Incredible how she remained objective in her narration to what she witnessed yet somehow did not appear cold and detached from it. What a great reporter hope she goes far in her career.
@ ehh it depends. Sure Atlanta is a bigger city than OKC (I think lol..?) but all US cities are great and have a lot to offer like every state in the union. In my OWN PERSONAL opinion at least. No one is better than anyone else 👍🏼.
Entering a house unlawfully, kidnapping a family, torturing a family, raping all the young girls, beating the family members and burying a victim alive... That's scary.
She sounded as if she did not want him to die for his crimes. after all he did not kill her family member , but the fact that he did die then thats a great news.
I am SO conflicted. As a psych major, I’ve learned and seen how ineffective it is ( and damaging, and perpetuating) to say “ no killing” and then PUNISH a person, for killing, BY killing him/ her. I know, crazy. I’m also thinking the Old Testament says “ an eye for an eye”...... I just don’t know how to feel about this and the older I get, the more confused I become.
@@mrsmacca126 Just remember what Jesus told Peter after Peter cut the guard's ear off after that guard put his hands on Jesus! Jesus told Peter, "If you live by the sword, you will die by the sword." Pray about it and ask God for you to have the peace in the way He wants you to know, in case you ever have to treat someone who is a murderer! God bless.
REBELWITHACAUSE- I thank you, for taking the time to offer a kind, thoughtful and Christian opinion. I truly do struggle with the whole concept, and have never served on a jury, due to being completely honest when asked crucial questions regarding my ability to vote for certain penalties, et, al.
What a superb presentation from a very beautiful and talented lady as Courtney Francisco. You explained everything in great clarity and I honestly felt as though I had been there with you watching all these events unfold, at least until they WRONGLY pulled down the curtains. He may well have died of a heart attack...but no ''witnesses'' can testify that he wasn't PURPOSELY induced into one to make certain he died in that room. In other words, maybe they could have resuscitated him but decided not to and administered a heart attack potion that finished him off for good. It's a disgrace that the people that were legally there to report on this sentence being carried out were not permitted to do so due to the incompetence of the medical team that I wouldn't allow to treat someone with an ingrowing toenail. Oh boy....this could only happen in America. The most powerful country in the world....but also the most useless at times.
So you'd like him boiled in oil? Or do you have a limit? If you're for torture, then you just don't understand what torture is. Or the thought would be unbearable.
@@ashleetyler429 I don't know what Race has to do with this but his Victim got a bit of justice my brother was murdered at 21 by mistaken identity and there still walking the streets anyone who takes a life deserves a death like this or even worst than this
What do you mean by that?? That the USA should torture people to death?? You don`t care about his victims. You only want to see an inmate being tortured to death. You`re not really much better than Clayton Lockett.
@@yellyman5483, he deserves to be tortured the same way his victims were, i dont care what you have to say, murderers arent humans and should be treated like wild animals
@@bobisonline, i know, i think the punishments should be harsher to discourage ppl from become a threat to humanity, it wont get rid of murderers completely but it will atleast settle down to only 0.5%
@John Smith yea, fkoff.. glad he *accidentally* went out in distress... Lockett later told police "he decided to kill Stephanie because she would not agree to keep quiet," court records state. Neiman was forced to watch as Lockett's accomplice, Shawn Mathis, spent 20 minutes digging a shallow grave in a ditch beside the road. Her friends saw Neiman standing in the ditch and heard a single shot. Lockett returned to the truck because the gun had jammed. He later said he could hear Neiman pleading, "Oh God, please, please" as he fixed the shotgun. The men could be heard "laughing about how tough Stephanie was" before Lockett shot Neiman a second time. "He ordered Mathis to bury her, despite the fact that Mathis informed him Stephanie was still alive."
@@owenshores3358 yep.. died 45 mins later is still dead now.. fine by me.. much better exit than his victims if you ask me.. the victim's loved ones are still suffering much longer than 45 mins tho.. like, still suffering as I type this.
Yes today , it is sad to say that good has become bad and bad has become good .It never fails to annoy me, how people convicted of murder have too many allies .How about the victims?
I read she was brutally raped and murdered her life mattered l have children and l would lose my mind if someone was to hurt my child .All of my prayers for the families
@John Cenataur -- The way I view Capitol Punishment is. The prisoner should have thought about that before they intentionally murdered someone for no apparent reason.
Who gives a 💩 how long it takes for this POS to die. He didn’t care how his victim felt or how how it took her to die. Glad he’s gone, just not soon enough.
In 1999, Lockett kidnapped and shot Stephanie Neiman, a nineteen-year-old high school graduate, a friend of Lockett's other victims, and a witness to his crimes. He used duct tape to bind her hands and cover her mouth. Even after being kidnapped and driven to a dusty country road, Neiman refused to back down when Lockett asked if she planned to contact police. After she stated she would go to the police as soon as he released her, Lockett walked her into a ravine, had his accomplices help her over a barbed wire fence, where Lockett shot her from a distance of approximately six feet with a 1/4 ounce slug from a sawed off 12 gauge shotgun. The impact from the slug tore into her chest and shoulder knocking her to the ground. At that time Lockett's gun jammed. As Nieman lay on the ground moaning in agony he walked back to their vehicle and using a screw driver unjammed the shotgun. As Nieman moaned and convulsed on the ground, Lockett walked back to where she lay across the fence, and while holding the shotgun over the fence approximately 2 feet from Niemans chest he pulled the trigger. Even though the second shot was directly in her chest it still wasn't fatal. As Nieman lay on the ground gasping for air he stated, "I ain't going to shoot her again", and decided to bury her alive.[10] Lockett ordered an accomplice to bury her while she was still breathing. She died from two wounds from a shotgun fired by Lockett.
@@TheGuitarTheory " she stated she would go to the police as soon as he released her," - pretty dumb tbh, she should've just lied, lying to get out of a deadly situation is the obvious wise move.
They put you to sleep first, which should take no time at all. Then after they're sleeping, they pump the lethal drugs which would take a few minutes to kill someone. That's my understanding at least.
There are two systems in use in the United states for lethal injection, the one that used to be more common is the three drug cocktail, where you are first given a drug that takes you out, and then a drug that paralyses you and then a drug that stops the heart, but after problems getting the drugs needed and also the fact that if you wake up after you are paralysed you can not move and will just suffer a massive heart attack, and that would be cruel and unusual punishment, many states now use a singel drug to kill them, i dont know how it works or what drugs they are, but there has been alot of problems with that too...
Brenda R In the case of surgery, Propofol or similar is used to intravenously to 'put you under' and works within seconds of introduction. Propofol is not used in lethal injection obviously as they are 'heavily sedated' but not technically under general anesthesia or completely unconcious.
Surgical anesthesia is done by medical professionals. Executions are done by people with little professional medical training. Also, getting surgery is usually a voluntary act but getting your lights snuffed out permanently is not going to get you in the mood too well.
Syd Stephen of dont ever find yourself near a crime scene and lose a strand of fucking hair or something. That's all it takes. They need to prove you were there. Doesnt matter if it was a week before the murder. And boom! Your ass is dead.
Syd Stephen this isn’t exactly true, some people have been found to be innocent and murdered by the system which in my opinion is backwards and disturbing. In any case executing a criminal is still murder. I totally agree in locking up dangerous individuals for life if they are proven to be accountable beyond reasonable doubt but I think murdering them is just as backwards as the individuals that carried out the crime in the first place.
Vicky Deishler This is the point that's been missed. To have an heart attack after being given.a drug to put you unconceince, relaxed, then breathing is stopped in comparison to being kidnapped, beaten shot then buried alive. This guy was the judge jury excutioner of this younglady, I say he got off pretty good, because at the end of the day he put himself in that situtation, but I bet you murders will continue to murder. Though this type of capital punishment has its.problem, it's still needed. He gets a humane death while his victim did not ? Oh please move along mission.accomplished. He wouldn't torcher anyone else.
GunsNpolitics Crazy as hell, that's what's wrong with them. Can you imagine what this country would be like without the death penelty? These heartless inhumane scumbags are still committing murders with the death penelty in place. So what the meds took a little longer to kick in , but it did. To laugh at someone who he kidnaped then beat shoot multiple times while looking and laughing at her while she begged for her life wasn't good enough he ordered her to be buried alive. Off the this earth.he goes👆👆.
For all who think this botched execution is So awful listen to Lockett's confession. He gives great detail with out remorse, how he and accomplices in 1999 kidnapped, beat, shot her twice, and buried Stephanie Neiman while he could still hear her crying. His vain blew so the drugs did not go directly into his system. That was an act of Nature. That's what they call a tornado or storm.
Cruel and unusual punishment is illegal. We are to humanely execute people (if there is such a thing). Veins blowing isn’t unusual, especially during executions. Again, we shouldn’t be torturing people as we execute them, regardless of their crimes. That’s why we do this as humanely as possible.
Hi Cami, Do you think this was done on purpose, like having his concoction tampered with or do you believe it was an accident and that he did actually have a vein collapse and have a heart attack? I don’t know what to think?
@@Camibug I have no problem with a two legged rabid dog like Lockett suffering the way he did because he brought it upon himself. He should have left Stephanie Nieman alone.
What makes me upset is that the victims are forgotten. They were killed without mercy, their families suffer. Alas the media only care about the criminals. Children need parents to teach the right and wrong so they don't end up in prison on death row.
Exactly. And you're right children do need parents that can teach. That requires the parents to be fully functional and healthy in a truly sick dysfunctional society. Pretty much never guaranteed
If execution is going to occur then it should be quick. Just because someone has tortured and killed another does not mean they in turn should be tortured. It's barbaric and lowers society to the killer's standard. It's not punishment then but revenge. Personally I think that execution is barbaric anyway.
My only regret regarding this particular "botched" execution, is that we could only do it once! Let me offer a little advice for those that oppose the DP. Let this one go. You are not helping your cause or converting anyone with this particular case. Stick with the 2 or 3 cases where the execution may have involved an innocent person. This POS doesn't deserve your sympathy!
People like you should have to explain to George Stinney why he was executed. You're hypocrites. The blood of a 14 year old child is on you; as you support the very system that murdered him.
How sheltered do you have to be to think people are for torture. If that were true we’d have crucifixions. And it wouldn’t be unconstitutional. Or against international law. Or called unthinkable. Also, you have no idea what torture is, or the thought would be unbearable. Go outside for once and ask anyone.
@@penelopepurr Nah, rent a bowling alley, enclose the head of condemn in a heavy plastic bag and hang them upside down with an oil changing container underneath to catch all the blood that the bag doesn't.
How did Stephanie Nieman feel? How did her death go? How scared do you think she was? How much pain and terror do you think she went through? God bless her and God bless whoever is reading this. I really struggle with this aspect of humanity/inhumanity.
Think about the three other women who lived through it. Stephanie was murdered while 3 others watched. All 4 were beaten and gang raped repeatedly by Lockett and his accomplices. I know one of those women. She carries those scars with her for life. No amount of suffering for this sad excuse for a human will ever be enough to repay what he took from those women. I hope he feels every bit of it, even beyond the grave.
No she didn’t. Being buried alive isn’t painful. In any case, how would you know how long she suffered? Brainiac. Also, if you’re for torture, then you have no idea what torture is. Just torture yourself a little and you’ll see the thought is unbearable.
Sympathetic feelings about the death of a human are understandable. Many people have enough empathy for life that no matter what the circumstances may be, they cannot understand nor accept responsibility for an extermination. I suggest, rather than observing an execution of a convicted murderer as though it was a sacrifice for mankind, we should provide a slide show during the execution, to emphasize remembrance of the life of the victim(s) so everyone can appreciate why the destruction of societies violators is necessary. Long live the memory of the victims lives lost.

@@tyxikosgatopoulos3094 Oh yes, only kid gloves for the criminals. We must be civilized at any cost to decent people. Sadly criminals do not share this opinion.
She gives a very dignified solemn description of a botched execution. I wonder how dignified the crime was that put him on death row. Now all of a sudden the Offender is the victim, deserving mercy and compassion, when he showed none of that to his victim. Go back to the firing squad. Its more what they deserve anyway.
What about the guillotine? I prefer that method. Stray bullets are a concern...Also, how much are taxpayers going to pay for each bullet? The guillotine is fast, painless, no possibility of error, and the same blade can be reused over and over.
It’s similar to how he killed Staphanie Neumann. Shot her, shot her again shot her again.. then asked his friends to bury her alive. This is eerily similar

I feel like I've heard this so many times before - prison officials not being able to find a suitable vein for execution. They need to have an actual phlebotomist inserting the I.V. line.
We should not be executing people. If it was a foolproof method that was consistent and just and fair, then that might be a different story but it's not! It is brutal, inhumane, inconsistent, and it does nothing to deter murderers anyway! This story makes me sick.
ok snowflake go back to your safety corner wrap up in your blanky and suck on your binky do what real AMERICANS DO GROW BALLS BUILD A BRIDGE AND GET THE HELL OVER IT the victims didnt get a chance as they were slowly killed
Excellent professional reporting. It sure seems that the news these days is infested with opinionated, agenda laden reporting. Especially given the graphic and politically charged nature of the topic and content, it was very refreshing to get this detailed, objective, facts-only first hand account. Thank you Ms. Francisco.
It's not an either or situation for most people. Seeing anyone die a bad death, no matter who it is, is probably going to make a person feel some type of way about it that doesn't involve joy. Many people here that have no empathy for Lockett and how he died would probably feel differently if they actually saw it live and in person. It's easy to dismiss a person's death when it happens in a vacuum, but things change when you see death up close and personal like that. I have patients from all walks of life and I've yet to watch someone die where I felt absolutely nothing, even when the patient was a terrible person who caused harm to others. The day I feel nothing is the day I'll leave my profession behind.
When he chose to murder his victim God only knows what was going through his mind, but he must have thought that it was a good idea at the time. Not anymore, when he walked into the room and saw the gurney there only then would it finally hit him the enormity of what he had done. By then it was way too late.
Michael R how do you know that? You dont even know I exist before i replied to your comment. In saying God does not exist you claim you know all places in and outside the universe in time past eternity and eternity to come. satans has fooled you into making such a claim.
She does an awesome job of telling her story. I believe if a person is convicted of a deadly crime he should be punished harshly. Drug injections are too easy for these murderers.
He deserved a lot worse Lockett murdered Neiman on June 3, 1999. Stephanie, 19, had just graduated from Perry High School, where she played the saxophone in the band, two weeks earlier. Neiman and a female friend had stopped to visit another friend named Bobby Bornt, 23, who was at his Perry home with his 9-month-old son. Clayton Lockett, 23, his cousin, Alfonzo Lockett, 17 and Shawn Mathis, 26, were already there. While Bornt's baby son slept in another room, they had tied up and were beating Bornt because he owed money to Clayton Lockett. When Neiman's friend went inside the home they hit her with a shotgun then forced her to call Neiman into the home. They repeatedly raped Neiman's 18-year-old friend, tied up the two women then used Neiman's truck to take the adults and the baby to a rural part of Kay County. When Neiman refused to give Clayton Lockett the keys to her truck or provide him the alarm code, he ordered Stephanie to kneel while Mathis dug a grave. Lockett shot her and the gun jammed. While Neiman lay there screaming, the attackers cleared the jam and Lockett shot her a second time. Even though she was still breathing, he ordered the other two attackers to drag her into the grave and bury her. They threatened to kill Bobby Bornt and Neiman's friend if they went to police, but they did anyway. Perry police arrested the three attackers just three days later.
Its irellevant, one atrocity was comitted by a piece of shit who got the death penalty, this atrocity was comitted by a supposedly civilized society and no one was punished.
If they make the death penalty any more " humane " , you will have people paying to be gently put out of their misery because of old age or crazy suicidal people. You guys make murderers sleep better at night , them knowing you will have a heart come execution night.
I'm sorry ... but who gives a flying BEEEEEP if his execution was "HUMANE" ... 😵 ... DID HE GIVE HIS VICTIM HAVE A "HUMANE EXECUTION"...??? From what I've read Stephanie was given ANYTHING BUT A " HUMANE EXECUTION" ... and YES SHE WAS EXECUTED...!!! When someone is forced TO WATCH THEIR OWN GRAVE BEING DUG FOR 20 MINUTES ... knowing 100% full well that it's THEIR GRAVE BEING DUG RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM ... and then they're shot twice - laughed at by their Executioner - and then BURIED WHILE STILL ALIVE ... I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT STEPHANIE'S EXECUTION WAS ANYTHING BUT "HUMANE"...!!! So I'm sorry if I couldn't care less if this BEAST WAS EXECUTED " HUMANELY"...!!!
Weenuts0007- One strong criticism of death penalty is that some convicted of murder are really innocent.. This often happens if the police,prosecutor face a high profile ,sensational case.. in which there is public pressure for justice
Anybody remember Anne Pressly ? The young beautiful anchor who worked for KATV in Little Rock, Arkansas - She was beaten to death with a garden tool by Curtis LaVelle Vance. She was only 26. So this Curtis LaVelle Vance - he was charged with capital murder, rape, residential burglary and theft. If the criminal winced a little bit or felt a little pain, well think about it. We're not talking about apples to apples here.
Aaww poor f***baby ,😒REALLY!?!? yeah Stephanie struggled to breath too in that hole he threw her in after being shot twice by that monster.then buried ALIVE!!! At least he got the chance to say his last words,see family and friends ....At least he wasn't taunted about his impending death ,beat tortured,put in a grave ,shot twice,and buried alive!! I can't believe anyone felt sorry for this piece of shit! If it was your family members he did these horrible things to you may not be so sympathetic to him "squirming a little before he HUMANELY drifted off to sleep! He deserved ALOT MORE PAIN than he got after what he did to Stephanie!! She WAS TOTALLY INNOCENT ,,DID NOTHING TO ANYONE,,, AND HE DIDNT CARE ABOUT HER PAIN AND SUFFERING AT ALL!!!!! I THINK THEY SHOULD FO THE SAME THING TO THESE MURDERING ASSHOLES AS THEY DID THEIR VICTIMS!!! Imagine the drop in crime rates if these pieces of garbage knew they were going to get the same death that they perpetrated against their victims! Stephanie DID NOT deserve this,she was a kind good hearted, loving, selfless amazing woman ,And this monster will never do this to anyone else thank goodness...
created created well as well I feel for you...if you were wrongfully accused and put on death row....but I have a good reason for my feelings and I make ZERO apologies for it....on February 14th 1992 at 5:45 when I was 8 months pregnant with my daughter I was awakened by a loud knock at my front door....it was several officers ,2 of which I knew very well and we're good friends with, when I saw them sobbing I knew it wasn't good...an ANIMAL a no good sorry worthless piece of trash that happened to live 3 houses down from my aunt and uncle, decided to kill the man he lived with,shoot his wife, reload his gun and made his way to the only house with lights on ,. My aunt and uncle were of course awake because she worked for the postal service and was up making coffee...he came to their kitchen door, kicked the door in,...shot my aunt, when my uncle ran out of the bathroom to see what was going on he was shot in the face....then he saw my aunt crawling towards the hall with the little bit of life she still had in her ,trying to warn her two sons and comfort her husband laying in the hallway dead...so he laughed at her, mocked her ,because she couldn't scream but was trying to wake her kids all the time he made fun of her with the gun to her forehead, he then shot her again killing her.. he went into Bryan's room, he had headphones in so didn't hear and was still asleep. He was a couple of weeks away from being married to his HS sweetheart...he put the gun to his head while he layed there sleeping and was no threat at all . And shot him in the head killing him instantly. ..by this time he woke the youngest son 15 yrs old...and as Brad opened his bedroom door he saw this evil monster coming for him and he grabbed the end on the rifle and fought with him, he blew his hand apart ,but he got away ....as he was running for his life he slipped on his parents blood and fell several times trying to get away...he made it out and ran to his sister's home in the same subdivision,...she was 9 months pregnant at the time and thankfully her husband was home and ran to the house to stop this asshole but he had stolen their keys and what little cash they had and was long gone....when he was about to be executed there was controversy over the drug being used on him as well...but THANKFULLY that didn't stop them from killing the bastard...look it up if you like his name was Jason Williams....we had to tell this 15 year old when he came out of surgery that not only was his parents gone, but his mentor, his idol his big brother who he looked up to was also dead...he had no idea ...that shattered him...he has been through hell on Earth since that day...nightmares , PTSD , depression...thankfully he was strong willed and broke through it....but this piece of shit took 3 beautiful amazing people from our family and left us destroyed, all because '" his ex-wife was refusing to take him back that morning and told him he couldn't have the drugs he had hidden in his house"' that's the reason he took our family and another man that was kind enough to take him in....so you will have to excuse me if I have strong opinions on the matter and believe that the man that took our family along with all the other GUILTY pieces of trash like him DO NOT DESERVE A PAINLESS DEATH AT ALL!!!!!! QUITE THE CONTRARY !!!!! I WISH HE WOULD HAVE JUMPED UP SCREAMING IN THE MOST EXCRUCIATING PAIN IMAGINABLE SO WE COULD LOOK AT HIM THROUGH THE GLASS AND LAUGH AT HIM AND MOCK HIM LIKE HE DID MY AUNT AS SHE TRIED TO SAVE THE LIVES OF HER CHILDREN!!!!!!!but unfortunately, he just went to sleep.... period....doesn't seem fair to me at all!!!!!! But maybe I'm a bit biased seeing as how I had to walk in a church and see three coffins in a row...and say goodbye to those beautiful amazing selfless, hard working people who would have given that asshole money, a ride anywhere had he just asked that morning....but he thought killing them was a better choice....so I'm so sorry but I ran out of sympathy for people like that on Feb 14th 1992 at 5:45 am
Bring back the electric chair. I remember when Ted Bundy was electrocuted. The DJ on the radio said, right before they flipped the switch, for everyone to turn on all their lights and electrical devices so Bundy would get the least amount of electricity possible, i.e., make it take longer.
This young lady does not sway me. She was there as an approved witness. The victim of the murder had no one but her murderers. I wonder how these witnesses would feel if they had a chance to actually witness the murder.
It is not even a fact that he felt anything. I had general anaesthesia and swear to god I felt nothing and remembered nothing but doctor's assistants told that i was swearing, trying to grab staff members and was acting like I am not ok with what is happening and was trying to exit this situation somehow...
These deaths are nothing to being killed in combat, so I feel nothing for him should not have buried her alive. If he had shot and killed her instantly she suffered so he deserves to suffer as well. Another thing if you lack the constitution for justice do not attend justice just like murder and rape is brutal in it's punishment as it should be for crimes of this magnitude.
Execution or "murder by committee" lessens society. It has nothing to do with lacking the constitution for justice. It isn't punishment but revenge. We as a society should be better than that even if some individuals aren't.
To prevent botched executions, I think they should just insert a central line instead of regular IV. The funeral home can also use this central line for embalming.
These people who are executed, are being put to death for heinous crimes. They had no compassion for their victims. It will be hard for anyone with a sense of right and wrong, to be moved by this woman's words, concerning any discomfort a murderer might feel during execution. Don't do the crime, you won't have to pay the price.
Nothing compared to what he did to his victim. "The men beat [Stephanie Niemann] and used duct tape to bind her hands and cover her mouth.

she is a cry baby... boo hoo grow up, wonder how she would feel if she had been on the other end of clayton's shotgun? Buried alive for no reason other then he wanted to kill and showed 0 mercy. or maybe if she were the one being raped and beaten? Its easy to say how awful but he deserved it, in fact his death was easy compared to his victim, who by the way was just 19.
Exactly what is the purpose of giving a moment by moment detailed review of the execution ? Oh thats right this is You Tube which is basically an entertainment site. Thank you for giving us that moment by moment account of his death. After such a vivid account you almost feel you were there. Such entertainment is not always easy to find so I'd like to personally thank that reporter for helping us all feel like we were there. I'm surprised that Pay-per-view didn't get in on this. And BTW FYI....there is no script for an execution. So the only way it can be "botched" is if he didn't die.
Young lady, you were poised, professional and impartial in this video. This is not meant to be political in any way, but in the pantheon of reporters who made it big in your chosen career, nearly all of them achieved that level of success by covering a major story. Indeed 12 alone did so by way of covering the OJ trial. But who am i telling. Just as easily though, one can fall from their perch by reporting untruths. Falsehoods (see Claas Relotius), exaggerations (see Brian Williams), and outright lies (see hundreds of political journalists. My life coach advice: 1. Use this experience to create further dialogue on the issue - whether you voice a sharp opinion or not. 2.Continue insisting on accurate information, whether incoming or out. 3. Ask hard questions both fair and unapologetically. Sure, you want to be liked and respected, but it's not a popularity contest. A friend once told me years ago that if you try to please everyone, you wont please ANYONE. 4. Hold people to what they've said previously and be prepared to back it up. 5. Whether you strive to be totally accurate but get scooped here or there, or if you want to be Johnny on the spot but have to later retract something or other, pick one and commit to it. Be absolutely consistent. If you do these, and some might add to the list but these tenets are something you develop a name for, you will almost always get what you're in the business for: the trust of your peers, viewers sources and the figures whom you interview and then on whom you report.
Just imagine if the scumbags knew they were going to be tortured to death like there victims. Just imagine if they knew that when they went to jail it was bread and water and nothing else. Just imagine how much the crime rate would drop in a short period of time?
It would not. In coutries that have capital punishment crimes rates are actually higher than in those that do not. So, your babbling is just a rightist's wet dream.
Sorry but no sympathy for someone who caused someone else's death and pain like he did. If these drugs are so controversial just do the firing squad or hanging or something and be done.
sounds like tghe lady being interviewed is tryingto slowly build up suspense before telling the full story which could be told in a few seconds. Psychopath croaked good riddance.
What's wrong with a big old heavy machine press, one strike from a large enough press, a head could instantly obliterated, absolutely no chance of any pain, a bit messy but humane.
Lets not forget the real victim here. Stephanie Neiman was 19 years old when he kidnapped, beaten, shot twice and then buried alive. I’m pretty sure she experienced pain and terror on a scale much bigger than this man. Regardless of rather you agree with the death penalty or not, their is no way to paint this man in a victimized role.
There is no circumstance that would cause me to witness an execution if I could get out of it. Even if they were instantly zapped out of existence by a phaser set on kill. I sat through a life sentence verdict for the murderer of a loved one and it didnt make me feel better. Quite the opposite. Its just like double waste of lives. That said, I still dont feel one bit of sympathy for this guy. 17 minutes is a short death compared to cancer or copd.
This woman acts like he was just in for surgery.But why don't they use propofol&versed?.they use it for surgery all the time!.. This guy murdered a girl or did she forget?.
We are hearing more about how painful his execution was but less about how painful stephenie's brutal murder was. Criminals have more rights than their victims. What is the purpose of this video?
Maybe she would prefer him being put down like the murder he committed. He got of easy compared to what he did . While they tell these stories it should be told what they did to get the death sentence. Then people can decide if the punishment fits the crime. IMO, This one certainly did.
When you're nervous your veins and arteries constrict and recede, which makes it difficult to find a vein. Being executed is a very anxiety inducing process for someone being subjected to it, to say the least, and often their veins are difficult to get the needle into. It isn't a particularly small needle either like the kind at the hospital, it's a thick caveter needle. They had to stick the needle into his dick by the sound of it, on his report it just said "groin area" as suitable veins elsewhere could not be found. The stuff they inject you with to knock you unconscious isn't enough usually to render you truly unconscious, it heavily sedates you so you can barely move but it doesn't dull or stop pain. The second and third drugs, if injected while you're still conscious and able to feel pain, give you the sensation of burning. The lethal injection is essentially akin to being burned alive at the stake for those subjected to it; the only reason they aren't screaming and thriving in agony is because they're tranquilized by the first drug, midazolam
If only reporters could give this type of compassion and attention to detail to the victims of people like this animal. Could care less about a “botched” execution.
I’ve got no sympathy for him. He lost that when he killed Stephanie, and the way he carried on with his disgusting behaviour during him time in prison adds to it. The world is a better place without him
Incredible how she remained objective in her narration to what she witnessed yet somehow did not appear cold and detached from it. What a great reporter hope she goes far in her career.
Comes with having told the story over again.
She's in Atlanta now so....a move up from OK I'd guess.

What a superb presentation from a very beautiful and talented lady as Courtney Francisco.
You explained everything in great clarity and I honestly felt as though I had been there with you watching all these events unfold, at least until they WRONGLY pulled down the curtains.
He may well have died of a heart attack...but no ''witnesses'' can testify that he wasn't PURPOSELY induced into one to make certain he died in that room. In other words, maybe they could have resuscitated him but decided not to and administered a heart attack potion that finished him off for good.
It's a disgrace that the people that were legally there to report on this sentence being carried out were not permitted to do so due to the incompetence of the medical team that I wouldn't allow to treat someone with an ingrowing toenail.
Oh boy....this could only happen in America.

@John Smith yea, fkoff.. glad he *accidentally* went out in distress... Lockett later told police "he decided to kill Stephanie because she would not agree to keep quiet," court records state.
Neiman was forced to watch as Lockett's accomplice, Shawn Mathis, spent 20 minutes digging a shallow grave in a ditch beside the road. Her friends saw Neiman standing in the ditch and heard a single shot.
Lockett returned to the truck because the gun had jammed. He later said he could hear Neiman pleading, "Oh God, please, please" as he fixed the shotgun.
The men could be heard "laughing about how tough Stephanie was" before Lockett shot Neiman a second time.
"He ordered Mathis to bury her, despite the fact that Mathis informed him Stephanie was still alive."

generalbarry exactly. Go watch one of these bastards kill an innocent person.
Step by step....right ??
In 1999, Lockett kidnapped and shot Stephanie Neiman, a nineteen-year-old high school graduate, a friend of Lockett's other victims, and a witness to his crimes. He used duct tape to bind her hands and cover her mouth. Even after being kidnapped and driven to a dusty country road, Neiman refused to back down when Lockett asked if she planned to contact police. After she stated she would go to the police as soon as he released her, Lockett walked her into a ravine, had his accomplices help her over a barbed wire fence, where Lockett shot her from a distance of approximately six feet with a 1/4 ounce slug from a sawed off 12 gauge shotgun. The impact from the slug tore into her chest and shoulder knocking her to the ground. At that time Lockett's gun jammed. As Nieman lay on the ground moaning in agony he walked back to their vehicle and using a screw driver unjammed the shotgun. As Nieman moaned and convulsed on the ground, Lockett walked back to where she lay across the fence, and while holding the shotgun over the fence approximately 2 feet from Niemans chest he pulled the trigger. Even though the second shot was directly in her chest it still wasn't fatal. As Nieman lay on the ground gasping for air he stated, "I ain't going to shoot her again", and decided to bury her alive.[10] Lockett ordered an accomplice to bury her while she was still breathing. She died from two wounds from a shotgun fired by Lockett.
Tonald Drump I watched this video because his suffering was funny to me. I would’ve loved to see it in person like this lucky lady.
@@TheGuitarTheory " she stated she would go to the police as soon as he released her," - pretty dumb tbh, she should've just lied, lying to get out of a deadly situation is the obvious wise move.
I've never understood why, when having surgery, you are immediately out. But this process takes 6 to 8 minutes. It makes no sense.
They put you to sleep first, which should take no time at all. Then after they're sleeping, they pump the lethal drugs which would take a few minutes to kill someone. That's my understanding at least.
There are two systems in use in the United states for lethal injection, the one that used to be more common is the three drug cocktail, where you are first given a drug that takes you out, and then a drug that paralyses you and then a drug that stops the heart, but after problems getting the drugs needed and also the fact that if you wake up after you are paralysed you can not move and will just suffer a massive heart attack, and that would be cruel and unusual punishment, many states now use a singel drug to kill them, i dont know how it works or what drugs they are, but there has been alot of problems with that too...
MrFinnboy69, the heart attack was caused by the injection of Potassium Chloride.
Brenda R In the case of surgery, Propofol or similar is used to intravenously to 'put you under' and works within seconds of introduction. Propofol is not used in lethal injection obviously as they are 'heavily sedated' but not technically under general anesthesia or completely unconcious.
Surgical anesthesia is done by medical professionals. Executions are done by people with little professional medical training. Also, getting surgery is usually a voluntary act but getting your lights snuffed out permanently is not going to get you in the mood too well.
Don't kill innocent people and you won't have to worry about this.
Syd Stephen of dont ever find yourself near a crime scene and lose a strand of fucking hair or something. That's all it takes. They need to prove you were there. Doesnt matter if it was a week before the murder. And boom! Your ass is dead.
Syd Stephen this isn’t exactly true, some people have been found to be innocent and murdered by the system which in my opinion is backwards and disturbing. In any case executing a criminal is still murder. I totally agree in locking up dangerous individuals for life if they are proven to be accountable beyond reasonable doubt but I think murdering them is just as backwards as the individuals that carried out the crime in the first place.
Not a fan of the Eighth Amendment huh?
Syd Stephen there isent any such thing as innocent people
I think we should get on with executing the condemned on death row. The more blothed the merrier
I do not feel sorry for him at all. He had a easy death compared to person he killed.
Say goodbye to your humanity.
Davide Mazzetti shut the fuck up
Executing a killer that has been convicted by a jury is NOT wrong.
Vicky Deishler This is the point that's been missed. To have an heart attack after being given.a drug to put you unconceince, relaxed, then breathing is stopped in comparison to being kidnapped, beaten shot then buried alive. This guy was the judge jury excutioner of this younglady, I say he got off pretty good, because at the end of the day he put himself in that situtation, but I bet you murders will continue to murder. Though this type of capital punishment has its.problem, it's still needed. He gets a humane death while his victim did not ? Oh please move along mission.accomplished. He wouldn't torcher anyone else.
GunsNpolitics Crazy as hell, that's what's wrong with them. Can you imagine what this country would be like without the death penelty? These heartless inhumane scumbags are still committing murders with the death penelty in place. So what the meds took a little longer to kick in , but it did. To laugh at someone who he kidnaped then beat shoot multiple times while looking and laughing at her while she begged for her life wasn't good enough he ordered her to be buried alive. Off the this earth.he goes👆👆.
For all who think this botched execution is So awful listen to Lockett's confession. He gives great detail with out remorse, how he and accomplices in 1999 kidnapped, beat, shot her twice, and buried Stephanie Neiman while he could still hear her crying. His vain blew so the drugs did not go directly into his system. That was an act of Nature. That's what they call a tornado or storm.
Cruel and unusual punishment is illegal. We are to humanely execute people (if there is such a thing). Veins blowing isn’t unusual, especially during executions. Again, we shouldn’t be torturing people as we execute them, regardless of their crimes. That’s why we do this as humanely as possible.
Hi Cami, Do you think this was done on purpose, like having his concoction tampered with or do you believe it was an accident and that he did actually have a vein collapse and have a heart attack? I don’t know what to think?
@@Camibug I have no problem with a two legged rabid dog like Lockett suffering the way he did because he brought it upon himself.
He should have left Stephanie Nieman alone.
That’s what you call ‘karma’ 😈
He talks about like an achievement.
What makes me upset is that the victims are forgotten. They were killed without mercy, their families suffer. Alas the media only care about the criminals. Children need parents to teach the right and wrong so they don't end up in prison on death row.
Exactly. And you're right children do need parents that can teach. That requires the parents to be fully functional and healthy in a truly sick dysfunctional society. Pretty much never guaranteed
So he suffered less than his victims
jpalm32 I TOTALLY AGREE WITH U DARLIN!! 👍😉
Yes, because the United States Constitution that, judging by your avatar you’d like to make love to, expressly prohibits such suffering.
Dude chill
Well said
If execution is going to occur then it should be quick. Just because someone has tortured and killed another does not mean they in turn should be tortured. It's barbaric and lowers society to the killer's standard. It's not punishment then but revenge. Personally I think that execution is barbaric anyway.
My only regret regarding this particular "botched" execution, is that we could only do it once!
Let me offer a little advice for those that oppose the DP. Let this one go. You are not helping your cause or converting anyone with this particular case. Stick with the 2 or 3 cases where the execution may have involved an innocent person. This POS doesn't deserve your sympathy!
People like you should have to explain to George Stinney why he was executed. You're hypocrites. The blood of a 14 year old child is on you; as you support the very system that murdered him.
How sheltered do you have to be to think people are for torture. If that were true we’d have crucifixions. And it wouldn’t be unconstitutional. Or against international law. Or called unthinkable. Also, you have no idea what torture is, or the thought would be unbearable. Go outside for once and ask anyone.
Also, it's not about sympathy. It's just horrific. You don't understand because you don't understand what torture is. It's not about him.

Think about the three other women who lived through it. Stephanie was murdered while 3 others watched. All 4 were beaten and gang raped repeatedly by Lockett and his accomplices.
I know one of those women. She carries those scars with her for life.
No amount of suffering for this sad excuse for a human will ever be enough to repay what he took from those women.
I hope he feels every bit of it, even beyond the grave.
We all do, we all do. Anyone with half a heart can’t just accept this brutality, this INHUMANE, anti-democratic practice.
Very tragic indeed! Remember who's the real victim! She suffered much longer!
No she didn’t. Being buried alive isn’t painful. In any case, how would you know how long she suffered? Brainiac. Also, if you’re for torture, then you have no idea what torture is. Just torture yourself a little and you’ll see the thought is unbearable.
As others have said, this reporter does an excellent job of setting out the facts; she's well-trained and acquits herself honourably as a journalist.
Sympathetic feelings about the death of a human are understandable. Many people have enough empathy for life that no matter what the circumstances may be, they cannot understand nor accept responsibility for an extermination. I suggest, rather than observing an execution of a convicted murderer as though it was a sacrifice for mankind, we should provide a slide show during the execution, to emphasize remembrance of the life of the victim(s) so everyone can appreciate why the destruction of societies violators is necessary. Long live the memory of the victims lives lost.
U r so right!!! Everyone forgets about the victims but always seems to remember the murderer's.... And for some reason these monsters become famous ?!

Yes watching someone die is horrible, I don't care what they did. This reporter is just giving the details of what happened, it is her job.
It's not an either or situation for most people. Seeing anyone die a bad death, no matter who it is, is probably going to make a person feel some type of way about it that doesn't involve joy. Many people here that have no empathy for Lockett and how he died would probably feel differently if they actually saw it live and in person. It's easy to dismiss a person's death when it happens in a vacuum, but things change when you see death up close and personal like that. I have patients from all walks of life and I've yet to watch someone die where I felt absolutely nothing, even when the patient was a terrible person who caused harm to others. The day I feel nothing is the day I'll leave my profession behind.
When he chose to murder his victim God only knows what was going through his mind, but he must have thought that it was a good idea at the time.

He deserved a lot worse Lockett murdered Neiman on June 3, 1999. Stephanie, 19, had just
graduated from Perry High School, where she played the saxophone in the
band, two weeks earlier.
Neiman and a female friend had stopped to visit another friend
named Bobby Bornt, 23, who was at his Perry home with his 9-month-old
son.
Clayton Lockett, 23, his cousin, Alfonzo Lockett, 17 and Shawn
Mathis, 26, were already there. While Bornt's baby son slept in another
room, they had tied up and were beating Bornt because he owed money to
Clayton Lockett.
When Neiman's friend went inside the home they hit her with a shotgun then forced her to call Neiman into the home.
They repeatedly raped Neiman's 18-year-old friend, tied up the two
women then used Neiman's truck to take the adults and the baby to a
rural part of Kay County. When Neiman refused to give Clayton
Lockett the keys to her truck or provide him the alarm code, he ordered
Stephanie to kneel while Mathis dug a grave.
Lockett shot her and the gun jammed. While Neiman lay there
screaming, the attackers cleared the jam and Lockett shot her a second
time. Even though she was still breathing, he ordered the other two
attackers to drag her into the grave and bury her.
They threatened to kill Bobby Bornt and Neiman's friend if they went
to police, but they did anyway. Perry police arrested the three
attackers just three days later.
Murderer or not, no-one deserves this kind of death.
Blubber
In your opinion he was subhuman
yes they do. who the hell r u to say he does not deserve the death sentence. r u family of the victim?
NEXT
TheSpasticAvenger He had to die because he took a life, so that is his punishment
Its irellevant, one atrocity was comitted by a piece of shit who got the death penalty, this atrocity was comitted by a supposedly civilized society and no one was punished.
If they make the death penalty any more " humane " , you will have people paying to be gently put out of their misery because of old age or crazy suicidal people. You guys make murderers sleep better at night , them knowing you will have a heart come execution night.
We all ready have that problem in Canada
I'm sorry ... but who gives a flying BEEEEEP if his execution was "HUMANE" ... 😵 ... DID HE GIVE HIS VICTIM HAVE A "HUMANE EXECUTION"...??? From what I've read Stephanie was given ANYTHING BUT A " HUMANE EXECUTION" ... and YES SHE WAS EXECUTED...!!! When someone is forced TO WATCH THEIR OWN GRAVE BEING DUG FOR 20 MINUTES ... knowing 100% full well that it's THEIR GRAVE BEING DUG RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM ... and then they're shot twice - laughed at by their Executioner - and then BURIED WHILE STILL ALIVE ... I THINK IT'S SAFE TO SAY THAT STEPHANIE'S EXECUTION WAS ANYTHING BUT "HUMANE"...!!! So I'm sorry if I couldn't care less if this BEAST WAS EXECUTED " HUMANELY"...!!!
Weenuts0007 you are correct 100 percent correct
@Weenuts0007: ua-cam.com/video/oHg5SJYRHA0/v-deo.html
Weenuts0007
Is that what this is suppose to be about? That he suffered???
Weenuts0007- One strong criticism of death penalty is that some convicted of murder are really innocent.. This often happens if the police,prosecutor face a high profile ,sensational case.. in which there is public pressure for justice
The difference is that some of us are human beings, not cold blooded butchers and this is why we give a BEEEEP.
This is the best justice we could ask for, struggling to breathe just like his victim was!
But we didn't do it, I feel God let it happen.( Struggling to breathe.). At least it's not us.
If he’s dead then it wasn’t botched good job Oklahoma keep em coming
Anybody remember Anne Pressly ? The young beautiful anchor who worked for KATV in Little Rock, Arkansas -
She was beaten to death with a garden tool by Curtis LaVelle Vance. She was only 26. So this Curtis LaVelle Vance - he was charged with capital murder, rape, residential burglary and theft. If the criminal winced a little bit or felt a little pain, well think about it. We're not talking about apples to apples here.
Aaww poor f***baby ,😒REALLY!?!? yeah Stephanie struggled to breath too in that hole he threw her in after being shot twice by that monster.then buried ALIVE!!! At least he got the chance to say his last words,see family and friends ....At least he wasn't taunted about his impending death ,beat tortured,put in a grave ,shot twice,and buried alive!! I can't believe anyone felt sorry for this piece of shit! If it was your family members he did these horrible things to you may not be so sympathetic to him "squirming a little before he HUMANELY drifted off to sleep! He deserved ALOT MORE PAIN than he got after what he did to Stephanie!! She WAS TOTALLY INNOCENT ,,DID NOTHING TO ANYONE,,, AND HE DIDNT CARE ABOUT HER PAIN AND SUFFERING AT ALL!!!!! I THINK THEY SHOULD FO THE SAME THING TO THESE MURDERING ASSHOLES AS THEY DID THEIR VICTIMS!!! Imagine the drop in crime rates if these pieces of garbage knew they were going to get the same death that they perpetrated against their victims!
Stephanie DID NOT deserve this,she was a kind good hearted, loving, selfless amazing woman ,And this monster will never do this to anyone else thank goodness...
created created well as well I feel for you...if you were wrongfully accused and put on death row....but I have a good reason for my feelings and I make ZERO apologies for it....on February 14th 1992 at 5:45 when I was 8 months pregnant with my daughter I was awakened by a loud knock at my front door....it was several officers ,2 of which I knew very well and we're good friends with, when I saw them sobbing I knew it wasn't good...an ANIMAL a no good sorry worthless piece of trash that happened to live 3 houses down from my aunt and uncle, decided to kill the man he lived with,shoot his wife, reload his gun and made his way to the only house with lights on ,. My aunt and uncle were of course awake because she worked for the postal service and was up making coffee...he came to their kitchen door, kicked the door in,...shot my aunt, when my uncle ran out of the bathroom to see what was going on he was shot in the face....then he saw my aunt crawling towards the hall with the little bit of life she still had in her ,trying to warn her two sons and comfort her husband laying in the hallway dead...so he laughed at her, mocked her ,because she couldn't scream but was trying to wake her kids all the time he made fun of her with the gun to her forehead, he then shot her again killing her.. he went into Bryan's room, he had headphones in so didn't hear and was still asleep. He was a couple of weeks away from being married to his HS sweetheart...he put the gun to his head while he layed there sleeping and was no threat at all . And shot him in the head killing him instantly. ..by this time he woke the youngest son 15 yrs old...and as Brad opened his bedroom door he saw this evil monster coming for him and he grabbed the end on the rifle and fought with him, he blew his hand apart ,but he got away ....as he was running for his life he slipped on his parents blood and fell several times trying to get away...he made it out and ran to his sister's home in the same subdivision,...she was 9 months pregnant at the time and thankfully her husband was home and ran to the house to stop this asshole but he had stolen their keys and what little cash they had and was long gone....when he was about to be executed there was controversy over the drug being used on him as well...but THANKFULLY that didn't stop them from killing the bastard...look it up if you like his name was Jason Williams....we had to tell this 15 year old when he came out of surgery that not only was his parents gone, but his mentor, his idol his big brother who he looked up to was also dead...he had no idea ...that shattered him...he has been through hell on Earth since that day...nightmares , PTSD , depression...thankfully he was strong willed and broke through it....but this piece of shit took 3 beautiful amazing people from our family and left us destroyed, all because '" his ex-wife was refusing to take him back that morning and told him he couldn't have the drugs he had hidden in his house"' that's the reason he took our family and another man that was kind enough to take him in....so you will have to excuse me if I have strong opinions on the matter and believe that the man that took our family along with all the other GUILTY pieces of trash like him DO NOT DESERVE A PAINLESS DEATH AT ALL!!!!!! QUITE THE CONTRARY !!!!! I WISH HE WOULD HAVE JUMPED UP SCREAMING IN THE MOST EXCRUCIATING PAIN IMAGINABLE SO WE COULD LOOK AT HIM THROUGH THE GLASS AND LAUGH AT HIM AND MOCK HIM LIKE HE DID MY AUNT AS SHE TRIED TO SAVE THE LIVES OF HER CHILDREN!!!!!!!but unfortunately, he just went to sleep.... period....doesn't seem fair to me at all!!!!!! But maybe I'm a bit biased seeing as how I had to walk in a church and see three coffins in a row...and say goodbye to those beautiful amazing selfless, hard working people who would have given that asshole money, a ride anywhere had he just asked that morning....but he thought killing them was a better choice....so I'm so sorry but I ran out of sympathy for people like that on Feb 14th 1992 at 5:45 am
created created shut up bleeding heart he'd not innocent. There was overwhelming evidence and he confessed twice and once to a family member.
Bring back the electric chair. I remember when Ted Bundy was electrocuted. The DJ on the radio said, right before they flipped the switch, for everyone to turn on all their lights and electrical devices so Bundy would get the least amount of electricity possible, i.e., make it take longer.
not sick, it is funny.
That's why a rheostat knob should be improvised on the chair of "old sparky", the new clappers would be to quick.
Outside power is not used for executions. The prison has it's own power supply (generators) for this purpose.
art deco he didn’t die by electric chair, he died by firing squad. He says it himself
That's. Awesome!!
Can this reporter do at least a 12 minute report on the VICTIM and her life? I'd love to hear that... never forget the victim s. Crime doesn't pay..
This young lady does not sway me. She was there as an approved witness. The victim of the murder had no one but her murderers. I wonder how these witnesses would feel if they had a chance to actually witness the murder.
It is not even a fact that he felt anything. I had general anaesthesia and swear to god I felt nothing and remembered nothing but doctor's assistants told that i was swearing, trying to grab staff members and was acting like I am not ok with what is happening and was trying to exit this situation somehow...
These deaths are nothing to being killed in combat, so I feel nothing for him should not have buried her alive. If he had shot and killed her instantly she suffered so he deserves to suffer as well. Another thing if you lack the constitution for justice do not attend justice just like murder and rape is brutal in it's punishment as it should be for crimes of this magnitude.
Execution or "murder by committee" lessens society. It has nothing to do with lacking the constitution for justice. It isn't punishment but revenge. We as a society should be better than that even if some individuals aren't.
They can put down a horse with one injection, yet a fully staffed execution chamber makes a screw up like this.
To prevent botched executions, I think they should just insert a central line instead of regular IV. The funeral home can also use this central line for embalming.
im glad he suffered....i bet he didn't give that poor girl mercy
I don’t understand why it’s so hard to put someone out. I’ve never had trouble going under for surgery.
Sometimes there is tho.
Sometimes the wrong medicine kicks in first. The one to paralized you so you are awake for a minute and you're not supposed to be.
this girl is a compassionate human being. she has feelings for others
Sometimes EVIL takes longer to kill .
These people who are executed, are being put to death for heinous crimes. They had no compassion for their victims. It will be hard for anyone with a sense of right and wrong, to be moved by this woman's words, concerning any discomfort a murderer might feel during execution. Don't do the crime, you won't have to pay the price.
Nothing compared to what he did to his victim.
"The men beat [Stephanie Niemann] and used duct tape to bind her hands and cover her mouth. Even after being kidnapped and driven to a dusty country road, Neiman didn't back down when Lockett asked if she planned to contact police...Neiman was forced to watch as Lockett's accomplice, Shawn Mathis, spent 20 minutes digging a shallow grave in a ditch beside the road. Her friends saw Neiman standing in the ditch and heard a single shot.
Lockett returned to the truck because the gun had jammed. He later said he could hear Neiman pleading, "Oh God, please, please" as he fixed the shotgun.
The men could be heard "laughing about how tough Stephanie was" before Lockett shot Neiman a second time.
"He ordered Mathis to bury her, despite the fact that Mathis informed him Stephanie was still alive."

She's beautiful. I could tell she wanted to cry a couple of times. That's the love in her heart for other human beings.
she is a cry baby... boo hoo grow up, wonder how she would feel if she had been on the other end of clayton's shotgun? Buried alive for no reason other then he wanted to kill and showed 0 mercy. or maybe if she were the one being raped and beaten? Its easy to say how awful but he deserved it, in fact his death was easy compared to his victim, who by the way was just 19.
Brenda Trump ph really?
You take a life for no reason you give your life for the same. Lockett’s humane death was because of his own bad choices.
Don't be ridiculous. You don't know what she is thinking. She has a resting bitch face.
stop reading those pocket love story books
Propofol followed by Fentanyl should do the trick.
Tim Tucker Hell just the propofol alone would do it. We use it on patients, given by weight, to test their AICDs. Blown vein caused MI? What BS.
None will work if the vein is infiltrated. Whoever started the IV screwed up.
Tim Tucker I believe it’s been found “ not cost effective” as well as “ difficult to obtain”
He suffered... just like his victim.....justice served!
His botched execution became HIS story and he doesn’t deserve a story. This day was justice for his victim’s family and loved ones.
the woman talking is so beautiful.
Good genes!
Cute chick.
Exactly what is the purpose of giving a moment by moment detailed review of the execution ?
Oh thats right this is You Tube which is basically an entertainment site.
Thank you for giving us that moment by moment account of his death. After such a vivid account you almost feel you were there.
Such entertainment is not always easy to find so I'd like to personally thank that reporter for helping us all feel like we were there.
I'm surprised that Pay-per-view didn't get in on this.
And BTW FYI....there is no script for an execution. So the only way it can be "botched" is if he didn't die.
Young lady, you were poised, professional and impartial in this video. This is not meant to be political in any way, but in the pantheon of reporters who made it big in your chosen career, nearly all of them achieved that level of success by covering a major story. Indeed 12 alone did so by way of covering the OJ trial. But who am i telling. Just as easily though, one can fall from their perch by reporting untruths. Falsehoods (see Claas Relotius), exaggerations (see Brian Williams), and outright lies (see hundreds of political journalists. My life coach advice: 1. Use this experience to create further dialogue on the issue - whether you voice a sharp opinion or not. 2.Continue insisting on accurate information, whether incoming or out. 3. Ask hard questions both fair and unapologetically. Sure, you want to be liked and respected, but it's not a popularity contest. A friend once told me years ago that if you try to please everyone, you wont please ANYONE. 4. Hold people to what they've said previously and be prepared to back it up. 5. Whether you strive to be totally accurate but get scooped here or there, or if you want to be Johnny on the spot but have to later retract something or other, pick one and commit to it. Be absolutely consistent. If you do these, and some might add to the list but these tenets are something you develop a name for, you will almost always get what you're in the business for: the trust of your peers, viewers sources and the figures whom you interview and then on whom you report.
Are you mansplaining lol
I work in EMS (Paramedic) people don't die of massive hear attacks due to a "vein failure". I actually laughed when I heard them say that.
So the meds leaked in his body
She is the Best Reporter I have ever watched tell a story! I love the way she mimics the situations
What of his victim,did he show any concern regarding how she died?,to hell with him,he still had an easy death by comparison.
Just imagine if the scumbags knew they were going to be tortured to death like there victims. Just imagine if they knew that when they went to jail it was bread and water and nothing else. Just imagine how much the crime rate would drop in a short period of time?
It would not. In coutries that have capital punishment crimes rates are actually higher than in those that do not. So, your babbling is just a rightist's wet dream.
Sorry but no sympathy for someone who caused someone else's death and pain like he did. If these drugs are so controversial just do the firing squad or hanging or something and be done.
sounds like tghe lady being interviewed is tryingto slowly build up suspense before telling the full story which could be told in a few seconds. Psychopath croaked good riddance.
That’s why she’s a journalist and you are not :)
When animals are put to sleep, it takes a few seconds. I've no pity for these awful people but why does it take so long and a cocktail of drugs?!
Carol Coates animals get a cocktail too. At least 2 drugs....
Carol Coates follow the money and the Libs.
What's wrong with a big old heavy machine press, one strike from a large enough press, a head could instantly obliterated, absolutely no chance of any pain, a bit messy but humane.
SPLAT! All the witnesses in the front row would need to be supplied with rain ponchos.
Can't say I feel any sympathy for this guy
David Lutz if Jesus is real and like this guy then Jesus Is evil. This monster deserved what he got.
mr finch. Can't say I don't disagree, dude! :)
David Lutz dumbass comnent.
I Agree David, too many people think they judge peoples hearts its extremely bad for them. May God have mercy on them
Sounds like she's reporting on a cricket match or a rugby match.
Why does she seem so upset over what happened to the criminal ?
Lets not forget the real victim here. Stephanie Neiman was 19 years old when he kidnapped, beaten, shot twice and then buried alive. I’m pretty sure she experienced pain and terror on a scale much bigger than this man. Regardless of rather you agree with the death penalty or not, their is no way to paint this man in a victimized role.
They take for ever to tell the stories I get tired of waiting
There is no circumstance that would cause me to witness an execution if I could get out of it. Even if they were instantly zapped out of existence by a phaser set on kill. I sat through a life sentence verdict for the murderer of a loved one and it didnt make me feel better. Quite the opposite. Its just like double waste of lives.
That said, I still dont feel one bit of sympathy for this guy. 17 minutes is a short death compared to cancer or copd.
This woman acts like he was just in for surgery.But why don't they use propofol&versed?.they use it for surgery all the time!..
This guy murdered a girl or did she forget?.
We are hearing more about how painful his execution was but less about how painful stephenie's brutal murder was. Criminals have more rights than their victims. What is the purpose of this video?
When they say execution has been halted that means stopped. Execution carried out
Maybe she would prefer him being put down like the murder he committed. He got of easy compared to what he did . While they tell these stories it should be told what they did to get the death sentence. Then people can decide if the punishment fits the crime. IMO, This one certainly did.
He likely had a high tolerance to drugs.
That is an astute observation. That hadn't occurred to me. Very perceptive.
dd poipoi experience no doubt
Tolerance isn't a permanent issue. That's why addicts od after being clean then relapsing
When you're nervous your veins and arteries constrict and recede, which makes it difficult to find a vein. Being executed is a very anxiety inducing process for someone being subjected to it, to say the least, and often their veins are difficult to get the needle into. It isn't a particularly small needle either like the kind at the hospital, it's a thick caveter needle. They had to stick the needle into his dick by the sound of it, on his report it just said "groin area" as suitable veins elsewhere could not be found. The stuff they inject you with to knock you unconscious isn't enough usually to render you truly unconscious, it heavily sedates you so you can barely move but it doesn't dull or stop pain. The second and third drugs, if injected while you're still conscious and able to feel pain, give you the sensation of burning. The lethal injection is essentially akin to being burned alive at the stake for those subjected to it; the only reason they aren't screaming and thriving in agony is because they're tranquilized by the first drug, midazolam
Cedric Coe all correct. And medical professionals present
Cruel and unusual
How do you know all the details?
if he died then it sounds like it went just fine
If only reporters could give this type of compassion and attention to detail to the victims of people like this animal. Could care less about a “botched” execution.
Me neither, just don't call them "animals". An animal kills just to feed itself or protect it's territory or off spring. 😢
I’ve got no sympathy for him.
He lost that when he killed Stephanie, and the way he carried on with his disgusting behaviour during him time in prison adds to it.
The world is a better place without him
Sounds like how all executions should go......
