dr. alt, thank you for dr. joining us in our coverage late last night, and thank you for coming back tonight. i really appreciate it, sir. >> yes, ma'am. >> as a warden and later as a commissioner of corrections in georgia you participated in several executions early in your career. you told us last night that you view executions as a form of premeditated -- premeditated killing, premeditated murder. what made you think about it that way? >> well, it's -- the policy book for execution's probably about an inch and a half thick. it is well scripted. there's a lot of rehearsals. i don't know of any other type of murder that is that premeditated or even scripted. everybody involved knows exactly what they're to do and exactly what's going to happen and how that individual's going to be killed. >> in this letter that you and a number of other retired corrections officials sent out yesterday you wrote about what you described as awful lifelong repercussions that come from participating in the execution of prisoners.
