central time this evening in atmore, alabama, derrick o'neal mason was executed and no network shiftedverage of the event or even bothered to report it. no coast to coast expressions of outrage. there was no argument over derrick o'neal's guilt or innocence. he confessed and was found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the execution-style shooting of a convenience store clerk in the store that mason was in the process of robbing. before shooting 25-year-old angela cagle in the face twice, derrick o'neal mason forced her to take off all of her clothes. how am i doing on eliciting your sympathy for derrick o'neal mason? how about outrage over the death penalty? i know what you're thinking, you're thinking he's not the case to use to build outrage over the death penalty. nor is the case of lawrence russell brewer who was executed at 6:21 p.m. central time yesterday in huntsville, texas. he was found guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of the 1998 hate crime murder of 49-year-old james bird jr. lawrence, russell brewer and two is had friends chained bird to the back of a pickup truck and dro

the judge who sentenced derrick mason to die lobbied against the execution. the judge saying that he actually ruled incorrectly in the case and mr. mason should not be killed by the state. although there is that controversy over mr. mason's sentence, there is no basic question about derrick mason's guilt. today the state of georgia, about half a day after they killed troy davis, set their next execution date on october 5th for marcus ray johnson for a murder he committed in 1994. marcus ray johnson contends that he had bad legal representation in the trial that got him the death penalty. but here, again, there's no basic question about his guilt. is the justice of the death penalty fundamentally about the goodness or badness of the person who is to be killed? is it about their guilt or innocence? or is it an intrinsic question about whether or not the governments that we build for ourselves are governments that should kill prisoners? to the extent that killing prisoners is one of the jobs we ask of state government employees, it's not an abstract thing. it is

that is ball, lunging in front of derrick mason, third and eight. >> cris: wow. no help over the top for him. he brakes on ball and very nearly has that one. he had no help. if mason ran a double move, he would have beat him by 15 yards. he says i don't care. i'm taking my shot. >> al: third and eight. >> cris: he's trying to buy you more time to help your field goal kicker. >> al:en that intended for burress. what do you do? if you miss the field goal dallas gets the ball and back to the 40 yard line. you're asking folk to kick the 49 or auto-yard field goal with 32 second. >> cris: he can certainly do that. he was over auto50 yards. >> al: on other side, dallas will have a little time left. 60 yarder. against the cowboys who come in and give the jets their first lead. >> cris: i'm asking how proprietor this feels for nick folk. he had a little bad stretch with the cowboys. >> it looked outside right, didn't it? or hook? >> opening night, new york city on the anniversary of 9/11. the jets so honored to be the team chosen to play in this game instead of the giant

if you're outraged at troy davis's execution but weren't bothered by derrick o'neal mason's executione russell brewer last night, then you're sure, you are absolutely sure to find yourself outraged and protesting another execution. maybe not for another year or two. but surely another one will come along where you're convinced that the condemned man or woman is actually innocent or at least had a grocery unfair trial that leaves any reasonable person with reasonable doubt about the guilt of the person to be executed. if you save your outrage for that execution, if that's the next one you're going to protest, then you will probably have troy davis deja vu. the time to fight that next unjust execution that's going to happen in the next year or two is right now. ♪ ♪ [ dog barks ] [ birds chirping ] ♪ [ mechanical breathing ] [ engine turns over ] ♪ [ male announcer ] the all-new volkswagen passat. a new force in the midsize category. ♪ your core competency is...competency. and you...rent from national. because only national lets you choose any car in the aisle...and go. you can even take
