7:38 am
they spent more than $4000000.00 trying to. hold. their 3. so this would have been the original police. became one of the biggest pieces of evidence we had in the. morning because this was the police report. the video of the. one who did it all being interviewed by the police when he was 1st and telling the story completely different than what he told it and so this. he's trying to prove that prosecutors tempered with evidence and. this case they withheld evidence in the witnesses reported how they were
7:39 am
bullied into saying certain things. certain things and we started hearing this independently independently with the same story. it all came into focus the jury was misled by the district attorneys and there was no fear why was the prosecution. considering the. life in texas especially. to win elections you have to be seen as being someone strong strong is important and so if you have a judge that. when the opponents will come in and say this judge is weak. and they lose. in the border for the
7:40 am
prosecutors to win elections. are the defendants on the no no the ones that admitted doing. the ones that admitted putting your in the truck the ones today admitted leaving her in the trunk for 8 hours in the texas heat. they all struck deals. that the d.a.'s went to them and told them you either testify this way or you'll get the death penalty. the men got sentences ranging from 15 to 45 years in prison. continues to deny any involvement her only hope is to get a new trial but all of her appeals have been systematically rejected. for 16 years she has been on death row in gainesville
7:41 am
a city lost in the countryside surrounded by 6 prisons for women. nearly 7700 detainees are locked up here among them 6 on death row. we were granted permission to meet lynda carter with a strict agreement with her lawyer not to speak about her case. a 60 minute interview with a woman considered to be one of the most dangerous in the united states. so. higher. alert in a hurry here. thank you for example to think of this fact to be how has your life here. up and down. and it depends on the status of appeal. because you could be quite euphoric at certain times and that all of us. in that. you know whenever you have
7:42 am
cases are you appeal is denied every time i talk about that i want to cry because it's difficult shouldering it's for me in particular if i had done the crime i would have accepted my fate but because i know that i'm not guilty it's hard it's hard dealing with it and i tried i tried to put it on the back but not think about it because i don't want to be another step to stick for the mental health. department. and i need to be able to stay strong so that in the process of having my investigators and my attorneys and my daughter and my friends helping me to clear my name that i won't become a burden for anyone for the rest of my life.
7:43 am
i would say we could have prevented. we weren't ready reasons because you know the problem use the companies. they want to make a profit so they don't make them if there is no virus to make them again so after sars want to disappear very quickly there is no incentive. i don't trust medical authority at all. and the reason for that is i had this horrible autoimmune disorder growing up and it turns out it was completely alleviated with very drastic dietary measures and i went to a number of doctors to discuss what happened to me and i was basically locked out like diet has nothing to do with autoimmune disorders so my suggestion to people who are health issues they can't figure out if they're going to be a matter. all professional and they've been going for 10 years and they're still on
7:44 am
the same place they should probably take it upon themselves to start testing things out testing out diet testing out exercise and trying to figure out things on their own. swarms of them so moving. to good use who was before. much of those who heard the preview or. seen him we will. we will. move. move. move shouldn't look beautiful i mean it's a good good. move just like most of his goals with a good few films good good good. good good issue also look what do you do soon you
7:45 am
will be if you show your story to me i should go. up the steps to take it to me to do it with the little one wished they'd say look it is it's. just testing understands this new movement they mashed on. this trip the president can please introduce more students. as we have produced produce this were to snoop to come up with a new a because that is the girls with you or your supporters to your shoes through shoes shouldn't feel you should cook door for the one who's doing business. or the times where you can't take it anymore. i have a daughter that i when you really love. truly love. it's this place is
7:46 am
enough of a burden for her. soul for me to try to commit suicide or to give up or anything. i feel as though i would fail my child she said she has 2 boys i have 2 grandsons and you have met one you know because we're not allowed to have visits with all kids because the state says that if you have a. crime against a child that you are not allowed to have the visits with even your old sadly. family members who are kids so no i don't get to see them other than pictures. talk into them on the fall every 90 days like all women on death row linda carter who has no physical contact with her family visits are always behind the bulletproof glass. these special inmates are
7:47 am
separated from the rest of the prison population. they are in total isolation locked in tiny cells. they are not allowed to have personal belongings or photos on the wall. awakened every morning at 3 their lives revolve around meals and inspections every 2 hours. alone 24 hours a day they are waiting to be executed. these imprisonment conditions are deemed inhumane by the prisoners families a mental and emotional torture that also affects their children and grandchildren. linda's daughter tries her best to maintain family ties with her mom whose life is on hold. it's a challenge to make her exist spiritually to her children to maintain a semblance of norm. this isn't their 1st christmas but this is one of their
7:48 am
christmas and of course my mom gets copies of all of these photos and we try to send as many as possible the boys try to send as many cards as they possibly can so . they write letters. to keep in contact. dated on what's going on family gossip and you go. who have never seen the grandmother that they hear about all the time and who will one day learn the truth about her crime. i usually have my mom with the newest announcement here anything that's new it's cool everything like that picture will be the one that got the news announcement next to it. but. yes. she's always included and the kids as you know
7:49 am
all the time. all the time mother's day was always pretty difficult there are a. lot of the questions what kind of questions with. the normal questions you know how soon they are doing was last time we talked to nana are we when are we going to be able to go. you know. how come we can't go. and the best we can do is to just explain it to them. these are the rules that they have set up and we can't change their. juval only has one picture of her mother taken by a guard from the other side of the visiting room with a jacket to hide her prisoners' clothes she's always alone contact with other death row prisoners is not allowed. she's in a cell. all day off 23 hours a day. the one hour that she
7:50 am
gets to come out of this hole. all by herself she still doesn't get to have interaction with everyone else she still by herself tell me that it's not punishment. tell me that it's not enough punishment. i'm worried about you know is she going to be same. because how long can you maintain being by yourself. for year after year after year with no one to talk to where does your stand if you go. not surprisingly many who are condemned to death. long before being executed. a place in the middle of the desert close to the mexican border. this community
7:51 am
of 30000 people is a mixture of newcomers. and vigilante groups who tried to prevent migrants crossing the border. when militia was responsible for the biggest slaughter in the region. led by 42 year olds. now sentenced to death for executing a mexican family suspected of trafficking drugs. her friend lane wallace has also educated her life to stop illegal immigrants and the united states. if you're going to go to a place where there's a lot of trafficking and stuff going on you're probably going to take set like in a 47 or an a r 15 you really shouldn't go out to places where there's drug smugglers and not carry along because i made something. seana for his
7:52 am
organization was a nationalist militia which claimed to fight cartels at the border. shawna forde was an early activists a regular on the media and television. she liked to praise the merits of her militant actions and she knew are of like the back of her hands and. there's an extremely dangerous area a matter of fact they were going for some time or even during the morning. but i don't have the numbers i have one gun on me. and i'm not going to be. we're not getting people trying to pin lawyers and doctors here ok we're getting the floor of the floor we know what we need to do to secure these borders we know what we need to do to secure the sovereignty of this nation and that's what we're going to do
7:53 am
and we will win this war that's a shot of for a minute an american defense. elaine wallace like other militia members doesn't believe shawna forde is a murderer. she thinks she was settling scores between opposing cartels and that she was the scapegoats for the murders. this is the house where the air of arkham massacre happened at about 12 45 am on a friday night. several intruders burst into that house they were supposedly pretending to be border patrol and were dressed as border patrol and they shot the husband they shot the wife and. they shot the 9 year old daughter the wife survived she was shot in the head like the daughter in the husband for. china ford was never positively identified by the surviving with this so there were definitely 2 men
7:54 am
there and one woman and there were additional parties as well she's didn't know if there was she said there might have been 4 or 5 people there but she couldn't describe the. floor as mine and her father role florence died on the spot with a bullet in the head the only survivor of the massacre gina gonzales mother shot in the leg she pretended to be dead during the shooting before calling for help. i don't know where you think. they shot them the way to where were they. in the head in the head there the people who were there that shot of. the other back there. on the phone the assailants who heard her came back inside the house to eliminate the only survivor to defend herself. picked up her husband's weapon and started firing
7:55 am
a man who was injured in the leg. you can clearly hear the voice of the woman on the recording a voice that could belong to shawna forde. how many people were there i don't know and it sounds like male they're talking there with a male and the. woman. ok now the woman what did he look like me. making these just coming into our news for you is really 3 people have. arrested in connection with a deadly home invasion. after a highly publicized trial shawna forde was sentenced to death for the double homicide despite the fact that gina gonzales the only survivor was never able
7:56 am
to formally identify her nor to say exactly how many killers were in the house. chris ackerley sana for his lawyer believe there is no evidence that his client was present at the scene of the kind. which he claims prove shauna for its innocence. we see a mysterious woman carrying a weapon similar to the one found at the scene of the kind. this woman's identity is still unknown today. in the 1st place gina gershon so as she was uncertain if it was one woman in her house or 2 with them because the woman who was initially there went outside and a few minutes later a woman came in who was dressed completely different man had a completely different life and she identified her is being a heavyset short one with blondish brown hair now we can prove.
7:57 am
that these photographs were taken the night before the flores homicides occurred the jury never saw those photographs looks to me like a short heavy set woman with blondish brown hair that is not shown up for we don't know who it is there is a shotgun there and $357.00 caliber revolver. you know 20 minutes after the homicides occurred this weapon. was found in the florist front yard this is also. 357 handgun with a finger and into. missions i believe that shawna forde was not present when these homicides occurred she was not present on the at the floors she simply wasn't there . this is also what shawna forde has been claiming since she was arrested we
