jones execution left scars on his lawyer steve preston. i think. steve still lives in the little town of norman near oklahoma city. specializing in final appeals of a condemned he has lost eleven of the men he has defended and succeeded in saving only two of them. and we hear so many people who support the death penalty say well as part of our system we have it well the only reason that we haven't is part of this of the system is because they went back to change it and they they support the system and it's wrong and they don't know why it's so they don't know first hand. or even second hand what. a horrible. process it is. i don't know when told one of their own family members has to go through it and then suddenly. they see everything wrong with. that case and others that i've done but sean's because i was pretty close to . destroyed my faith in the american legal system before doing death row cases i had the highest confidence in our courts in our law enforcement because i was a cop for ten years. and i practiced civil law and i worked in the cou

. >> lavigne preston, tenants together. thank you for your time and for looking through the stacks of material. i cannot believe this project has gotten this far. i cannot believe we are seriously considering it. imagine any other low-density area of the city, and imagine if we decided to carve out 152 acres and demolish all the single-family homes there because we need more density there, and we are going to bring transit there and increase tax revenues through that. you would vote 11-0 on the project. i hope you will on this one as well. anyone who proposed that would be left out of the city. we have not seen this since the fell more redevelopment. if you want president, it is the film more redevelopment, mass demolition with unenforceable promises of replacement housing. the prior speakers covered most of the specific eir issues. no consideration of a no- demolition alternative. it is mentioned in the eir, which then states this potential alternative was considered but not selected for analysis. regardless of what mr. ya
