jerry dividends from virginia was actually the person who would execute
people in virginia and he has executed sixty two people ont he made a career
out of it and he is now uh... up
activist against the death penalty
now the reason why he's not as busy as a death penalty is because he came very
close to executing a man
no was
proven innocent
so that was a life-changing situation for him because he realized all my god
we're sentencing people to death when we're not absolutely one hundred percent
sure that they are guilty of the crime the reason why he was in favor of the
death penalty to begin with is also really fascinating because
he witnessed
ulduar main get murdered in front of him he was at a party
um... this girl he was interested in was standing by a window and someone who had
a diamond us opened fire and just started shooting randomly and shot and
killed this
person in front of him
so that was passed in his memory and and that's why he was motivated to do it he
did for a career but when you realize that we're convicting people roughly
convicting people
he changed his mind but there was another twist to this story has been
there is a twist that story so acts he was convicted himself not of *** but
for money laundering and he served four years in prison for it
now he can take you maintain says and innocence
so
you know he says he doesn't do it but
he didn't do it but he did sir four years in prison for it
and i think there's more relevant i'll be honest with you i don't know i don't
plan on believing they face the death penalty for you know i know but to many
you go to prison also needed on the sale of prisoners are going to a special
evening was innocent
but all the sun is all i got i get you could be an asset
yeah but that's what they were telling you for decades right any didn't believe
it and then on some of the what happened to you
you know i don't know the man's politics obviously i mean this is something that
would publish it all the time which is
well offline guide
tricia make freezing some republicans as a cricket
they go to jail
and in the lobby for prison reform but do you know what that is in prison i
didn't know that the allelic about it turns out
was eluted also the
empathy for those people uh... again is not about road them around i guess
politics at all but i think that once he thought he was innocent
uh... changes views on executing sixty two people yeah how could be true and
and you know what may be
and the fact that seeks the respect is
what he needed you know if if that's what it took for him to change his mind
and i'm totally fine with that
it firsthand experience is what was necessary i'm totally fine with that the
important thing is he realizes that this is the wrong way to go about uh... you
know justice in this country so i i'm totally in favor of changing his mind
and i'd i'd do like the fact that
the country's changing when it comes to the death penalty people aren't as
vengeful
out when it comes to these individuals
figure it's not that i want you being with us for and i get that for story
about how he saw a girl gets shot a problem
i am because of that i greatly
as what should be based on the right guys right in the upper hand
and i say i was wrong about it
his now look ait bio we see welts sickness
i'd believe disposition we insist that fallon out that we're executing the
wrong people because of the d_n_a_ testing right
but i should have known before relieve meridian exactly right we're gonna be
burt
and it was part of my
the naivete of my
avila whom i use were actually believe that cops at their jobs and prosecutors
or honest people
before iraq perhaps it was a rarity here that corruption was a real red onslow
you don't belong to a lot more in the lot more news in real life cop
that's been dictate that
now people are paddy and all they care about is their own careers
if somebody gets executed so they can not another
victory in their belt that leadership
sick how you know
indifferent
people or so often
the really fascinating about david's is that
he turn to god okay and i know you're gonna rant against that but i'd like to
heeded because he started focusing on you-know-what christianity really
teaches and does the point i have always tried to make about conservatives
your conservative you believe in your religion right your religion is against
the death penalty
faxes like women at the start the bible really says you're not supposed to
go after cancels a freakin people you know because the kill them
simon
announced kennedy came to that realization because a lot of people
don't
i've five nine two libyans suspect
now outlook it's airlines via randall duke cunningham who found jesus on his
way to the his jail cell
and mean while he was full of a name and address is there more interesting
cunningham but he had long throughout the laundry bag full of cash
and focused front yard before he went to the press covers all we've got all good
candidates i think you can fit in to be honest with you
because i think that what you just admitted that your nightly about
prosecutors in your naive about our justice system and you know once you
write about it as well
and then you really think you know what works only innocent people it didn't
take me being put in jail it didn't take needing in a similar situation before i
figure it out
what height
my eyes were open
by evidence their articles i read not just about people we executed wrongly
but about how often prosecutors and cops would be corrupt
how they do systematically as minorities in the country
as a minority of the country should be held a lot more aware of that
especially bridges here which is a missile
so i i don't want a total jerk told one of the same time
it's it's a little late after sixty two excuse that doesn't matter though she
woulda been executed anyway it's not like
was a pivotal think he was just on
he was the last step in the house p he's definitely remorseful and he's
dedicating his life to speaking out against the death penalty right now nine
item christian christian thing forget
yeah wanted to do that designer first
intrepid and by the way that i was a sailor's
the admit jesus christ
at the death penalty
so
that would be one good reason for christians
they oppose the death penalty
if you're an actual christian
