i want to bring in the attorney and counsel for clayton lockett, susanna gattoni.ou believe this is an opportunity to save your client's life? >> well, his conviction has been upheld in various appeals, and the role is that when and if he is executed it is not done in violation of the 8th amendment which prohibits cruel and unusual punishment, and that the secrecy in texas and other states is changed so that we understand how it is that we are executing people. >> and a big part of that is pharmacies and not knowing where the drugs are coming from, and we have talked about this extensively before on this program. a lot of the pharmaceutical companies that are either based or have the operations in europe where the eu does not allow capital punishment, and i think that you know what some of the pushback is on the other side when you talk to the heads of some of the departments of corrections in texas for example, he says, look, people like these pharmaceutical companies have been threatened and threatened with physical harm, and this secrecy is necessary, and what d

i'm not clayton lockett. i can't answer that. can, and he's dead now. >> this doctor testified on behalf of inmate david mcguire earlier this year before his execution. there's at least a substantial risk an inmate such as mcguire will be aware of and experience air hunger as the drugs take effect. thank you so much for being here. i want to start by asking you what is air hunger? >> air hunger is a simple inability to take a breath. imagine when you get hit in the stomach and you can't catch your breath. that's air hunger. but for someone like mcguire or say a severe asthmatic, they don't know that will go away, so it brings around a terror. one of the worst terrors that we know that can happen to man. >> you testified prior to the mcguire execution as part of the attempt to stay it. afterwards the state of ohio actually changed the dosage. in your view is that an admission that there was something wrong with the drug cocktail that was used? >> it is hard for me to say. certainly it is an admission that what they had initially u
