Is Justice Served By Executing This Man?

- The Governor of Arkansas, Asa Hutchinson, has scheduled eight men to be put to death within ten days of each other. The reason for the unprecedented timetable is to use up the state's supply of a lethal injection drug called midazolam before it expires.

So he murdered someone, got a life sentence (max sentence aside from death), escaped and then killed more people!?! How is that someone who will learn their lesson?
Death penalty was the only punishment left in the book!
If he was truly sorry, he would accept the punishment with grace
It's amazing how some of the victims family members can forgive. That must take alot of soul searching
It's a wonderful thing to reach that level of forgiveness.
It’s the only way to move on
Boi u going to hell 😂
I forgave my rapist
BBC you should make these videos a little bit longer than 3 minuets,and excellent work!
ban al the full documentaries are on iPlayer, there's something like 6 hours on there
simslovabethie oh I didn’t know that,thanks!
pause
@@bethieandbooks I agree
You are a moron
Death s not a punishment , it is the escape of a punishment...
Sue F and your just gonna let them mess with everybody else's lives by costing hundreds of thousands of dollars to house them for the rest of their life. That takes away money from so many better things it could go to like education or public projects.
Sue F okay sue so if I kill you that's fine then cos you obviously seem to think that being in jail is worse than being dead 💀
henry hurst He's going to die eventually I'm just saying why let him off from the punishment of serving his time in prison before he dies.
Sue F to save those that haven't commited a crime money?
Grassy Tiger I know money factors into this but I'm looking at this from a punishment point of view , as I said just bumping him off makes me feel like the swine just gets off from serving a long boring tedious prison sentence to think long and hard at what he has done before he dies.
If you take a life...Be prepared to give YOUR life ...no excuses or 'do-overs'
1. Murder and attempted murder.
2. Escaped and killed 2 others.
3. Answer to your question.. yes
What he did was wrong but he had turned his life around he deserves a second chance and did not deserve to be executed
Thats bullshit, What About the innocent people he killed huh? They never gonna get a second chance. He deserves worst.
@@tiberiupopescu3526 yea but u cant legally convict someone of torture until death
@@Fernandodbsb Killing him is Murder too.
@@mohsinahmed5947 He was offered a second chance. He escaped and murdered 2 people.
Let’s be real, Kenneth Williams brutally executed 2 hostages from a robbery, managed to spare his life by getting a life sentence only to escape and murder another 2 people, im against the death penalty in most cases but certain people deserve death if not only to give so many family’s closure and imo Kenneth got what he deserved in a far more humane fashion to what he did to his innocent victims.
they have no remorse and when they face execution they beg for their worthless life
Forgiveness is the only closure there is. Unless you yearn, despise, Hate, and wait for death in return! But then does that heart and mindset not imbue you with a similar evil within that saturated their heart and soul! And to be clear I am indifferent to whether he lived or died
For some reason the govern rubs me the wrong way he just sitting up there like the devil on his throne smh
Death doesnt solve anything
Closure for the families.
Vancouver Island Waterjet exactly
Vancouver Island Waterjet But gives them a easy way out🤦🏾♂️
C6漢 What???
DecimalFiend022 You let them escape punishment without being punished
That was way too short ;(
I think the full episode is on iPlayer.
Death is the right ultimate punishment, don't allow your emotions affect your judgement. If criminals are allowed to commit murder and granting them freedom after they cry in the courtroom, That would be enogh incentive for more serial killers to continue their evil deeds
Your argument is illogical and has absolutely no basis in reality.
@Mark Lanton what a bullshit. Killing another man doesn't give them justice nor their loved one back. And if it turns out that that man is innocent afterwards, have fun as a family member... It's just the biggest BS law existing
Except the murder rate in the US is much higher than many other countries with no death penalty. It makes sense in your gut but it isn't grounded in true reality.
What if they were truly innocent? Is that truly justice to put someone in a tomb for 20years and then be executed. I dont have a moral problem with the death penalty. I have a problem with innocent people being executed. There have been hundreds of exoneration's and people that were found innocent after they were executed. God doesn't want vengeance, these quilty people have to stand before god which is ultimate justice.
@@carlousmagus5387 allowed to commit murder by whom?
The only problem I have with capital punishment is that often time a person's guilt is never fully established and I do belive that a lot of innocent people are put to death! That makes me sort of skeptical abt this form of justice, however, most people are guilty because of overwhelming evidence. I'm neutral regarding this controversy
Better to have a hundred guilty go free than even one innocent executed.
The mayor was smiling I’m so glad I got outta there
Same story..no father to guide him as a child..drug abuse in the home..no protection for him as a child!! When are you black men going to wake up and be there for your children? Sad cycle..
Ive been there since day one for mine just as my father did for me & his for him..sometimes people just turn out bad period...my home life was stable - sisters turned out fine I turned out ok , yet my brothers turned out shitty..ya never know
@@Coco-xw3wp yeah but it is way more common in black families sadly
@@auroraborealis675 actually nope half of black people don't go to prison.. only a small percentage so make sure it's the research before you be, need all this dumb stuff.
Toy Murillo you just stooped down to his level by being racist as well.ha, good job.
It’s not just black men wtf.. I’m white as a sheet and my dads the biggest deadbeat you’ve ever seen. It’s got nothing to do with race, and everything to do with the circumstances children are forced into.
Good job to the state of Arkansas for getting rid of demons
Midazolam can also make patients violent when used during an endoscopy or colonoscopy.
What an absolute monster.
Im against death penalty but escaping from prison and going on a killing spree. I would say the gentleman earned his punishment
I can't get over the fact that that governor was smiling the entire time. Like he enjoys this. I'm sorry, I don't care how awful somebody's crimes were or how deserving he may be of the death penalty, it still isn't something you ought to be smiling about.
Don’t speak on behalf the victims…. It’s disrespectful
If the perpetrator is truly, sincerely sorry for their crime after all these years in prison and the victim's family can see this/don't want the death sentence to happen, why is this being carried out?
He killed 4 people, out of them 4 people who obviously had 4 family’s just one family was willing to forgive and it was the family of the man he killed by accident in a car crash while fleeing from police, why don’t you ask the family of the girl he executed if they forgive him?
So giving him an easy way out is better than spending the rest of his life locked away in prison thinking everyday about what he's done?
+Lisa N Why do you want him to be punished, everyday, all his life though?
Lisa N I don’t agree with the death penalty in most cases, but he killed 4 people and ruined so many lives and to be fair when you’re in prison for ever there a lot of freedoms and luxury’s you can still have, visits from your family, education, TVs, recreation etc etc it may not compare to life on the outside but it’s still a life, people can still be happy in prison I know this because I’ve spent time in prison myself, all be it when I was younger and I have a totally different outlook on life these days but prison really isn’t as tough as the media portrays it to be.
Like I said before I’m against the death penalty because of how flawed it is but make no mistake some of these guys, serial killers, child murderer and rapists they deserve death in some cases that’s just my opinion.
because it isn't the victims/family VS. perpetrator(s), it's the STATE vs. Perpetrator(s). If the state didn't reserve the right to punish lawbreakers, we'd have a society of vigilantes. I'm on the fence about this. How easy would it be if word got around that X murdered your child........ the family of murdered child gets to get a family posse together and go murder their child, or kill the murderer?
THIS IS NO JUSTICE 😪
THIS! This is why I’m in such limbo about the death penalty. They committed an awful crime and get the death penalty. And after years on death row awaiting their death, they completely change. They become a different person. Most of these inmates had a vile upbringing and they don’t know any better when they commit the crime. So they go to prison where they have structure and guidance and they become the person they were meant to be. You see the potential in them and you see that they truly regret what they did. And that’s what makes it so hard and so so sad. Yes, Everyone makes mistakes! And we pay for those mistakes. They committed the ultimate mistake, and so they must pay the ultimate penalty. But damn…. You can’t help but feel bad for the person especially the ones who changed for the better. They are not the same person who committed the crime so long ago, but yet, they are. Ughhhh!!!! This is why I struggle with the death penalty. 🥺🥺
Gee, in prison they're kinda like a captive audience to change. They have all that time , and hardly any other choice, to change their lives. Who knows what else their victims might have accomplished had they lived!
You clearly have ZERO experience working in corrections. No, most of them absolutely do NOT change… the TINIEST percentage do.. but most do not.. and they DEFINITELY don’t become better in prison, they become more institutionalized… better at lying stealing manipulation
No
"Justice is mine, sayeth the Lord"....
But the Bible established human authorities over us. It's taking about personal revenge.
...Yes.
For me death will never be a solution
If everybody who was raised in a dysfunctional homestead turned out to be a monster, most of us would be stuck in our homes. It all boils down to choice, and one chooses which road they wanna perdue it has got nothing to do with their upbringing
Why is the lawyer laughing
Yes
What is the name of the music used in this Documentary, Thank you.
The governor looks like he could care less
EYE 4 AN EYE
You bet, one more criminal gone. Adios
Why is death the best option. Jail is to help the person learn their lesson and return to society
Get of drugs
This video hurt my heart I felt that guys pain. Death is not justice!
He doesn't feel bad because of he did he wouldn't try to get out of the punishment that's been given to him. Also why am I not surprised you didn't mention the victim, oh it's because you're a bleeding heart and always care about the monster and not the victim.
Fuck both of y'all. It doesn't matter what the guy did. Death is not justice if the government kills someone for what they did makes then just as corrupt as the one who committed the crime.
Tyler Lowe ya it is bleeding heart. They aren't killing him for fun.
It doesn't matter if they were doing it for fun or not. It is still wrong. Even tho this man killed someone in they own house with their own gun. The death penalty does not solve anything. . Just another hole left in the next family's heart. . . You are a product of where you grow up. He made a bad decision we are all human we are all people no one is perfect.
Tyler Lowe it does matter why they do it and you have proven to be a bleeding heart 100 percent. He's not the victim in any of this. He's the monster.
YES!!!
I’m sorry to him.
I personally don’t believe in death row/execution. I believe justice is served by being sentenced to life in prison. It is inhumane to execute an inmate that may show remorse or would do anything in their power to show that they are truly sorry for what they did. Death doesn’t solve anything, it just creates more problems.
What about the victims
Sometime they act like they have remorse but they really dont
He was serving a life sentence. Fat load of good that did
Death sentence is for those you don't believe can be rehabilitated
This is so hard to talk about, in any country, under all circunstances, i would love more insight in a new (longer, more complete) video.
Some people are so cruel, that they should die for their heinous crimes
0:01 I am responsible FHOR THIhIs
Like I said before, SO? We all have free will.
Yup.
I personally think that death is only justified when 3 conditions are met:
1. When the crime is inhumane, for e.g child molestation, senseless murders (like literally killing for the fun of it), acts of terror.
2. When there is unrefutable evidence (and I mean unrefutable) has been provided.
3. When there is zero remorse shown.
You don't want to die why kill somebody
Midazolam has a history of not working? Is he dead? Yes. It worked.
and the answer is ..........YES!
Who cares if he felt pain!!! Dude is a killer, eye for an eye baby!
Just give people life without parole, it's worse than death as you die in prison and it doesn't piss off people
2:40 voluntary/involuntary, know the difference.
the rest ?
I think victims families should have a say in this because they’re living a death sentence. I don’t believe in the death penalty but if someone knows it exists in their state and they go ahead and commit a crime like murder, they run the risk of being given the death penalty. I understand that childhood has a major bearing on negative adult behaviour so it should be considered but as human beings, to take the life of another person for any reason other than self defence, I struggle with that. It’s a difficult topic.
What about the victims
No offense to the guy who “gave his life to Christ” when he’s faced with death row. He shouldn’t be scared at all he’s going to heaven!
SiriSeriez oh damm u have a point!
They all are preachers
This is cruel and unusual
no tears from this corner...get rid of 'em ...A.S.A.P.
IMO I just don’t feel like prison is general is an effective way of punishment or to rehabilitate criminals. In MOST cases it has little to no effect and mainly causes psychological deterioration. I think as a whole the way to punish a human for a crime OR mistake they have made needs to be re-evaluated.
I love seeing them beg for mercy😂😂😂😂😂😂
Kasha Brown how can you be laughing. This is someone life .. no matter the circumstances it’s a life.
No rich man on death row....
if there was no death penalty then more bad people would kill without care
This is why if I ever have to have a gastroscope (I have trouble with acid reflux and someday they may want to look at my esophagus), I’m going to ask for a sedative other than midazolam to be used (perhaps propofol), because midazolam can also make hospital patients violent during sedation, and the last thing I want to do is involuntarily attack people who are trying to help me.
in the other hand, governments have to make some changes. Greenwood's widow is right that Willams is the first victim. It is a chain of violent reactions, but if we could avoid it in the first place.
And by the way the death penalty is not a deterrent
No sin is greater than another Jesus has forgiven him and will receive him with open arms in heaven
It's amazing how sadistic humans become when they've been wronged or feel like they've been wrong.
Not only do you say somebody needs to be killed, but you also want them to die in the brutal and torturous way possible... You're basically like Islamic extremists but with a different cause and no way to carry out your barbaric acts.
Cece Ruben I just don't understand how someone can derive pleasure from another person's death.
Weeb white knight located
Isis want to torture women for not wearing a burka and throw gay people off buildings, not the same thing at all
Yes. It IS. Goodbye to one of Kingkong's relatives.:D tee hee.
I have served 27 1/2 years in prison, straight. I'm not big on the death penalty but I don't like when admittedly guilty inmates plead for their lives. I understand their family's pleading for their lives to be spayed, but as the murderer, you don't have that right bcuz you didn't afford it to your victim
Which homicide/murder will bring closure to the executed's family?
Medazamam is a heavy duty sedative used in many surgeries worldwide daily. It works very well. The only issue is if the needle is inserted correctly , and this is an issue with all meds, The laws in the US STATE THAT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL CAN NOT ASSIST IN AN EXECUTION , so , you have no trained medical staff there to insert the needle into the correct point of the veins. If the whiners were the one on that gurney, they would be crying for professionals to insert the needles every time.
Let em go
Killing the repentant is as cruel as killing the inocent!!!!
SuperBike Racer no it's not. Hes guilty as fuck and if he felt bad for it he would accept any punishment instead of trying to weasel out of it.
mr finch, well just remember that you better never think your repentance on it's own is sufficient without a severely harsh punishment!
SuperBike Racer I won't.
Could be
I mean I don't wanna sound cold but it is justice. Eye for Eye Tooth for Tooth.
To foxy lady: death is a punishment that should be administered to who go around killing people and depriving them of the chance of living, using the excuse of coming from a dysfunctional home and family and being abused is no excuse for a person to go on a killing spree, so if the authorities see it fit to execute such a person then I'd say justice is served
Idk why they’re saying Versed doesn’t work, in my job we only give a max of 2.5mg while I believe these guys are getting upwards of 400mg. I’m certain that it’s going to work
We love Christ but we still kill a mofo quick I don’t under stand how
That he is already dead and the one in jail is a new guy??? right.... If they let him walk take him home with you.. Make sure your children built a great relationship with him...
I will never understand how u could do that job. To be a part of ending someone's life, I'd never sleep again!! Or I'd be on some pretty strong medication.
If you take a life. Your life is taken. Easy as that
Thank God I live in Australia. No guns, no death penalty, Medicare, compulsory voting/stable leadership, the metric system... etc. We have it sooo good.
The Governor is smiling whenever he speaks and it is so creepy and innapropriate given the subject matter.. What a creep.
Yes it is.
I agree the drug must make the person go from this world to an other world with no pain if possible.
If there is some pain, I don’t think it would be any greater than that he inflicted upon those people he admitted he killed and their relatives.
No one likes pain so spare it to everyone whenever you can.
Ouuuu yeeeeeeee
I wonder do the lawyers ever stop and think about, when they're arguing for their client, (who's on the row because they murdered someone), and they're trying to argue against the drugs being used, until then all of these horror stories,and the pain that could damn well feel, but can't say anything because their lungs are paralyzed, and them feeling like they're suffocating, and on fire at the same time, which is true, we have seen that has happened time and time again, however their lawyers, so they know that, we have never saw a case, that has won against this argument, or been commuted because of these drugs, so it's like, as a lawyer, Do You realize by wasting all this time, and telling the stories in front of your client, and then just to lose, that you're actually the one making it worse for them, because you're scaring the living shit out of them, at least if they don't know what to expect, it might go by just a little bit easier for them, because they don't know what does that, just like their victims did not know what to expect, so why it was absolutely horrific for their victims, I'm glad that at least they didn't go to bed knowing that some Maniac is going to break in tonight, rape me, and my daughter, and kill us both, and buy them put in an all of these last-minute appeals, knowing for flipping a well, that nothing is going to become of it, and they do know this because we see this over and over and over and over again, they are only making it worse for their client, when he's there expecting to die at 6, and scared to death because his lawyer has told him already that he's going to suffocate to death, and feel every bit of it, and instead of him getting it over at 6, he has to look up at the clock and see that it is 7 o'clock the 9 all the way to midnight sometimes, and the in May of course is of losing their mind at this point, thinking is there some small chance, that they're going to get us stay that day, just end up being killed at midnight instead of at 6, like seriously, if these lawyers are going to play these games with these people, then they should be filing an appeal for uneffective council, against their selves, because they're idiotic as hell. Smh
So..... What is justice for these monsters?
In 1987 the same year the killer was created, also the Florida State Seminoles Dynasty was born in the top 5 finish.
Kenneth Williams?
Lol
I'm sure he has no idea who Kenneth Williams is but it's hard not to find that funny
“The families of the victims were finally provided the justice that they were promised” murder is not justice just because the police do it it isn’t murder
Complete joke. The murderers aren't victims
Got any better ideas on how to punish people?
His victims wanted the chance but he gave them the death penalty
lmfaoooo
The perfect they’re acting skills pretty good in jail
Did he anesthetized all the people before he kill them? Just because he is sorry for what he did that doesn't mean he shouldn't get punished
Asa Hutchinson, as he portrays himself in this video, seems to be a smug, self-righteous politician. Who smiles joyfully when talking about the execution of another human being, criminal or otherwise? Even families who are victims of prisoners sentenced to death dont talk about such a topic joyfully. It's sick if you ask me.
Has anyone else seen the full episodes? I've always been on the fence about the death penalty, so I appreciate documentaries on the subject. Have watched seasons 2-3 (Hulu) a few times. Really enjoyed season 2 since it seemed they at least attempted to equally represent the victims' and convicts' sides, albeit some bias is evident from the filmmakers.
But it really started showing itself as anti-death penalty in season 3. It's almost entirely focused on the Arkansas mass execution/drug expiration rush. One victim's daughter made a comment that hit home, about how that story removed attention from the individual victims' stories, and how the only thing people seemed to care about was the mass execution story. I don't remember this story in the news at the time, but at least in this series, I think she was right. Don't get me wrong though, I think rushing to execute people simply because a state's drug supply will be expiring soon deserves MAJOR press and side-eye. Especially a drug that supposedly has questionable effectiveness.
Let's talk about what the murder victims went through while being killed.
Last Dec. At Kaiser, I had a major neck surgery. I remember The Anesthesiologist introducing himself and hooking me up to IVs and stuff, I woke up 6 hours later, and it was all done. Sure they had tubes and stuff, running thru my head/neck. Why can't they use that stuff. Great stuff, I tell ya.
I came from aggressive when I say it was bad it was bad child abuse , and I would never think about taking someone else life or even hurting someone unless to protect myself and those I love.... We all want and are in need of Gods forgiveness so I hope he gets it....
