So earth. Day one Jefferson Parish deputies made the discovery it turned out the man they would accuse of a crime was already being questioned by detectives were there. News. Indeed clichy use all that reed technique its designed to elicit a confession and he will in any way do you need. That oh. Theres a. Theyre allowed to manipulate you. And i was told i failed a polygraph my witnesses one for me he explained in detail how someone is executed as no one. Can pick up. After having no sleep for 36 hours and getting drug in for a 9 hour interrogation like that its a nightmare the police chief with. These. Days when you break you youll tell them whatever they want here. And i would have told anything you want to tell. Us. Why wasnt a little stronger. And why i could not. Just keep telling them look i didnt do it i didnt do it i was their target and that was it you know they found an easy target and they got it. You know nobodys ever apologized again. And nobodys ever recognize the wrong it was done. Nobody knows unless youve been through it yourself trust me and Death Penalty case is a lot different than just a regular murder case ive learned that i mean its year after year after year going through different appeals why put a family through the suffering of having to have to relive that for the next 20 years or 50 years old 20 years from now or be 7 am i not even be alive i might not even be alive to see justice served for my daughter. Sarah says washee appreciates the states hard work in going for the worst possible punishment she just wants everything to be over. After a Court Hearing in february the prosecutor and the defense attorney walked up to us and said that change. Was wanting to put all 4 on the table to where he would change a cli of not guilty to guilty for life in prison no eligibility of karole. They flat out told us we would have one more Court Hearing it would be done over with when we walked out thats it. If they take his offer that he put on the table we wont have to go through all the appeals. He would spend the rest of his life in prison without parole. I mean i want justice served he committed the crime he committed the murder he needs to suffer the consequences but i dont feel like killing him is just not going to bring my daughter back. I just want them to take the offer. So we can try to move on with our life. Can damage a problem or has just hours left to lead the execution is making National Headlines not wire will be put to death by a combination of drugs and never before used in the us for this purpose or this new drug combination was originally designed as a backup for suborbital which ohio has used and so now. This is the. Execution. This. Time was. Not. Convicted killer Dennis Mcguire spent the final moments of his life gasping for breath as the state of ohio for the 1st time used an untried 2 drug method of lethal injection he reportedly gas snorted during the 26 minutes it took the drugs to kill them. It was the longest execution by lethal injection and u. S. History. Long time witnesses to executions were stunned that the boy was kind of a rattling good. There was. A couple times he definitely choking. At this point it is entirely premature to consider this execution protocol to be anything other than a failed begging. As an experiment by the state of ohio the people of the state of ohio should be appalled and what was done here today in their name. Simply not only believe because its exactly what. I dont know what this means Going Forward maybe the governor is rightly appalled at what just happened decides and hes going to start a reprieve. Or commuting sentences or you know i dont know. The only failure is you as a lawyer want to buy is a saw so you should perish the same way typical lawyer. Loto know people pretty straight and blows their own. Channel want to get your own reality and the results are in the experiment was a fail and i think were talking about exactly what we argued Dennis Mcguire was going to suffocate to death and that that was going to be terrifying and horrifying for him to experience. They need terror of watching my day suffer less than more 19. Know what cruel and unusual punishment is when this is nearly every choice sister says she knows her sister suffered terror in pain when she was raped sodomized choked and killed by Dennis Mcguire she says he was treated more humanely today than her sister was treated and it was time for him to face his judgement youre going to people that are going to stay so long given the debt. It should be painless type of thing he said and you go that way said to be tortured to death. Did you ever actually consider it to do you have to. You have to come face to face with your own mortality. And for me it was. Facing the fact that one day they may come to me lay me on the table stick a needle in my own. Shut down my organs when i want. You know ive survived my 1st year done quite a bit im told. Trying to. Control things i guess. Because everythings happened everything happens quickly. I spent 15 years locked in a cell for 23 hours a day in the what was once the bloody u. S. Prison in the country i had visits from my family maybe 5 times in the 15 years i was there every day i would do the same thing it was the same monotonous thing wake up make coffee my bubble prepare for the day same thing saw sunshine 3 hours when. You sit there in wait to die. After having only been out for just over a year sometimes feel like the mad hatter and wonder you know. Its still very much a dream to me at times. I use. On many more exonerations is it going to take before we as a society. Realize that. This is not working and we actually do something about it thank you. For. Joining me everything will be all excited and chill and ill be speaking to yes the world of politics all this im show business ill see of. Paradise with a round turned into a round the experimentation field but agricultural chemicals we know that these chemicals have consequences they are major here to. Yes theres no question otherwise why would that the Chemical Company workers themselves be geared up that suited up locals attempt to combat the on regulated experiments but often in day you have many of these people who have one foot into the biotech pharma and the other foot in the government regulatory bodies this kind of collusion is reprehensible while the battle goes on the chemicals continue to poison hawaii and its people so one has to ask the question whether there is a form of environmental racism going on in hawaii whether these Companies Feel they can get away with this because the people have less political power. In a world of big partisan threw things a lot and conspiracy its time to wake up to dig deeper to hit the stories that Mainstream Media refuses to tell more than ever we need to be smarter we need to stop slamming the door on the bath and shouting past each other its taught for Critical Thinking its time to fight for the middle for the truth the time is now for watching closely watching the hawks.
