became one of the biggest pieces of evidence we had to know because this was the police with the video of the key one who did it all being interviewed by the police when he was 1st and telling the story completely different than what he told. and so this is trying to prove that prosecutors tempered with evidence and that handled this case. they withheld evidence. the witnesses reported they were bullied into saying certain things, certain things. and then we started hearing this independently, independently with the same story. it all came into focus. the jury was
7:38 pm
misled by the district attorneys, and there was no fair trial. why was the prosecution in seeking the death penalty? when considering the evidence in the car, he would have certainly been sentenced to life in texas, especially to win elections. you have to be seen as being someone strong and someone strong on crime is important. and so if you have a judge that lets criminals loose or criminals, when the opponents will come in and say, this judge is weak on crime and they lose that card. he's sentenced to death in a border for the prosecutors to win an election. no, no. the ones that admitted doing this, the ones that had mid putting your in the truck, the ones today admitted leaving her in the trunk for 8 hours in the texas heat.

7:45 pm
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 the 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 separated from the rest of the prison population. they

7:47 pm
these photos. and we try to send as many as possible the boys as many cards as they possibly can. so they write letters to keep in contact dated on what's going on, family gossip. and if you grandchildren, 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 you think all the time all the time, mother's day was always pretty difficult.
7:48 pm
one 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, all 23 hours of the day. nonstop and the one hour that she gets to come out of this hole all
7:49 pm
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 sane? because how long can you maintain being by yourself? for year after year after year with no one to talk to. where does your sanity 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 of only 30000 people is
7:50 pm
a mixture of newcomers and vigilante groups trying to prevent migrants crossing the border. was responsible for the biggest slaughter in the region. led by 42 year old, 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 an a k 47 or a r 15. you really shouldn't go out to places where there's drug smugglers and not carry along. you made something seana for his organization was in the nationalist militia which claim to fight cartels at the
7:51 pm
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 an extremely dangerous area. matter of fact, so dangerous that i'm ready to bring over the border. but i don't have the numbers are all i have one gun on me and i'm not going to be responsible for not getting people trying to in 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 and we will win this war. there's a shot of for a minute, an american defense. elaine wallace,
7:52 pm
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. 'd 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 not shot in the head like the daughter and the husband were shannon ford was never positively identified by the surviving with this. so there were definitely 2 men 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,
7:53 pm
but she couldn't describe them. resign your florists. 9 and her father role. florence died on the spot with a bullet in the head. 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 mention think they shot them the way they were. they shot them in the head in the head. though they're the people who are there that shot him, the cover 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 a man who was injured in the leg. you can clearly hear the voice of the woman on
7:54 pm
the recording. a voice that could belong to shawna forde. are you ok? how many people were there? i don't know. like males are talking there with a male and the woman. ok. the woman but it, he look like me making these just coming into our news for he was really 3 people have been arrested in connection with a deadly home invasion. after a highly publicized trial, he was sentenced to death for the double homicide. despite the fact that gina gonzales, the only survivor was never able to formally identify her, nor to say exactly how many killers were in the house. chris ackerley sana for
7:55 pm
his lawyer. believe there is no evidence that his client was present at the scene of the kind which he claims proves shawn affords 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 gonzalez, she was uncertain if it was one woman in her house or 2 with. because the woman who was initially there went outside and a few minutes later, a woman came in who was dressed completely differently and had her hair done completely differently. and she identified her as being a heavy set short one with blondish brown hair. now we can prove
7:56 pm
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. now, 20 minutes after the homicides occurred. this weapon was found in the forest front yard. this is also 357 handgun, with a finger and intuitions. i believe that shawna forde was not present when these homicides occurred. she was she is simply wasn't there. this is also what shawna forde has been claiming since she was arrested. we requested an interview with death row inmates are not allowed interviews in arizona
7:57 pm
7:58 pm
the dares thinks we dare to ask on election night. you may know whether the margin for the winner is so large that it is impossible for the defeated candidate to catch up. so there may still be 10000 votes to count, but the margin is 80000 votes and it doesn't matter if all 10000 votes went for the defeated candidate, they cannot possibly catch up and that's where we are today. joe biden's margin is so large in all of the states that are being contested, that even though some other states have not finished county, they still don't know who won. and joe biden won a majority of the electoral college votes
7:59 pm
as well as in the bull, but i'm pleased to show you big city, bright lights, cute joke, but you know, jeans and mini dangerous liveries that the blatantly to do. it's also a city where up to $300000.00 clones are committed every year for the last, when they built the new mosque, it's filled to the reserve least one police officer, every 200 residents in russia's capital cost on now wish i didn't. but then it occurred to i will not go after listening to the muslims who would have to last.
