- The Story: Alan Austin's Notebook on The Execution
In 1995, we set out to do a story about Capital Punishment -- a macro-examination of an execution's effect on all who take part in it or have a stake in it. What happens to the warden and the guards who feed and tend the man only to send him off to die? What happens to the chaplain whose job is to minister to terrified people that the chaplain's own institution is killing? To the relatives of the man's victims -- do they gain some comfort or "closure" by the death of the murderer? To the relatives of the murderer -- is their grief or agony a fair price to pay for it all? Above all, we would get to know the condemned man, learn everything we could about him and his crimes, and record what happens to him as he sees his death approaching. Most Americans have made it clear that they favor the Death Penalty. But support or opposition to it seems based largely on abstract arguments and slogans about crime and punishment. What if the whole process were to be given human faces at close range? Might it have an affect on our opinions about Capital Punishment?

That poor old man still crying over losing his brother after all this time breaks my 💜. RIP May God bless you.
Mother of God
I know. I cried over that. I felt so sorry for that poor man..bless his heart
My thoughts too ! Made me want to cry for the this older man who loved his brother so much and wanted some relief to make things right. I certainly enjoyed this. My condolences to the family and friends this man killed. Two men brutally murdered by this man who could talk about it so freely as if it was a normal thing to do. Taking a life….
@gailmattingly9604 ME too it makes me miss my brother so much
I hate all this fake Christian commentary. Would Christ approve of the death penalty or would your false prophet southern mega church approve
At the end...old man Collier strolling back up to the house, with a strong stride, at 97 years old.... Old men like that always amaze me. My grandfather was a catfish farmer in Southeast Texas. He passed away at 100 years old, and worked on his farm until just a few months before he passed. I remember being in my early 40s and my grandpa in his mid 90s...running circles around me when I'd be there to help him. The last day we spent time alone together, we were feeding his cows. He was 99 years old, throwing hay out and enjoying himself thoroughly. We sat and watched his new prized bull, he was a huge bull with quite a personality. We just sat and laughed as we watched him. I will be 53 next month... I hope to go that long, and hope to find enjoyment every day the way my grandfather did. He out lived my grandmother by about 23 years. He missed her every day, but he still loved life...and lived it to the fullest.
My best friend in high-school had a great grandfather that was 103 years old. We went to visit him one day, and he was outside mowing on his riding lawnmower, in extreme Texas summer heat, not phased a bit.
I've known quite a few folks who made it that far in life. They've often outlived all their people, they've been through loss and tragedy...but they always seem to still have a zest for life.
Bull! He's a. Manilulater!
Lots of murderers in Texas though
That's great, Scott. My paternal grandfather was a prison officer in Sri Lanka for 40 years - saying prison rehabilitates. He mentored his 13 grandkids, passed away at 95 (Christmas 2014) and I still miss him.
That was a great story. I’m only 68 and can barely move. I ve had two heart attacks and two serious crashes. One car crash and one motorcycle crash. In total I’ve broken 23 bones Arthritis has me pretty bad but I can see myself going downhill. Don’t think I’ll make it much longer but I’m not giving up
@@anthonystramella7018 ... Man thats a tough one. Just try to do what you, every bit of movement helps. Even if its not much. Try to be as repetitive as possible, every day. Even if its only 20 minutes of focused movement.
Find things that still give you joy. Don't measure yourself by the old you. Do things to keep your mind active...even if its just word searches or puzzles, maybe read some books. Listen to your favorite music.
My dad lived to 84, and was riddled with rheumatoid arthritis. He also had a rare disease in his esophagus. He lived with me and my family for the last year of his life, and was bed ridden, on a feeding tube and an oxygen machine. But he still sat in bed and did his very minimal leg exercise and arm exercises. Most people in his shape would have died 15 years sooner. But he just kept going.
He died only because he caught the flu, Covid, and pneumonia all at the same time...and he almost had that beat, but the pneumonia just wouldn't ever fully go away.
Just try to do things to get your blood flowing. Find joy in the simple things. We spend our lives busting our asses, wishing we had a little down time to enjoy simpler moments. So you can do that now.
Eat healthy food, stay hydrated....and try to stay motivated to do a little something for yourself each day. Get a little sunshine on your face, it does wonders.
seeing that old man cry over his murdered brother really hits home.
Wow. After watching this, I'm reminded of how good TV actually was when the adults were still in charge. Kudos to the reporter... a real pro. Thanks for sharing.
ruclips.net/video/-0d2LTrmy_A/видео.html another excellent documentary by the same people and reporter (Al Austin)
So true; no agenda, lots of facts.
Couldn't agree more brother, "When the adults were still in charge" you said it.
Todays reporter - "Mr. Boggess... Please tell us why Donald Trump convinced you to do these horrible things."
I agree 👍
What a total slap to the family members when he shows a photograph
of a tombstone of one of his victims..But to him it’s a trophy owning
that photo. Sick…🤮🤮🤮
Totally agree with that. Absolutely should *not be allowed.*
He's laughing up his sleeve, having that in his collection of "precious memories." What a total bast*rd.
@@rubytuesday5412 Agreed…🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Someone should have called the Warden and protested about that. Total disrespect and it is a trophy. Its disgusting.
@@cathyt144 Total psycho. Mental. I feel bad for the victims family.
i never thought of that oh he disgusting those poor relatives that should been taken away from him.........................
He was manipulative, arrogant and self righteous to the end. I generally do not support the death penalty but the more I listen to his mouth the better I feel that he was executed. I love how he was disgusted by being buried in the prison cemetery; as far as I'm concerned his ashes should have been flushed down a toilet.
Thank you for proving by example the fact that this penalty is meted out for purely arbitrary reasons - you’re against it ‘generally’ but because you have found good reason to detest him, the death penalty is OK with you. And isn’t that exactly the problem, why not just call it what it is: revenge? If you study the legal justice system you will find that the concept of revenge does not appear. We are supposed to be better than that …
100% 'so dam manipulative, iv met ppl like him n they even look a lil similar
not an ounce of sympathy...no more 3 squares a day thanks to the taxpayer
He also really enjoys telling the story of his crimes. It’s like he’s inspired by his own horrible deeds. He’s disgusting.
@@localfan8174 Just like the BTK killer.
The way that old man's brother tried to stifle his tears. Just heartbreaking
Maren how could I find your case
He shouldn't have committed the crime 😮
PBS continues to produce some of the best content to this day… yet, this is undoubtedly one of their best pieces and should be watched by anyone who is a fan of PBS, documentaries, American history and humanity in general.
A gifted journalist. This is the best story about the death penalty I’ve ever seen. We see that psychopaths rarely have remorse for their evil deeds. Like a malignant cancerous tumor, the narcissism continues to grow.
If they truly repented and asked God to forgive them they would be saved but you wonder how many of them actually do that.
Check out the Wander Jean story. It's just as rivetting
"Psychopaths rarely have remorse" Yeah.. That's exactly how Antisocial Personality Disorder (psychopathy) works. That's the disease. They're literally incapable of having empathy or remorse. That part of their brain is broken.
That's kinda like saying "These depressed people are rarely happy". Lol
@@Daash27’The Execution of Wanda Jean’, made by Liz Garbus and Rory Kennedy is a STELLAR piece of work!
Perhaps even riveting!
Love & Light from Miami Shores🦚
Stay safe mate✌🏼🌎
Have a care for one another✨🌿
Agree. For them, finding religion and gaining the attention of journalists and anti-death penalty activists becomes their new juice. But they never really feel remorse. Their executions garner more attention than most people will ever have when they pass. But they do face a reckoning, ultimately.
It's heartbreaking to see a 95 year old man cry. Especially when he's having to relive the very moment he saw his murdered brother. Damn heartbreaking 💔😭!!!!
Yes it is.
"The second murder occurred..." No, it did not "occur." You COMMITTED a second murder.
So he was right the first time "the second murder occurred"!
Yes you're correct
You obviously don't know the definition of occur
Using the word "occured" takes himself away from the crimes and being guilty.
Exactly 👍. 🤗
Journalism was really serious back then...to follow a single story for 3 yrs
_When her efforts don't satisfy him, he takes her off his list._
Speaks volumes about this "saved" man.
I had the opportunity to talk with the lady. She was very happy to be able to tell me that she was not satisfied at all with the way, this documentary portrayed her and the situation. That it had been differently. Another example that this film is not accurate in each and every way.
You clowns can't mistreat and psycho analyze people like that. And make false diagnosis. You have no merits. You are not medical professionals
I seen that......good observation..
I find it quite amusing how it took death row for him to… "so called, Find Jesus!"
Not! 😂
@@justjonni9330 Some people really do but if he's a sociopath than it's not likely.
It doesn't take a Body language expert to tell Clifford has no remorse for his crimes
He is a monster!!!!!!!
Agree no remorse at all he took great delight in what he did. He didn't even cry one tear for what he did.
The man who did this documentary surely you saw how cold and calculated this murderers man was.
American justice surely is wrong in letting him pick his own execution dad, once again he won what a disgrace
@@lesleyallinson8738 I agree. It is wrong to let him pick his own execution *dad* 😳
He was an extremely *murderers* man.
Yep he still thought in his empty head that he was in control. Also the religion only comes when they are caught and to be executed, all part of the act. Just look how he thanked his old friends, they were just pawns in his game also.
Yet another mind-reader on RUclips. If I could read minds I certainly wouldn't be wasting time analysing dead people on RUclips. Tell me, as a member of YAP (RUclips Armchair Psychologists), does it ever cross your mind that when someone is thrown in prison - onto Death Row no less - and has to live with the consequences of their actions EVERY ... SINGLE ... DAY, for years and years and years, surrounded by murderers, that it might have an impact on how they feel about the crime they committed, and how that might come across on video?
The live in woman that gave him the name of his second victim should have gotten something as well.
Yup
I thought that myself, theres no doubt someone was going to get it but it was down to her who the second victim was.
@@garystragar2490 💯
She could have prevented the second murder 🙁
I think she got off because she testified against him so there may have been a deal there
This guy *still* takes some level of pride in the horrible things he did. You can hear it in his voice and see it in his mannerisms.
Yes, he sure isn’t sorry, he deserves to be where he is.
@@juliesprik9479: I don’t believe in the death penalty. But keeping these dangerous weirdos off the streets? ABSOLUTELY! They shouldn’t have access or opportunity to harm anyone else, including other inmates.
I thought so too
It's like he's telling a funny antidote about a night on the town He was smirking
@@juliesprik9479 Julie - If he accepted Jesus as his Personal Lord & Savior - If he believed Jesus was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died for Our sins on the Cross and Resurrected the 3rd. Day and is now sitting at the right hand of the Father in Heaven. All he had to do is ASK Jesus to forgive him for sinning against Him and REPENTING of his sins - truly repenting from the heart - then YES he is in Heaven. Julie - You must do the same thing if you want to go to Heaven when you die. In the Book of John - Chapter 3 - Verse 3 - Jesus says “Ye must be Born Again to enter the Kingdom of God.. Clifford Boggess accepted Jesus and is now enjoying the Glory of Heaven. Even if he had killed dozens of people - God would have forgiven him. The ONLY SIN that cannot be forgiven is: Refusing to accept Jesus as your Personal Lord and Savior. Hitler could have been forgiven but chose not to, Going to Hell for all Eternity is a CHOICE… I accepted Jesus September 17, 1997 at 11:30 p.m. My wife and I at the same time.. One of the things Jesus said in the Sermon on the Mount is: If you hate someone - that is equal to murder…. You must repent and forgive.. It’s not easy to be a Christian but the alternative is Forever and ever in the Burning Lake of Fire where the body never dies and you have your memory and all 5 senses forever and ever and ever… Without End.. PLEASE give your heart to the Lord. I hope to meet you in Heaven someday..
"If you kill this man, you kill the little boy that made this hand print."
Smh
That's a dirty ass, manipulative move by the defense attorney
I think that public defender is full of complete CRAP!! THE BOY WHO MADE THAT HAND PRINT, SURELY WASN'T THAT LITTLE BOY WHEN HE DECIDED TO END THOSE TWO INNOCENT ELDERLY GENTLEMEN'S LIVES... CAN'T COMPARE THE TWO!! THE DAY THAT MAN DECIDED TO MURDER WAS THE DAY THAT LITTLE BOY DIED!!😠
its also true
Yeah I agree. But it’s really all he had. Obviously it didn’t work so that’s good.
@@discipleG3101 god? never questioned? what alternate reality do you live in?
That was the weakest defense I ever heard. No one would buy that load of crap. Lmao
Did his victims get 20 years to try to appeal their deaths
Well usa doesn’t have a good track record when it comes to imprison innocent people. Or killing people.
The appeals process isn’t there to protect killers, it’s there to protect the innocent.
They didnt even get a minute.
Exactly
of course not, god apparently didnt forgive them and seal their position in heaven like he did with this guy
Have the death penalty or don’t but if you have it do it quickly after the sentence is given.
This business of 20 years of appeals is a joke.
Justice delayed is justice denied.
Nah. Just don’t have it period.
@Hoblem and that is the one and only reason that's needed to abolish the death penalty... only north Korea Saudi Arabia China and America have the death penalty.. im pretty sure that's true.
Right, I don’t understand why they wait so long. Doesn’t it cost more to keep them alive? Just kill them.
I totally agree with your comment.

@@brandonbelongstocharlottef1798 Yup, he got the medicine that he needed to cure him.
@@brandonbelongstocharlottef1798 Absolutely. Not even up for debate.
PBS is a lefty network. Always making excuses for crime.
All his proceeds up until his death should go to help victims. And that should be his wish as well if he truly felt remorse for the crimes or the families of the victims.
Clifford is only concerned about himself, he said he will take the proceeds and be cremated and wants to be sprinkled in a grand way in Fance . He still sees himself as a special human !!! He is disgusting. As he said he is " going willingly " . He enjoyed being the " savoir " to the murdered family with Bible versed. Narcissistic behavior till the end. I enjoyed this program but at the same time I am mad at myself because he LOVED this platform. He gets so much enjoyment reliving the heinous crimes and the hurt and torture he is still controlling on the victims families and loved one.
You are absolutely correct!!
@@pamelajefferies3197 I am Pamela Indo. My beloved husband, John, died about 3 years ago. I agree with everything that you said about Clifford.
ALL my sympathy goes to the victims and their families, loved ones, and friends. None of my sympathies go to the perpetrators/murderers! I am Pam Indo, not John Indo.
Clifford seems flip and shallow every time his mouth flaps open!!!
This dude has zero remorse 😡
Most don’t
The creepiest thing about this man is his half smile as he talks. He gives me the chills.
It's not as if the victims and perpetrator were "evenly" "matched"- like in a cage fight.
That smile is called dupers delight.
@@cherokeegirl5908
He was such a horrible, unlikable character .
No redeeming qualities at all, imo .
Although I never had any interaction with a Bonafide murderer myself, I met many felons on the outside who "converted to Jesus" before getting out. With most of them there was always something different about them I couldn't put my finger on so trust your intuitions I say.
He was a very great man. He wasn't judgemental at all unlike other people. He had a lot of compassion and empathy and helped me a lot when I was in prison I got to talk and engage him. He taught me a lot. It's hard for me to talk and articulate myself due to my medical condition but it's as if it didn't matter with him
Interesting, he said things like: I know it sounds horrible, I was shocked ... He doesn't know or feel anything. He knows it sounds horrible to us and he is fascinated not shocked. Good that he's gone!
Psychopaths learn to pretend
Seems a bit strange to me. Out here, you have people that have never committed any crime, trying to live an honest life, yet really struggle to stay warm / keep a roof over their heads etc. What a strange world we live in?
And homeless war veterans that are homeless.
america!
Huntsville prison inmate Brian Price was the chef who prepared Cliffords last meal. He prepared 189 last meals during his 15 year sentence. He published a book called meals to die for. Its a very interesting read as he recalls every meal, and every inmate he served
Thanks for the suggestion I would love his book
@@laurataylor8179 I just ordered it. It was $60 used oof. Nothing like a good tangible book though.
That's a clever title
It's amazing to see how death row operated and how freely the imates walked around! The death row they got now, that is definitely inhumane & demonic.
That girlfriend wasn't as innocent as she wants us to believe. She did not need to tell Boggess about Hazelwood. But she did. Handed the elderly man on a silver platter to a man she already knew had just murdered another elderly man.
She's not innocent at all.
That’s right. Wonder why she wasn’t prosecuted?
Probably because she testified against Boggess. Probably got a plea deal.
Is she afraid there will be some more information that comes out and a judge rejects her plea all these years later? Is that why she moves around so much and she's so scared?
Typical broad. Treacherous but no prosecution.
Killers belly aching about being put to death. Priceless.
Im sure he didnt give his victims a chance to plead for their lives.
@@cathyt144 Or maybe he did but no 'Stay" was granted-
If I were in their shoes and was guilty of murder I think I would not appeal, I would just want to move on. No one is gonna forgive you anyway... just saying
And morons defending him. Unbelievable. They should all be put in a room alone with him
Great family
You could see he enjoyed what he did to that older gentleman; I'm no expert but I saw his true feelings, his expressions gave it away he got excited for what he had done no remorse
@Donnell Okafor Just think of how many people are surrendered for adoption and grow- up and never, at any time in they're life come anywhere close to taking another person's life. He even said he loved his grandfather who raised him very much. He'd had a chance to get out of that hell he was born into and have a different upbringing however he squandered it all.
Today with the takeover in our country increasingly of undercover criminal advocates, becoming "prosecutors" and judges there's no guarantee if somebody gets "life" that they won't be set free eventually.
With the rate this country's going increasingly there's no justice for victims by design thanks to the far left scum increasingly infested within our criminal justice systems.
@@frankpaya690 very true sir
@Donnell Okafor Wow! that's profound!

@@tamitribianni1425
You saw the film?
In which second did you get the feeling that demon was innocent?
Phildo, I feel lke you. He tozches me most. I know that men don't fo it. But I would have held him in my arms. Poor soul, what did that beast to you!
That picture of the victims head stone is just a trophy for him to relive his crime. Such a despicable thing!
Who cares? I certainly don’t
You're wrong & you're judging. If you were listening, he said why he has it. 😮
If I drive a friend to the corner store to buy milk, and while he’s there he robs the store and kills the attendant, even if I knew nothing about his intentions, I could be charged along with my friend. Why that woman who gave him the name of the second victim didn’t get charged with his murder is beyond me. Without her information that gentleman would still be alive!
In the example you gave you would not be charged.
I wondered about Her too. She spoke a name. That Man is dead. Some Prison time would have been very good for her.
You ever heard of immunity? Well let me learn you a few things about it and law. The d.a. needed her testimony to get a solid conviction on Clifford to seal the deal for the death penalty which the victims families wanted. If she didn't testify Clifford would've received 2 life sentences instead. So they let her testify and let her go. I'll tell you the truth about courtrooms. It's just a bunch of egotistical sophisticated dummies practicing law there's never any real justice being performed in any courtroom in America. Hope this helps may peace be with you all.
@@nojusticejustus2912 I should have known that. Going through it now with a couple of demonic creeps that lured my cousin to his death. All captured on their own security cameras. Slam dunk case the prosecutor said. ( these idiots thought they turned off their security cameras but shut off their Wi-Fi by mistake ) one conspirator is already out on parole, fighting to put the other two away for at least 30 years. Its an uphill battle for justice and I'm disgusted along with the rest of my family.
@@skipwaldent8465 I'm sorry I dealt with it aswell. My brother was gunned down. The man shot him and dropped the gun and ran off, a few other people there picked the gun up and shot him 9 more times. Only one arrested and convicted. Even though witness testimony says clearly my brother was still alive after the first shot their lawyers claimed they were shooting into a dead body. Money was passed around the only one convicted recieved 15 years. Gotta love miami-dade county courthouse. Again may peace be with you. It's almost as if they want us to deliver true justice so they get more arrests more money etc..
Last 30 mins of this documentary, I found myself thinking "pls hurry up and kill him before Ol' Jack dies, please!" over & over in my head. Jack really broke my heart. What an amazingly strong 95yr old.

It won't let me put my original comment. It was a simple opinion and that's not allowed here
So sad phoebe could have saved that man, she knew what he was going to do.
I agree. She should be where he is.
It’s worse than her being able to save the man. Shes the reason he died. He didnt even know about the guy until she told him. She shouldve been prosecuted
He had such a great talent as an artist. What a shame he threw his life away so stupidly, so brutally.
I believe death row inmates should perish in the same method they extinguished their victims lives. An eye for an eye.
If they want to ,let the victims families take care of the matter. I'm sure they will do a bang up job!
If he is so remorseful, why did he fight his execution so hard? He is Satan's pawn.
Because he didn’t want to die
His hypocrisy only goes so far. If he were truly sorry for what he did he would never appeal the courts for release. He would offer to inject the drugs himself that removed him from this planet.

My grandfather was born in 1924 and sadly passed in 2007. He was a very close friend as well as my grandfather. I miss him😢😢😢
Listening to Boggess talk about the murder of the store owner (second victim) is so chilling. Boggess tells the story in a cold, detatched manner and he is ice cold. WTF.
I found him mentioning his Grandfather in relation to that murder interesting. Their relationship might explain the overkill.
He probably does run much through the prefrontal. After all thats one thing psychopaths have in common. They are emotionally flat and don't have empathy. His perspective is the only thing that might be meaningful. Then only so because there is nothing left. He is cutting his family off. I wonder if he thinks its the only power he has. I dont think he is connected to himself and is only living a fictitious emotional life and has no idea what emotions feel like. He can only feign the emotions
He has no empathy.
@@brendagroff8478 agreed
I know people won’t believe it but there’s something to astrology. I guessed that this guy was Gemini and I was right. His cockiness, attitude of superiority over others and constant talking especially about himself as well as his dual personality are some of the traits of a dark Gemini. They are master deceivers, liars and manipulators and are known to be the most sociopathic sign. No offense to anyone.
Heartbreaking to listen to the utter destruction of this monster. the lives he took the pain he caused the agony he created. The death penalty was just in this case.
The electric chair, gallows, lethal injections, and firing squads should be going 24/7 throughout the world.
@TreeGrower yea but why should the tax payers keep paying for this garbage? Good riddance.
@TreeGrower and that's not true.. did you not see his cell? He was having an easier time than most homeless ppl. 3 hot meals.. a shower.. a warm bed.. someone to talk to.. I was in jail in 2019 and while it's not ideal it wasn't the absolute worst thing ever. One thing most death row inmates are asked is if they're scared to die and a lot say yes. There's nothing scary about routine. About watching tv. About eating breakfast. About laughing and chatting with other inmates.
@Anony Mouse Have any murder victims given you the authority to pardon their killers? It doesn't need to be a deterrent to be just.
What if it was a family member of yours in his place? Would you still be for the death penalty? Just for conversation I say this..
I can feel the hurt from that old man! Missing his brother and knowing what was done to him... So hurt and lonely..

You know it's funny but I remember the killer's name but I've already forgotten the victim's names.

Excellent report. I am a Christian but I cannot resist this: good riddance, Clifford Boggess.
Then you're not much of a Christian!!
His art and religion and other changes are fine for him, but ONLY for him. Just because his art is phenomenal doesn't mean we should forget what he did to that girls grandfather and the mechanic. If they give him a permanent stay because he found Jesus and got good at painting does that mean we should get some crazy snaggletoothed maniac a permanent stay? Hell yea! By that logic we should let em all live! (sarcasm)
I'm an artist myself, and creating art is a very rich, rewarding experience, and that's got to be a slap in the face to the families of the victims, knowing he's having a good time in prison.
He was OK at drawing but I didn't see any art in his pretty pictures. Artistically it was garbage. Cliche at best.
If someone feels genuinely guilty then they wouldn’t appeal
Exactly!
Good point
When did you get your psychology degree?
Feeling guilty does not always make one want to die ....

Wow.... what an amazing documentary...
Really well filmed and produced.
It poses more questions than answers..
You can’t change a sociopath - someone who can do that to another person. I’m against the death penalty, but can certainly see why others are for it. As long as it’s legal - well, he made his bed and he’s gone now. He exited this world in a lot more pleasant a manner than did his victims.I appreciate Frontline not taking sides. It’s rare in these times.
If it were your mama,dad,or child that was sliced up like a melon im sure you would feel different.
@@cathyt144 I am the victim of a violent crime (gun shot), and I’m told I’m lucky to have survived. Still, killing people doesn’t stop people from killing people. So why do it? Because you like killing? You DO know that makes you just as bad as this killer, right? Or are you too short sighted to see that this killer: he IS you. And you are him. You both lust for blood. You both have your reasons, but that doesn’t make you better than him. No, you ARE him.
@Donnell Okafor True that. He should’ve been spending time paying back society somehow. Not “scratching his creative itch” - like he was on some kind of extended holiday.
@Donnell Okafor Thou shall not kill means just that. Killing this man brought no one back from the dead. It only made even more killers. If we aren’t careful as a nation, we won’t have anyone left who isn’t a killer.
@Donnell Okafor Jesus doesn’t say “you can kill some people” - murder is against God’s law. And we a nation founded on the Judeau-Christian ethic. Murder is wrong. Always. Tell that to the people who are put to death that were innocent.
I still believe that the death sentence is necessary and in some cases should be mandatory. There are some people who need to exit this world for the safety and well being of society.
Lori and chad day bell for sure!
I have a few questions I ask that you consider. Before asking I want to assure you I am not soft of crime or criminals despite my beliefs regarding capital punishment. I'm actually pretty much a lock'm up and throw away the key type. I actually agree with you in believing the world would be a better place without particular individuals a part of it.
Okay, the questions:
1 Do you believe the prison system in this country has the ability to keep prisoners behind bars, walls and high fences?
2. Did you know capital punishment has never been proven a deterrent.?
3. What's the difference between retribution and justice?
4. Did you know that roughly 1,700 condemned prisoners have been executed since the Supreme Courts outlawing of executions was reversed in 1976? and did you know roughly 170 condemned people since 1976 have had their convictions reversed because advances in technology proved they could not have committed the crime?
5. Are you willing to accept knowing that for every ten condemned criminals one is likely looking to be murdered by the state because he or she was wrongfully convicted?
6, How do we correct possible mistakes made after the death sentence has been carried out?
7. Is your blood lust so great you are willing to play a role, albeit a small role, in the murder of an innocent person?
8. Do you believe justice in this country is a bought and sold commodity? That the wealthy experience our justice system differently than those without the same resources? Does this happen?
I know what my answers are. I'm curious what yours might be.
@@misterdeeds2172 At first I really thought that you were interested in the answers to your questions and what the answers would be. However when you made "statements of facts" that are in fact not true, then you become the standard left wing idiot. So in answer to some of your questions that do not presuppose a bunch of crap:
No, I do not believe that our prisons keep people out of society and the rates of recidivism are astronomical which means people were out on the streets again.
Most people in prison claim that they are innocent and especially to soft hearted people who they can manipulate. The answers that you find between inmates tend to be more honest and the numbers of " innocent" prisoners is not anywhere close to one in ten.
Do I know how many people have been put to death, why yes I do. Do you know how many people have been murdered by prisoners out on parole or probation or pardons?
If you wanted a real conversation then that would be reasonable but you don't and you mouth the same old lines without knowing or searching for the true story.
Sadly people have such lust for revenge they aren't concerned about the few innocent people who might get executed. Fortunately these people are aging and dying off and younger people like myself are adamantly against the death penalty and more and more states are banning capital punishment.
@@misterdeeds2172 Let me tell you this. These people are psychopats and sociopats. Why do you think they appeal? They are scarred. But they are not scarred they will die, they are scarred they lost. It puts them down. When they killed their victims they had their lives in their hands. This gave them a special feeling they are something more and they can decide whether someone lives or dies. If they get life long sentence they still have hope they will get out. Watch how so many of them say the state is going to kill them. Yes technically. They killed themselves at the time they commited their crime they just thought they would get away with that. Execution brings the end and they know they cannot manipulate anyone anymore, they know they lost the game and they know they will be forgotten. Death penalty will never reduce crime. Just knowing they want so desperately live is showing you how sick and coward they are. About innocent people being executed. Yes unfortunately it happened but these days they are in prison for more than 20 years till they get the time of their execution. They have their rights to appeal. The death sentence is an efficient punishment for these criminals.
This is a great documentary, the storytelling, music used, narration, the pace, etc.
But I think we need to start focusing more on the victims, tell their life stories, successes, misfortunes, their families left behind, etc. Remembering their lives, their families & their names.
I totally understand what you are saying but I think victims/survivors value their privacy. None of them asked to be singled out. Most were leading quiet, normal lives before the crime occurred. As the survivor of a violent stranger rape and beating that almost killed me, I just want things to be "normal" in my world. I went to court, testified and did what I had to do. My successes or failures are my own. Why should anyone else be interested just because I survived a violent crime?

You can, only it's an MRI. He is a psychopath/sociopath and they have a lack of activity in their brain's frontal lobe that you can see the lack of on an MRI.

@@sparks480v3 I think the powers that shouldn’t be don’t want to put an end to all the murders, especially of women. They have an agenda and as Satanists they hate the female gender. Narcissists hate females as well. Narcissists, sociopaths and psychopaths operate like Satanists basically. They thrive on creating fear and , shame in their victim and are out to control their target. They have no empathy and want to destroy the target. They project blame and won’t take responsibility for their actions. They exist on lying to themselves and Eventually they believe their own lies and think in reverse. That’s where the projections come in. Satan worshippers do lots of things in reverse purposely though to achieve the desired outcome. I hope that makes some sense. It’s late and I’m going to bed.
The granddaughter is so right, he's the one on death row and yet he's preaching to HER. The nerve... sad how they are void of empathy/feelings/conscience...
Disgusting how anyone would befriend these monsters and be 'penpals', doing him favours, selling their art, even scattering their ashes where they requested... those ashes should just go down the toilet.
For that woman who wasted ink on this psychopath, coming all the way from Germany gotta make ya wonder how many screws lose she had! She was right fit for his manipulation!
I feel the same way. This dude thinks he is something special. He is trash and needs to be discarded.
Christianity makes even the worst people feel superior.
Yes. This is the kind of preaching Chris Watts thinks he is going to do once he "gets out of prison." He actually thinks that.
You sound very similar, read your own post!
95 grown man put through that, made me cry!
If you've heard the BTK killer speak of his crimes you will hear Clifford's voice. Clifford was a cold-blooded murderer with no remorse. He thought he was clever enough to "draw" his way off death row including getting the reporter to smuggle his hopefully profitable drawing to an art dealer. That's why he was commercializing his art work, he thought some day he would be free and knew he would need money.
How the Texas Department of Corrections felt that he should choose the disposition of his remains is an incredulous mystery to me unless TDC knew his "free some day" funds being spent on spreading his ashes was a worthier use of funds.
It's unfortunate that California doesn't have more of a like a Texas-like philosophy about capital punishment
Yep!
All profits should have gone to the Victim's family;!!! Outrageous!
Well the funds he earned for his art didn't do shit for him in the end. He didn't get off death row by an appeal and then the state backs off further prosecution. He was executed and as for the disposal of his ashes or body well forget about that. We know he'll be disposed of.
A friend of mine brother was murdered. His killer was put to death Georgia. My friend said she didn't feel any different once the man was executed. She said.."my brother is still gone".
Maybe knowing that he will for sure never get out of jail .
It doesn’t matter indeed.
True, but the taxpayers are no longer paying for feeding, clothing, and free lifetime medical services for a murderer .
She’s right. The people that are gone will never come back. We have to try to live a good life for them.
He said he didn’t need the family’s forgiveness because he had God’s forgiveness. Monstrous. Great film, and Moonlight Sonata behind some of the footage was surreal. Kudos.
i agree with you, it was great music for the piece; i guess the price of fame for the Maestro; however (and this is my own peeve) i do wish that people would stop whoring out the music of Beethoven, whose music is divine.
These psychopaths are mentally ill. Not saying that justifies his actions, and he fully deserved his penalty, but unfortunately there’s no stopping them when they don’t have a conscience or any ability to feel empathy towards others. Thankfully he was turned in after 2 murders. He undoubtedly would have continued killing. The neglect and abuse of children will only continue the cycle of creating abusive and unstable people. This was an excellent program.
Psychopaths are not mentally ill they think they are right to their very soul. If you become one of their victims, it is your fault, not theirs. If you trusted one of them that is your fault for trusting them. They have no empathy for anyone. They normally feel no emotion and only feel emotion in very stressful situations. Hence the animation of psychopaths, such as Ted Bundy, during their trials. They might have been in serious trouble, but at least they felt something.
Their real danger is the fact that they aren’t ill and can act perfectly normal, all the while that they are hiding their psychopathy.
I agree. This death row inmate has always led a double life: One like the guy you meet on the street and the other a murderer in disguise.
I feel compassion for the motherless child and his hollow experiences that made him into a remorseless killer.
You can tell the old man wanted to break down for his brother! But probably held back because it wasn't healthy and he knew it. Heart attack, stroke etc. I've been around older people to know what sudden excitement can do! That must have been horrible to go through. The victims and families deserve to be recognized! They are the ones I would use breath on!!! Mentioning anyone else or their name is too much credit. 🙏🏾

That’s actually not true in all cases. There have been PLENTY of cases where the victim’s family have stated at trial that they don’t want the defendant sentenced to death. Neither side should claim to know what the families want without hearing it from them.

Manson was “cheerful” in prison as well as an adult as he loved all the attention - Boggess seems like a garden-variety sociopath to me. The superficial affect, grandiosity, mood shifts, and cheap attempts to charm should have been your *first* clue. Plus the comments that seem to blame the victims (for being “old men?!”) are sooooo tasteless!!
That thought also crossed my mind
I find it ironic that every monster I’ve seen is so afraid to die they do everything to avoid the death sentence but they sure as hell didn’t have any problems taking the lives in the most brutal matter. Cowards
and yet is CONVINCED they are "goin' to heaven" because they feel good about themselves now .
Should've ELECTROCUTED THE BASTARD and charged admission.🎯
Ida paid good dough for that front row seat quicker than a Floyd,Stones or Zeppelin concert.👍
Right, rest in hell killers!
They are sick and manipulative. They have no feelings at all. What drives them mad is the fact the game is over and they lost. So they are trying to grab an upper hand by being religious and thinking they will go to heaven. that will give them a sense of relieve and victory. I would electrocute them as well and they would have to practice going to a chamber and sitting on the chair once a week till they would have the final day.
They use their religion to justify themselves
So sad to see the murderer get the chance to plan his last days and make all the necessary arrangements for his funeral. But those two poor old men didn't even get the chance to give their love ones a tight hug and a kiss on the cheek with tears in the eyes but still appreciating that moments.
I get where you're coming from but would you rather have your killer in prison where it's like being on the streets.. Access to drugs, female guards willing to have sex. Eating good food. Watching cable. Or make him pay for the life he took with his life..
I look at it this way. If you think sitting in a tiny cell, with someone else, having zero control, zero future, zero to think about but your shitty life and your guilt FOR YEARS, is some sort of “escape” from consequences you’d have to be in a coma. Imagine being that guy. KNOWING that one day, you’ll be literally PUT DOWN….that in and of itself is mentally torturous. The people he killed at least had adrenaline pumping to dull pain. What he did to them is horrific. They certainly didn’t deserve that.
But if I had to pick a way to die, I’d rather it be that way than be put down by the State, like some animal. Those people met death knowing they were innocent. Imagine going to death KNOWING you’re NOT. Now that’s gotta be FEAR.

I did time. Alot of it in County. I am a Texan. I watched many capitol cases go through the courts. How the men were when they were released into general population. Their attitudes and behaviors with myself and others. The court process and court rulings.

Except the crimes of passion cases where on an emotional whim a death occurred.

That's kind of exactly the problem. For you an execution is just a headline in a newspaper. For you it's nothing more than "that guy deserves to die for what he did"
You feel nothing but the anger at the crime and you think you can prevent that crime from happening again by getting somebody else to kill the suspect.
The people who actually perform the executions have to see it happen, they have to put needles in, throw switches, watch a person die by _their_ hand because *SOMEBODY ELSE* wants them dead.
Why did they take that job? Go ask them, it's often because they are afraid that if _they_ don't do it, somebody with less respect for life and more feelings of vengeance will have a go and torture the prisoner "because they deserve it". Just like you are saying now, because you have no clue what it's like to actually carry out that sentence.
Yes I know, you think killers should not deserve respect, and again I say: go apply for the job of executioner and see how long you'll last.
See how long you'll feel right about it; watching a person die because of your desire to see them die.
...because... only killers feel good when they take a life. You won't. And neither do the people who do the executions.
It's VERY easy to demand that a person be killed when YOU don't have to do it, just like it's very easy to say that women can't get abortions when you're a man, that soldiers should invade a country when you can stay behind, it's always easy to demand that somebody else does the hard work for you and as soon as _YOU_ have to do it, you'll change your mind like a leaf in the breeze.
No ofcourse your'e not going to admit that, because there is absolutely no chance that you'll ever perform an execution, it's easier to sit here and pretend at being a tough guy.

And when they do show remorse or concern about the victims, it is often a put-on charade in an effort to get some relief or commutaton to a life sentence instead of execution. My heart bleeds for them......peanut butter. When they get the medicine (execution drugs) they so richly deserve, I hope it hurts. And even then, they will not feel 1/1,000 of the pain and anguish they inflicted on their victims. Good riddance, Boggess. They should have flushed his ashes down the toilet.
They have no remorse bc they are narcissistic sociopaths. They can’t see pst their own noses and have no conscience. They expect the world to pay attention to their needs and wants and if not, they’ll eliminate them or ruin their victim’s lives with not a care in the world except getting what they want.
@@melissaprice3311 Well said, Melissa, and every word true.
"Stop The Executions" the crowd was chanting… *Until one of their own gets murdered!* facts💯
There are many relatives of murder victims who do not support the Death Penalty! Just check out for example "Journey of Hope ... From Violence to Healing". THAT'S a fact!
@@gabriele_uhlthere are many more family members who don't think the killers death can come soon enough. That's a fact too.
@@troyjanise9051 Soon enough? So 13 years probably is too long? An average of 13 years 200 people spent on death row, who were exonerated since the 70s. They would have been executed although being innocent.
@@gabriele_uhlone innocent person on death row or in prison is too many. I never said our justice system is perfect, none in the world is. There are around 2200 people on DR in the US. 99.99 % of them are guilty of what theyre there for. They're there for the most viscous crimes imaginable. With DNA and other science, there are WAY fewer innocent people being sent to prison. As long as the human equation is in the justice system there will be mistakes.
" Until one of their own gets murdered!"
True.
Also true: "They must be executed" they shout, as long as somebody else does the executing.
Also also true: the states that have the death penalty have more murders than the states without, so clearly it's not helping.
I’ve noticed something about most talented humans. WE have our dark side. I think it’s a constant struggle to juggle.
These people supporting Cliff’s artwork seem more interested in his art than what he did to get there.

Never heard of this guy. What a piece of work he was. True narcissists cant experience true feelings for others or remorse. Just like that friend who came from Germany and was met by new friends. They don't have best friends unless for opportunistic purposes. RIP to the two old men.😰
You just described me perfectly 😭
@@brandonbelongstocharlottef1798 AWW!!! At least you accept the truth. Kudos. Please dont kill!
@@brandonbelongstocharlottef1798 So, your a narcissist and an opportunist, who wants to commit heinous crimes? How wonderful 😳😱
He certainly reminds me of the Ugly Orange Donnie!!!!!!!
I am also a complete narcissist
1995: America has become comfortable with execution...2022: America has become comfortable with crime.
Exactly. Disgusting what has happened.
@Opal Allen Look around and see the increase in murders, rapes, car thefts, smash and grab with little or no prosecution of these crimes, and convicts released from prison well before their sentences have ended. If you can't see that, you probably just don't want to, or have been lucky enough to have not been touched by crime.
@@kelseymathias3881 illegals pouring into our Country, democrat cities allowing criminals to go free, defunding our police.. what could go wrong??

That woman must feel horrible every day because she told this man to target that poor old man in his store. She has to live with that guilt.
She's aged heaps
If all that effort by the death row protesters was given to victims families instead, the world might be a little better place.
Never understood compassion for the killers. Never.
Meanwhile, victims families are long forgotten, left to deal with the nightmare that happened in their lives alone, due to these killers.
Thank you❤
Im that cold hearted one who believes that ppl on death row should get to die the same way their victims did
They get to just go to sleep, while their victims fought, felt all that pain and suffering
Tennessee has modified the law that the electric chair will be used if drugs for lethal injection are not available. Alabama offers inmates a choice between the needle and the chair. TX has the electric chair sitting behind a caged wall and it's sad we don't at least offer it as an alternate method. The firing squad is the best method. Hanging and the gas chamber have been retired and those two methods will never be used in the USA again.
I wish the system worked like "An eye… for an eye!" Kill'em the same way they did their victims, but a lot quicker!
Just how I feel.
@@matthewvoss7365 I dont see why the gas chamber is retired
@@gowdsake7103 it's costly and it's considered inhumane because it can take up to 15 minutes. Plus it's dangerous.
@@matthewvoss7365 And just how long did it take for most of these bastards to kill and mutilate their victims ? How much does it cost to keep them alive ?
Dangerous to who ?
