- Опубліковано 26 сер 2024
- In the Executioner’s Shadow casts a penetrating look at the consequences of the death penalty through three powerful stories - a former state executioner who comes within days of executing an innocent person; a Boston Marathon bombing victim who struggles to decide what justice really means; and the parents of a murder victim who choose to fight for the life of their daughter’s killer.
As the battle over capital punishment heats up, this provocative film challenges viewers to question their deepest beliefs about the meaning of justice.
To my mind, life without parole is far far more punitive than death.
Agree totally 👍at least it would give time to fully prove innocence or not.
If so, why are almost all convicts fighting so hard to get of death row?
Serving life in.prison without parole is better than the death penality not seeing the outside world growing old in prison is better
@@exilbayer6377 Fear of death, which to me is pointless. It’s not as if they are going to be fried on the electric chair or gassed with cyanide. Executions in the US is more akin to a medical procedure than a judicial execution.
@@cynthiadavid5282 the cost keeping them for life as death pen probs down to cost less dollar with the death pen mind you saying that they can be on death row for years before the legal killing is done
The police should have been sued for not busting into to check on her after the 911 call about her screaming for help, and then they find her dead the next day. Absolutely ridiculous and negligent!
I thought the same thing‼️
I live in a country that doesn't have the death penalty. I watch a country that does, but the fact that they continue to need to use it, suggests that it may not be a deterrent?
Schieber's such a great and noble people! Two wrongs doesn't make a right! You are truly big persons! All my sympathies and love in your big sorrow and grief after your beloved one! I am so sorry for you!
If you cannot stand by your principles when it’s difficult ,they are not your principles .😢Absolutely agree fully .So sorry for their beautiful daughter being killed .They are amazing people
Exactly right
Thou Shall Not Kill is a very simple commandment. Let God be the ultimate judge of the person. Lock them up for life without parole to keep them from harming others. Murdering someone because they have committed murder is hypocrisy. Our moral knowledge that killing is wrong and our ability NOT to kill is what separates us from them. The death penalty has never been a deterrent to any crime. It costs more money to carry out the death penalty than it does to lock them up for life without parole. Also, our justice system is not infallible and innocent people have been killed. No kind of killing is more acceptable than another. I can only justify killing if you are protecting yourself and there is no other way to stop the person. I don't think God would condemn anyone for protecting their life or the life of others when there was no other choice. Also, if you can aim to wound and let the courts deal with them. I don't think that they should be able to have any kind of life in prison. They do not need books, tv or visitors. They need food and water and to be hygienic and basic medical care. The bare minimum to keep them alive. Other than that they should sit in their cell for the rest of their life thinking about the crime they committed.
🙌🏽 I agree 💯‼️🙏🏽
This is a tough one because its basically a blanket law. Some murders are much more vicious, cruel, and disgusting than others. Some surely deserve to die while others may not idk What i do know is president's, pharmaceutical companies, chemical companies, and many others murder in less direct but just as sure and are never even punished, in fact they are often rewarded. People with money are never executed in this system. Its definitely a punishment reserved for the poor and less defensible.
I think prison for life is worse than execution. There are really monsters in human form.
It is and it is not ok for us to kill someone who has killed. We are murderers then as well. Let them sit in prison for life and let God deal with them at the end of their life. Our morals and not killing another human being is what separates us from those monsters. Murdering for murder is hypocrisy.
That's because you do not believe in God.
@@marniekilbourne608 You believe in that and I believe in an eye for an eye. If you so simply take ones life expect yours to be aswell.
I believe those monsters should not have the luxury to breathe our valuable air or occupy space on our earth. Plus is us taxpayers paying for the convicts meals and housing. No thanks not for me get rid of the scum bags.

Oh💔😓♥️
Since cause of death is stated as homicide on death certificates then the law shifts the responsibility back to the executioner.So carrying out 22 executions technically means you've committed 22 homicides.
dont forget its down as legal homicide
Should read death by (method used)/ judicial execution.
Really appreciate your providing transcript. Well done!
Their is always a choice. And the choice you make is what separates you from someone who has committed murder. They chose wrong. Two wrongs do not make a right. Crimes should be answered by locking a person up. Prison is not a picnic by any means. I actually think they do have too many amenities though. They ought to be sitting in a cell thinking about what they did. But of course each case is different. What if the murder was accidental? They should still have to pay for it but the punishment should not be the same as a person who knowingly, willingly and purposely took a life or lives. Our justice system is far from perfect and the same crime is not even punished the same in every case. There are so many factors and gray areas. Taking the death penalty off the table certainly is a step to equal punishment for equal crime. And shows our morals as a society.
Yah death penalty for handicapped mentally should be outlawed
how many innocent victims have lost their Lives
Jerry, did you ask Jesus Christ for forgiveness? That’s the most important part!! And yes you can tell those souls, you push the button on, that you are truly sorry!!! I see all those graves with no names, just a number, and I pray and cry…
Why thats between them and God. They aren't innocent babies who did nothing wrong. The Bible condones capital punishment so...
Some of the things people do to each other, victims are forgotten after enough time.
Why should people pay taxes to jail these people for life? These are taxes better off spent for housing, health, education.
@Donnell Okafor , it won't be so expensive if they just get a bullet to the head right after sentencing. I swear victims and their families deserve much better
If you are guilty 100% beyond any doubt and you have a life sentence they should just execute you by hypoxia and also they need to quit putting people in prison for victimless crimes and petty drugs.
@@Mr.T-BAGGIN-UR-MOM , just have a three-strike rule: You do petty crimes 3x, and that is instant death.
@@lug.5329 death for petty crimes is a little far my guy.
@@Mr.T-BAGGIN-UR-MOM , what is a petty crime anyway? any amount stolen is still stolen. any injury is still an injury. any illegality is still an illegality. also, petty crimes can turn to heinous ones later.

What if it was own son. Double standards ?
@@memybikeni9931 Do you even know what double standards mean? go read a book.
@@longdong3972 Yes, in this instance it means if you had to pull a switch on a family member you wouldn’t. Double standards.
@@memybikeni9931 1. No one would make you pull the switch on your own family member.
and 2. don't talk like you know me. If someone in my family was disgusting enough to do something to land them on death row, because you need to be a nasty person to get there. They wouldn't be my family anymore, I'd pull the switch just as fast.
Jerry Givens passed away from complications of Covid-19
😢
I support the death penalty 100% no-more, but the problem is IT TAKES YEARS for the sentence to be carried out. If anyone ever murders me i want an IMMEDIATE death penalty on the spot and no hate there.
If three or more credible eyewitnesses witnessed the criminal commit the crime, if there is also video evidence recording the criminal committing the crime in case there are no witnesses, and if all else fails, DNA evidence links the killer to the victim, and he's condemned to death, he doesn't get to waste taxpayers money on endless appeals taking 15-20 years until finally the death sentence is carried out, then that criminal gets bumped to the front of the line. He will not be able to appeal his sentence because his guilt was proved beyond a reasonable doubt.
Where has he got the idea that the US has "the best justice system in the world"? Not even close.
Thats not justice...
It is revenge....
That's what it should be u kill anyone in my family and I want revenge and if u don't feel that way there is something wrong with u
nothing wrong with revenge, i.e. in case of the Boston religion of pieces bomber
If this video does not change anyone who believes in the death penalty I don't no what will! God loves us all and we are all guilty of hurting others! Some in a small way some in a big way but in God's eyes sin is sin! Jesus forgave a murderer while on the cross because his heart felt he did wrong! That's the love we have to live by and we don't judge anyone! In prison people can change AND if innocent have a chance of that incorrect decision being reversed and set free! Once you take a life it's over! Please the whole world stop this killing and be examples of forgiveness and a second chance! We set example! The standards of a loving society! Love and peace to all! 🧡
The bible permits for the government to execute. Maybe you'll have a different view if some you love is murdered.
Jesus forgave a repentant thief whilst on the cross.
I agree the executioners have moreblood on their hands than any of those they executed yet we pay them. 1 in 9 innocent is way to much to continue this murderous injustice.
Vicky & Hubby may the lord be with you. May the lord continue to extend your territories and may the soul of your daughter rest in Peace.
Because sometimes they execute innocent people
This documentary made me cry and I feel sorry for the victim's family. I'm pro death penalty because no one has the right to kill someone especially for innocent people, I know even they were executed it will not bring back the life of the victim but for me I already gave justice to them.
"no one has the right to kill someone". But you would kill someone. You don't see the hypocrisy ? The stance you take shows that all Humans, because of the lowly stamp of our evolution, have the ability to kill, and the desire to kill, within them. When Humans are able to employ Reason and intelligence, maybe in a another 10,000 years, instead of emotion and fear that leads to thoughts of hatred and revenge, then maybe we can claim to be civilised.
No, you just made yourself a killer as well. God did not give us the right to take the life of another person, period. Murdering in punishment for murder is hypocrisy. Our justice system is not infallible and innocent people have been executed. It costs more money to carry out the death penalty than it does to keep that person locked up for the rest of their life with no parole. The death penalty has NEVER been a deterrent to any crime. It has nothing to do with feeling bad for murderers it is about our own morality and what separates us from them.
You can't kill then kill in revenge both sides killing is very wrong
@@marniekilbourne608exactly
I remember hearing about a 14-year-old boy that was put on the electric chair and he was so small they had to put a Bible under him he had to sit on a Bible so they could complete the execution that’s barbaric even if the kid did the crime he was still a juvenile and how could you do that I mean I saw the picture of the kid crying I saw it on UA-cam or something I remember seeing it and I couldn’t help but think there must’ve been another way to handle this the people that did that I don’t know what they were feeling I wouldn’t been able to have push the button
RIP George Stinney
I don’t have any opinion on a family member’s preference as to what happens to their loved ones’s torturer, murderer. But to speak so cruelly to a loved one over their choice of the two is wrong. They are entitled to their opinion. I do believe if someone is on trial for multiple murders and the choice is death, if just one family wants death then it should be death. I know a pastor who was murdered because the murderer thought the pastor had more money than he had given the beggar (he didn’t). So, he murdered him for nothing. The widow did not want the death penalty. She hoped he would change and repent, give his life to God. I hope he did. He murdered a wonderful man, husband and father.
Two wrongs dont make a right.
It's not revenge, it's retribution.
It’s both
What a beautiful soul Jerry has♥️
The thing about the death penalty is that the criminal gets to know their date of death and given time to say goodbye.... Their victims didn't..... Personally, I think they lost those rights when they commited the crime....
However, in lieu of the death penalty, a life in prison without parole is a better alternative....
The issue to me with the death penalty is it's designed to appeal to those watching, not those receiving it.
So it looks all cold clinical peaceful and not gory, don't want to offend the spectators.
It's far more humane and a damn site less suffering for the condemned to just have the head chopped off.
Might look gruesome to spectators but for the one being killed it's instant..
Lethal injections, gassing, electrocution are all prone to so many variables and unnecessary suffering to the condemned.
But the entire process is for the benefit of those watching.
Yet we're told the opposite.
Countries that behead or put bullets into the brain of the guilty we call barbaric..
What's barbaric about a quick execution?
What's barbaric is keeping people locked up for years allowing endless appeals to finally put them to death in a slow and painful manor, sometimes taking as long as 20 minutes..
Anyway, once they've been put to death, they can harm no more, even locked up for life there's a chance they can kill a guard, inmate hospital Dr nurse etc, also there's a possibility of escape where they can kill again or simply be released early to kill again.
Death ensures there are no further victim's, just speed up the process and shorten the ridiculous appeals process.
In the UK the condemned were executed within 3 weeks of sentencing and the rate of wrongful executions were slightly lower than the current us rate.
There was still cases obviously, but rare and often involved known violent criminals and legal technicalities like being insane or of low IQ.
Most were still guilty..
It’s over 10 times cheaper to house an inmate for life (40/60 years) than it is to execute that inmate. Logically one would think the opposite, but capital cases are prosecuted in an entirely different way. They require more attorneys on both sides , the trials last 40% longer, it takes longer to impanel a jury, sentencing requires a separate trial itself, they’re housed in separate “death row” units that require more staff and infrastructure, the appeals process is longer and more complex that last on average 15+ years….
Also, it’s been demonstrably proven as a failure to deter the commission of capital crimes.
We’re also the last modern westernized nation to have the death penalty.
I
By nature, execution is irrevocable, and the advancement of DNA technology has posthumously exonerated a shocking number of people.
Emotionally I understand the need for vengeance, but it just isn’t sustainable.
It’s pure science.
No but the EU system your idolizing is worse. Letting rabid unrepentant killers out after a few paltry years with shiny new identities and a tug boat of benefits for life.
Well stated. Bang on
They used Jerry up and didn't need him anymore. For most, the death penalty doesn't even give the families a piece of mind, and for most, it does. They're looking and feeling through angry, hurt, and mean eyes. I get people an eye for an eye til it's their kids' eye. Everything changes then.
Life for a life and and eye for an eye
it wouldn't bother me any to do it
Even if you May think the person could be innocent
Just makes you another psychopath, except one that would hide behind the law.
51:22 Much love and Respect for this man💪🏻💪🏻💯 I could never imagine how all of these victims and there families went through and i am so sorry
Don't forget that the families of the DR inmates and the victims have prices to pay as well. The long time it is taken to get to the actual execution. The trial, details and media. Then comes the books and the TV shows. The familes all have to relive it all. The stress takes its toll. One time someone was executed and 10 minutes later his father had a massive heart attack that took him out as well.
FFS Earle was proven not to be the killer but remained in Jail.
Thought provoking piece to say the least. I can see both sides of this but don't personally agree with the death penalty but I can see how people especially the families the victims are and respect their stance. Admire the parents and victims who reach out to their families murderers and their families, that takes guts in their convictions. Its not a black/white topic and its easy way out is to say they deserve death, but I like to think we are better than that.
@Donnell Okafor Of course I would FEEL differently. People tend to forget the victims. I would like to think I would still be against the death penalty, I think I would be if they got life, assuming they were 100% guilty, but not having been in that position I can’t say for sure.
@Donnell Okafor I believe some people change but I question their reasons, some that commit certain crimes may deserve a second chance but for capital offences that there is no doubt of guilt they should never get out. If they have “changed”, good let them do some good in prison.

@@ValkyrieofNOLA people get justice and revenge mixed up and it clouds their emotions. Entirely understandable to be honest but it doesn’t help the debate. I was pro capital punishment decades ago until I read more about it and witnessed some events overseas. It is barbaric but I can understand the emotions families feel and to be honest I may have the same emotions but hope I could keep them in check looking at bigger picture.
What a wunderful democracie the U.S.A.,
Death penalty😭

I know it seems barbaric to people from other countries but it is the law in many states and is carried out in accordance with state law. But, reform is needed.
"a racial bias, that continuous to today"
That's a straight up lie.
Statistics don't lie 😎
@@violinistoftaupo That’s right mate, check out the murder rates and the numbers reflect the truth. The per capita numbers is unreal.
Delusional.
This guy stayed on as chief executioner even though it was so terrible. Didn't want to give up that pay raise and promotion?
I believe that if there is irrefutable empirical evidence of someone committing a heinous crime against others, than yes, they should be put to death, but not after years of appeals, instead they should be executed within a month!
That in itself might be a better deterrent to committing heinous crimes.
If I was thinking about committing a crime like that, I would pause before doing it because the thought of the imminent death right after, in a month, would scare the crap out of me. If I knew that if I would be convicted based on evidence and that I wouldn’t be able to continue to live in prison while my appeals were going on, and that I would be dead in a month following a trial, I wouldn’t commit that crime. It would halt me from doing anything wrong!
And for those that might say “what if there’s no evidence” I’d say; nowadays, there is a camera everywhere you look and even ones we don’t see, how can there NOT be evidence? Don’t you think that video camera makers/companies would start vamping up their efforts to design better cameras, especially when they know that making better cameras makes for better profits.
Also, having to make sure that there is irrefutable evidence only makes those who are responsible for investigating the crime, collecting the evidence & prosecuting the case, step up and really do the job they’re supposed to be doing.
It forces the system of law & order to go beyond their own judgment and really bring forth a clear and compelling case, based on pure facts and truth!
Not innuendo or conjecture or personal bias stemming from the feelings created by the brutality of the crime, systemic or hidden prejudices or even the demeanor of the suspect.
That’s how I truly feel about the whole situation.
I think if people, even those who are immersed in the pain of a crime committed against them and their families right now, could try for one second to look outside of the box and just consider that type of alternative, this long-standing problem might have a better outcome. Maybe even reduce some of the crimes being committed?
If I was caught up in the process because someone I love was killed, I would feel absolutely content & justified in knowing that the criminal will never breathe again because they were found guilty based on facts that prove without a shadow of doubt that they were guilty and then they were executed quickly, never fearing that they would hurt anyone ever again or worse- be stuck waiting around for years and years, worrying if they will ever be fully brought to justice, because maybe laws will change or some savvy lawyer finds a technicality that might commute or throw out a sentence or the death penalty gets abolished in the state, or whatever, I think that would be inflicting prolonged pain, buttttt- there’s always a But… if I knew that someone was executed based on the social/financial status of the defendant, BS circumstances, no DNA, a crappy lawyer or corrupt cop/DA, questionable testimony, without definitive EVIDENCE, then I would have to live with the guilt of knowing that I was part of an already faulty justice system that has been proven to be extremely flawed for centuries. I would be guilty of allowing a possibly innocent person to be convicted and murdered by the court.
I don’t think I would have any peace in knowing THAT. Where is my closure then? I would still have to suffer in that constant state of pain.
Just putting that food for thought out for anyone who cared to read this far. Thank you and God Bless ALL of you ❤
Bless you for even attempting to apply logic and reason here in the land of knee jerk reactions, poor spelling and a stubborn insistence on clinging to some very extreme ideas.
I'm pro death penalty but it needs considerable reform. And I'll be damned if I will lose my humanity by thinking any condemned person is less than human. When I read some of the moronic comments I am not very nice in my response. You seem to be patient and you have given quite a bit of thought to this issue. Carry on!
Earl Washington was from Culpeper Virginia, where I live.
I can well believe his confession was coerced by the police.
Some of the law enforcement people here are great but there are some really bad. and corrupt ones. Unfortunately, I speak from experience. I'm all for the death penalty but only after much reform.
1:19 is a convenient twist of words-while not in the developed “west”, Japan and South Korea practice capital punishment and are part of the developed WORLD. This is a fact separate from opinions on the humanity-or lack of-in capital punishment.
For giving the rapist and murderer...i cannot understand...i have been the victim of crime many times..the people doing the crimes...new exactly what they were doing...i have no sympathy for such people....don't do the crime if you cannot do the time..or in the US ...the death penalty
I thought Massachusetts didn't have the death penalty
They were prosecuted under federal law. Terrorism I think
Trust me this is not a job, infact you shouldn't show your face. This is murdering people
Everyone is saying that LWOP is worse than the DP.. I have to disagree because they get to live a lifetime before they are executed with the knowledge of their death hanging over their heads and that's what they deserve. Lots of folks that are against the DP have never lost a precious loved one to a painful death by a monster. The Bible says that the murdereds blood is screaming out from the grave for justice and yes it's in the New Testament, I just forget where that passage is... But if our Creator condones it, so do I...
When being excited there is no step in life
i can only speak for myself but if i were sentenced to death, I’d drop all appeals. If i were sentenced to life, I’d beg for death.
The thought of living confined until i just died of old age is incomprehensible to me. Just my opinion. Yours may vary.
You people have no right to fight against the death penalty!! YOU may think you are so right, but YOU are trying to take other people, not like you, rights away from what those families are going through the same things, AND WORSE ‼️ Your self righteous is nauseating ‼️
Food for thought for those advocating life...
How about fairness to the people they are incarcerated with , most of whom are guilty of non violent offenses and will be released? How is it fair to endanger a drug addict doing 6 years for theft by jailing him with men who have nothing to lose and no way of additional punishment for killing to their hearts content?
What incentive do they have to behave?
God bless the people that know killing is wrong in any form. It is hard but killing the convict does not make you the better person. Not killing them shows you are the better person. It does not bring the victim back. It rarely brings family the relief they think it will. They know God will be the judge of that person in the end and their conscience is clear. Lock the person up for life without parole knowing they will never harm anyone else.
I believe this way.
First of what they go through in solitude is already too much punishment
Dead is not something worst that mentality about process to exterminate itself, for example monthly killing animals are not editorialize. It works that you cannot be true empathetic and authentic if you involving in killing an animal directly or not.
Dude. I want to understand. Really I do. And your comment probably makes perfect sense to you but I am struggling with understanding what your general premise is.
It is not about understanding or intellectual, intelligents and so on it is about absorption of own awareness and accepting reality through separation from any common logic or sense

@Viking fitness Spartan system stop smoking trust me
this is all very touching nearly brought a tear to my eye, but it didn't. if you are a complete dirt bag
and you are prepared to take another persons life for your own satisfaction or greed or lust then
you should suffer with as much pain as humanly possible given to you by the said state to satisfy
the pain of the relatives you personally robbed. so all you tear jerkers get over your ridiculous little self's
and think of the last minutes of the victims it would of been much worse then what they get
Your comment, while badly spelled and lacking coherence is not without merit. Criminals should be punished. Some criminals should be extra punished. Some people commit crimes that cross the line and are so heinous that they must be executed. It's not revenge and it's not about the victim or their families and not about deterrence. It's the law in the states whose voters have supported it and voted to keep it so if it's imposed by a judge or jury it must be carried out unless new evidence that would exonerate the person ís provided in or an appeals court rules that the state made errors in the trial. It's a process designed to ensure the innocent go free and the guilty are punished. And it needs a complete overhaul by the states that still have it because there are problems
Look at Earl Washington right here in my little town.
But the ridiculous notion that a person who is facing execution is a subhuman piece of feces and deserves to be tortured or deprived of basic human rights makes me angry. That is some sick and vengeful shit and anyone who believes it has lost their basic humanity.
Deserve got nothing to do with carrying out the law.
sorry i wasn't aware that you was judging my technical abilities concerning my grammar but at least you managed to get my point well done @@margaretfiester3689
I believe that the man who raped and killed the young woman should be executed. I find the mother of the victim to be selfish, if she campaigned against in the case of her daughter, that would be acceptable but to go on and impose her belief on others is going too far. I feel for the innocent man that was almost executed but to use that as a reason to stop all executions will be a mistake.
God's will on Earth is thru His people..?
From 78-99 is NOT 17 years
He was a prison warden from 78-99. He was an executioner from 82-99 pay attention.
I couldn't or want his job.
Only when he has to face God.?
I don’t believe prison is a “ joyous place”. Knowing they are only leaving in a pine box must be a never ending nightmare. Why not let the guilty suffer than?
As far as Jerry goes, he will be facing all his 67 murder victims in hell!
Suffer where, in prison? The place where they get free healthcare, education, meals, Tv, libraries, rent free and a job.
Who do define as victims? Them knowing they will leave in a pine box is not a deterrent for hard criminals. My disagreement with the death penalty is solely based on how many are convicted to be proven innocent later.
I bet their daughter would be pissed. Its Justice for HER NOT ONLY YOU.
Edit: the executioner, all the sudden claims he was also innocent after found guilty for money laundering. And against the death penalty. You were fired as an executioner, and not because you became against it. I bet it feels like crap there, huh sir.
i hope he canr sleep at night i dont agree with death penalty let the lord judge
The comment about racial bias is very wrong
Only allah the most merciful and most forgiving and in islam is where you find salvation,
Is allah the most merciful the brother of Ming the merciless ?
You only find salvation with jesus
Jesus Christ is Lord.
Allah doesn't exist...it's a scam
The thing is, the criminals that committed these heinous crimes deserve the SAME that they dished out. The death penalty is supposed to be a deterrent, prison could be a deterrent. Criminals are treated better than the elderly here in America. Let that sink in.
Bring the death penalty back to Michigan!
