1:34 am

1:35 am
oh the man right there in the center of your 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 rather 23. if i had just gone off and done something else. like that running turn right every day for 15 years every day that's what i would think about. that account. for the problem i point out for ever the fault of our father mr.
1:36 am
they came. in. and questioned him. and after that. he never came. to the. oldest daughter under the. believe. the. parent anguished cry his 14 year old daughter even brutally murdered if that reality isn't horrible enough the family. 22 year old.
1:37 am
they walked into the court and made it sound like i just walked into this. believed someone would never confessed to. the stairs to the street straight out of. and it's time for you to present it
1:38 am
even to the state. on this average to see them on the rare. that they. are anything can happen anyway here are 848 at 200 can. cause. them pain. because he said they're just mining smile and like it ain't nothing we all
1:39 am
slop it all all saints do you think when i 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 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 they do same league 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 philosophy. you know i've been doing this long time i think my 1st death penalty case. 1988 people ever been
1:40 am
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 to. as the state of ohio prepare to use. 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 hunger acquires 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 try to move he's going to try to clear the obstruction let me see yours is one of the things that i don't remember if there's a strap across that. you should be able to see the muscles tense in you know you
1:41 am
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 or. 6 now for. want to keep their savings if. they confiscation of the government or the vatican. with their. jurisdiction that respects the sovereignty as an individual and respect. don't live
1:42 am
in a country that's just going to rip you off blindly. paradise with a round into a round the experimentation field cultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major irritants there's no question otherwise why would the chemical company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments that often in you have many of these people one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental research going on in hawaii whether these companies feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power.
1:43 am
it's a job that. lasts and it's not very popular. and i know 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 and soul into it and. i don't know that i want him in. our lives. because of the stress of the toll that it takes on him and. so i honestly i if tomorrow it could be. that would be the best thing possible because then he would have to choose it would just be taken away.
1:44 am
he's. 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 immediate focus is. 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.
1:45 am
i became absolutely convinced beings innocent 4 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. because he seemed to have an alibi he was helping crystal harris search for her when she turned up friday night. when. she was in bed with it was because he was. the one doing the wins. i was looking for for 36 hours. i just laid down to go to sleep and
1:46 am
detectors knocked on my door said they wanted to ask 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 been questioned by detectives were there. any. news. indeed clichy use all the reed technique it's designed to elicit a confession that he will in any way to aid. and abet oh. there's a holy. they're allowed to manipulate you knew. i was told i failed a polygraph my witnesses one for me he explained in detail how someone's executed
1:47 am
there's no proof. 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 chief with. these. days when you break you you'll tell them whatever they want here. and i would have told anything you want to because there were. 6. if you a. clue .
1:48 am
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've learned that i mean it's year after year after
1:49 am
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 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 wanting to put all 4 on the table to where he would change a plea 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
1:50 am
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. and condemned to problematic hell or has just hours left to lead the execution is
1:51 am
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. this is not an. execution. this. time was. not. convicted killer dennis mcguire spent the final moments of his life gasping for
1:52 am
breath as the state of ohio for the 1st time used an untried 2 drug method of lethal injection he reportedly gas and 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.
1:53 am
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 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 their own. channel want to get your own reality and the results are in the experiment was
1:54 am
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 it's over was that more 19 the. know what cruel and unusual punishment is when 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 judgment you're going to people that are going to stay so long given the 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 the difference you have to. you have to come face to face with your own mortality. and for me it was. facing
1:55 am
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. lose control of things. is 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 bloodiest prison in the country i had visits from my family maybe 5 times in the 15 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 3 hours when. you sit there in wait to die. after having only been out for just over
1:56 am
a year sometimes feel like the mad hatter and wonder you know. it's still very much a dream to me at times. and it's. a 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. for their own backs or dead. or if you were so. to argue. with them because the people. just.
1:57 am
let if you did. this and move on because we've. been eliminated give me shit oh my bush before. god sits with. me though he. this girl who in the. distance in the pool and her ministers in the news. you know world of big partisan lot and conspiracy it's time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that mainstream media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bad and
1:58 am
shouting past each other it's time for critical thinking it's time to fight for the middle for the troops the time is now we're watching closely watching the hawks. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy confrontation let it be an arms race on offense clearing dramatic development the only mostly i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. thank you we had. 3540 years old. charles in the water.
1:59 am
some 30 fisherman later and it's not. understood. that he's going to want to help me i suffocate and i thought my feet hurt the machine. i believe that this is the lung power of the therapy is. absurd to really harsh things that happen in life. we. you. know we.
2:00 am
had over. 10 minutes to spare that's how close the u.s. came to a direct military confrontation with iran president says he can seem to strike on the islamic republic just before it was jim to be. said i want to know something before you go how many people will be killed came back said sure approximately 150 and i didn't like. a lesson in the life of scottish student kindness he was greeted active class for all of you either a only. thanks.
