mr. bucklew's death was taped and then that was made public or leaked. >> well, obviously a court could controlulation of the tape and say who may have it or who may not if it's done for a particular case. but we're not talking about hanging, you know, in the public square or anything like that. we're talking about a very extreme act committed in our name often on people who have either mental defects or in my client's case physical problems and i just think the public has a need and, frankly, a right to see what is being done in their name. my client has a severe and lifelong condition that causes the entire right side of his head and his neck and throat to be filled with unstable vascular tumors and the truth is that the state can't say for certain what is going to happen if he's executed tomorrow. those tumors are very unstable in his throat. they are friable. it means they rupture easily. they bleed if they're touched. >> cheryl pilate attorney for russell bucklew. i imagine the next 24 hours will inintense. thanks for taking time to help us understand what you're doing. thank you. >> thank

mr. bucklew's condition was extremely reckless and extremely risky and really demonstrates why secrecy can a terrible thing when the government is carrying out one of its most grave and important acts. >> help people to understand who find trouble, frankly, when they look at the nature of the crime not just of your client but of other clients and we've seen a series of these happen since oklahoma. the other folks who have filed and been successful in filing for a stay, help them to understand what your argument is because to an awful lot of people, a majority of americans who still support the death penalty, this is justice denied. >> we believe that the majority of americans it actually is not fully informed about all of the aspects of the death penalty, and a great deal about executions is wrapped in secrecy. in fact, we believe the execution itself is a stage-managed production in which the act of executing someone is deceptively sanitized, that the actors, of course, are kept off stage where no one can see them with the exception of the person being executed. there is a great deal that
