do in the us. i was looking for for 36 hours. i just laid down to go to sleep and detectors knocked on my door said they wanted to ask me questions about crystal. at 1st i thought it was just a routine. relationship like a shell or. 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 the technique it's designed to elicit a confession and he will in any way to aid. in that oh. there they. are allowed to manipulate you. i was told i failed a polygraph my witnesses one for me he explained in detail how someone is executed there is no proof. that. after having no sleep for 36 hours and me getting drug in for

a 9 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. 6 he's. a. creep. well. 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 easy target and

they got it. you know nobody's ever apologized. and nobody's ever recognize the wrong that 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've 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 20 years or 50 years old 20 years from now or be 7 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. morning to put offer on the table to where he would change a clique 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 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 backup for cancer which ohio has used and so now.

this is not an. 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 1st time used an untried to drug method of lethal injection he reportedly gas snorted during the 26 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. 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. the only failure is you as a lawyer want to buy is a saw so you should perish the same way typical lawyers. load up you pretty straight and blows out 100 years when i can and i want to get 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 suffer less than more

than 1000 in the. know what cruel and unusual punishment is with 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 judgment you're going to people that are going to say so will be put to death. it should be painless type of thing he said to go that way said to 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 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 1st year done quite a bit i'm told. trying to. control things. because everything's happened everything happens quickly. i spent 15 years locked in a cell for 23 hours a day in the what was once the bloody use prison in the country i had visits from my family maybe 5 times in the 15 years out 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 3 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. how 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. birdsall it has to go behind or to feel good but so. far good. to have it is that people. just showed you the initiative.

consumer i'm going to move. when i manage to finish it oh my gosh the moment is. god since we. need. to meet don't need. this kid or. don't learn. to. look at open system definition in. minnesota in the news and. just driving the trump administration's iran policy is confusing contradictory and incoherent would be an understatement as members of his administration beat the drums of war the president suddenly inject themselves into the conversation with words to the contrary what is the world thing.

we had one man 3540 years old. he lost his trials in the water. some 30 fisherman later in this never. understood. that either one of them to move ahead. and i thought my feet were stubborn and hurt the machine and. i believe that this is one part of the therapy is. a little charmer. absurd to really harsh things that happen in life.

that was was. my. us president donald trump says he called also a strike on iran at the last moment after he found out the number of possible casualties. and a government protests continue in georgia due to anger at the visit of a russian m.p. well thought about paris inbounds russian airlines from flying to the country in response to. a scottish student claims he was kicked out of class after saying there are only 2 genders he secretly filmed the teacher telling him all. you know what you think and i knew the sort of people thanks for your point if you can understand even clear very clear discrimination on the grounds.
