This is a very thoughtful and thought-provoking documentary. It’s not asking us to choose one way or the other. It tells the story of people who are affected.

It’s really good.
Don't censor the documentary. Let us see the whole video uncensored
@@rogerburch69same here
@@rogerburch69well I doubt you'll get the real version cuz somehow these documentaries are edited and censored where need be so as to not make the executioner or members of the prison look bad in anyway or form. It's the truth. Anyway I am a huge supporter for the death penalty if the person is proven wrongful and committed the said crime. If the person is convicted to death sentence and his case is kinda doubtful and shady I will never support that which means there needs to be more investigation as long as it may take even years or decades the person should never be condemn untill true evidence is shown without a doubt and shadiness. Cuz once a person dies you can never bring them back to life.
The country has condemned people wrongfully only to find out after decades that it's thr wrong person but of course they cannot publicize this and keep it under wraps. Something has to be done bout all these cases, all these type of cases should be handle with care and thoroughly.
I'm no Saint. But I sure as heck would not want to be an executioner when it's my time to reach the pearly gates.
The Boston Marathon bomber was seen on security camera video purposely placing his bomb behind the 8-year-old boy who was murdered. You have to be one twisted and depraved person to purposely place a bomb behind a child! In my opinion, that's a case that completely justifies the death penalty.
All the cops did was KNOCK on the DOOR??? Disgraceful.
The rape and murder victim's mom has such a beautiful heart, you know she touches me when she tells about her telephonic conversations with the perpetrator's mom, much love from South Africa
A far better human being than I
The real crime is Philly police taking 20 minutes to respond to someone being attacked
Here in Melbourne, Australia, in the area I live, they won't even attend assault calls .
Cop response is limited. It's not just Philadelphia. It's everywhere. You can steal a Bentley and not be charged.
Agreed! The cops are always sleeping in a hidden parking lot behind my house.. the irony, nobody to report them too...
Fascinating how we give them all this money and, they don’t do their jobs. 12 is fish.
Add then just leaving😳😳
The only thing to complain about is the amount of time between the death sentence & death.
As well as the fact that the attitude "if you take a life, you deserve to die" is about the level of thought a 6yr old would have. Very good evidence suggests over 30% of confessions are likely to be unreliable due to the tactics police use and the terrible state of the US education system. People think if they ask for a lawyer they will look guilty ffs.
The lengthy waiting time is needed..to be sure the person is guilty of the crime. DAS are very cunning in getting a conviction by any means!
It’s also the appeals system , if you are sentenced to death you are going to appeal and that can take years . I bet the whole thing would be over much more speedily if the prisoner did not appeal it .
The death penalty should never be ended
Only God has that right
What about the prisoners who gets executed that are actually innocent and there were many i recently read of such a case and before his execution he was proven innocent and the US state of Texas refused to let him go they executed him anyway knowing what happened to his home and daughter's was just a terrible accident having evidence infront of you that a man is innocent and ignoring it and still taking his life is inhumane and murder
@@caveman4598 Nope.
@@caveman4598
So you kill people and you want to eat pizza which i work for !
@almeripieters4330 Perhaps, the prisoners should pay their own legal fees, and provide the required evidence to prove their own innocence once they have already being trialed, and sentenced?! 😂
I am an ex con completely reformed criminal recovered heroin addict on 9 yr sobriety. I never did horrible things. But I witnessed how corrupt our justice system is
Good luck to you🍀🍀🍀 keep going
I don't understand why they string murder victims families for 25 years like that. They should be asked at trial, and they should be contacted the year the execution is granted and asked if they still feel the same.
A 19 year old mother of three. Good grief.
why should someone wrongly imprisoned be "pardoned"? you dont pardon an innocent person.
What drives a person to kill another person in the first place? What is in their heads? Ive never even had a inkling of going that far
Courts only care about the color green. Like a conveyer belt, charge up, plea down and pay pay pay. Many many plea even if innocent because they know they don't stand a chance in the system.
Why censor some parts of the video?
RUclips requires it or they will take the video down.
@@missychan63 The documentary was used for educational purposes. That's allowed on RUclips.
@@FlamingBasketballClub Exactly. They're censoring it in hopes that they can keep it monetized and running ads. Most of the censorship we see on RUclips is unnecessary and it's just about ad money.
13:05 Before you feel too sorry for Rainey Bethea, he was convicted of breaking into a woman's house, raping and killing her.
And "Many thought Bethea was innocent."? He confessed, TWICE, and left his ring at the crime scene.
This is a very important issue well worth watching. Thanks for uploading it.
Yeah, it's a polarizing issue that is nicely done. However, I believe there's no one answer that'd satisfy any opposing groups. There are 6 different perspectives. The victims, the victims family, the criminal, the criminal's family, the executioner, and the State. It'd be hard for any one group to absolutely have the same stance
Exactly what I was thinking 💭
I wouldn’t want his job. What a depressing career.

"The police arrived within 20 minutes and no one answered the door" So they like just left orrrr?
Like... when someone is getting attacked and it takes around 20 minutes for police to respond and they just leave if you don't answer the door instead of kicking it in then you know you can't rely on police.
I don't think cold blooded killers are worth 6 figures of my tax dollars to deny them a life... I think that's absolutely crazy when you have people struggling to heat their homes.
It also costs the same to keep them for life in prison
@@Esther-yr1vpit doesn’t. The death penalty costs taxpayers much more than life w/o parole. There’s a lot of conflicting information out there but if you can weed through the nonsense, there are factual studies and comparisons that back up the claim.
If you're so concerned about taxpayer money being wasted, there are much, MUCH bigger issues than a few death row inmates. We're approaching 30 trillion in national debt because of government corruption and decades of wars. ....wars which have led to the deaths of millions.
A few murderers on death row are statistically irrelevant when it comes to taxpayer money. Also, the death penalty can be just as expensive (sometimes more) than a life sentence. It's all a moot point. That "taxpayer money" argument is a silly one and I can't understand why so many people repeat it.
Just say you believe in the death penalty.. You don't need to make excuses.
@@clicheguevara5282 preach 🗣️ 👏
40:55 So shocking... the woman who had her legs blown off thinks justice should be carried out, while the ones who didn't get their legs blown off are wondering if they should post to facebook about how hard they've had it worrying over the bomber's feelings and if they should do a tiktok dance with their non-blown-off legs to post about it.
Right wing 2+2= 🐠 comment. You have zero understanding of policy.
Thats it…they wanna be the forgiving ones and good hearted ones! Sicko
The man who build the electrocution equipment @17:22 had a documentary made featuring him. Mr. Death: The Rise and Fall of Fred A. Leuchter. I had to do a double take when I saw his name on the machine.
Very moving viedo.well done.
We have the death penalty and they want it so we use it. That's how I have always seen this.
The blurred footage throughout is fantastic.....
You start blurring stuff out and I'm gone.
You can thank youtube. They are just trying to keep their channel from getting banned.
@@FlowerPup_AZ No, they're trying to keep their ad revenue. Most of the censorship isn't about following RUclips's Terms of Service. It's about RUclipsrs wanting their videos to be "ad friendly". This video would be allowed to stay up uncensored on RUclips. ...but they'd risk losing ads.
I'll try again and say, This is a very important video well worth watching.......
Why are my comments being removed???
They're not being removed. I see your prior comment. You added "thanks for uploading it" at the end.

An eye for an eye makes the whole world go blind.
Appropriate in Old Testament times, with no prisons. But we’re here thousands of years later. Do we believe in redemption, atonement, forgiveness? Killing is either right or wrong, whether done by the individual or the State.
Why are some scenes shaded out ?!
youtube has a new policy about showing types of violence, acts of , and outcomes. it has gotten very strict on what you can show.
So according to the doc, he executed 6 people who were innocent. "for every 10 prisoners 1 is innocent" "he executed 62 people"
That doesnt mean that he executed 6 innocent people ,that number is based on the total number of executions in the whole country from when they started being done , more innocent people were convicted in the past , it still happens but not nearly as often . All 62 could have been guilty or 2 could have been innocent or 15 could have been innocent .
Ten executions per one executioner? Or for all in the US?
Completely nonsense number made up for dramatic effect. Absurd lies.
Statistically yes, it's possible
The 1st gentleman has been in another doc
Ok I’ve seen this one before
It’s been reloaded up ( posting time )
Still it reminds us we’re human & that we have
Live with our decisions
ask the victims love ones & families to get a different point of view.
Not all victim’s families seek or want revenge. Killing someone doesn’t bring back their loved one.
They are in a highented emotional state so they are going to be biased
Rest in peace Jerry Givens you are a very brave man it was a depressing job to do.
gotta give it to vicky and sil, after all they went through and yet they chose forgiveness, my respects to those parents
I disagree. Forgiveness should be given IF the perpetrator of the crime ASKS/BEGS for forgiveness. That did not happen here. It's called contrition and is all but lacking in our current culture.
Forgiving is no better than not forgiving, but it's no worse. It depends on the person and what they've gone through
@@jeffhatmaker817 God our Father says to forgive as He has forgiven us... what they did was wrong, but they have to ask God for forgiveness... and repent and when they do God will forgive them!!
@@1physics when you forgive someone you’re forgiving for yourself honestly. It has little to do with them and more for your peace! It helps with releasing all anger and any hatred towards that person which allows you to feel free. Speaking from experience only
@@virgorising8123well I still feel anger and it does not take any of the hurt away so that's not true about forgiving at all
Live by the law of the land. Simple!
Utter joke to have this on here if youtube feel grown adults watching this need to be protected from seeing it, how pathetic! Censorship in the US is half the reason the country has gone to $hit. Hiding from truths, ignoring reality how incredibly immature!
Gave up watching it, perhaps it'd be better as a podcast!
My mother use to say...an eye for an eye...

It's crazy to think America will become without death penalty.
How come the police was called and came but they still found Shannons dead body the next morning? Police didn’t do their job correctly
Capital punishment is highly illogical. It is honestly absurd that it still exists.
Exposing him as an executioner after being sentenced was a cruel trick. Surely, being an executioner sent to prison is a lot worse than being an ex cop or an ex prison guard going in. Not only is he an ex guard, but he's one of the ones who k*lls them too. That must have been some really hard time to do.
I will tell you - as a former inmate (relatively short stay mind - only 10 years) - a life sentence is a slow torturous death...you have to watch your friends, loved ones and EVERYONE you ever knew - live, die and move on. That rips the very SOUL from your body. And thats a pain you have to live with for the rest of your life. Whether you get the chair - or 3 hots and a cot - you're dead either way. Easy to forget that the men and women have serve those sentences day-by-day. Dont be a killer - on the streets or in a robe.....
RIP Mr Givens 🕊️

The death penalty should NEVER be abolished.
Bollocks! Any civilized society abolished it long ago...
So we have two sets of criminals.The criminal and the Governor
It was abolished here in Australia in 1969.
The last execution was a man who was escaping-a Guard was killed.
Turned out he was innocent-the shot was from a fellow Guard.
His Executioner had to live with that.
Too many have been condemned,only to be found innocent by DNA after DECADES .
There are cases we want the ultimate punishment for a person who has done horrible crimes-but when you know there are lives going down that may NOT deserve it,is it worth it?
Whats that Earl saying? Cant hear a word of english

@@sirwinstonchurchill2052seems you care to give a comment, at least
Great documentary! But did anyone else notice that the sign for the Boston bombing victims was spelled wrong. It said “we will never FOGOT them” unless that is a Boston saying.
Ooh, Metal band-name AND title of first release: Death Bringer, "The Executioner's Shadow"!
"The police arrived within 20 minutes." And yet we are supposed to wait for them to defend us, rather than being able to defend ourselves.
Not a innocent person but a guilty person yeah wow this is something else this program😮
Astonishing humans in this documentary. Wisdom far past the system that fails more than it saves or punishes.
Great documentary… BUT AN EYE FOR AN EYE SIMPLE AS THAT IN MY OPINION…
When Jesus came, this became obsolete ❤
Keep religion out of this
RICHARD GLOSSIP in Oklahoma is an ongoing disturbing case.
Thank you for sharing
It blows my mind that this country is still doing executions even after learning that there’s at least one innocent man put to death out of every ten executions. I feel like if we can’t be 100% sure that someone is guilty or not then we shouldn’t be executing anyone. I can’t even begin to imagine how it must feel being strapped down about to be executed knowing that you’re innocent.
Karen is absolutely milking her injury from the Boston Marathon Bombings, she got a poor leg whilst her friends lost limbs.
Both sides are right for confirmed offender. Some humans have a bigger heart, are spiritually capable. Thanks to forgiveness we have this current world call it bad or good have to remember have agree to disagree. Forgiveness is a powerful tool for those you can forgive.
Yeah I remember the choreography no wonder no videos you can't fool all the people all the time.
Forgiveness is the discretionary sacrament of those who have been wronged.
No one may tell those who choose to forgive that they are not free to do so…
Please do not compound the bone deep loss of grieving survivors by casting upon them the “need” to know of or witness the killing of the person(s) who killed beloved human beings. It is not our place to put stones in the palms of tearful survivors…
Don't claim documentary when it's censored! I think it's an absolute disrespect to blur out the reality victims lived! The human experience encompasses all events so what exactly are we afraid to look at? The only way to understand and promote change is with transparency and truth of information and at the top of that is THE VISUAL HUMAN EXPERIENCE!!! ***FYI I am aware of RUclips's ridiculous content policies***
Maybe look somewhere other than the most "sensored" site to find the uncensored video you are seeking? 🤔
youtube would take it down
oh keep your pants on. Seriously. I usually listen to docs as a podcast because I have several to get through and it's just more convenient and I don't miss anything. One could make the opposite argument about the blurs. The information is the same and Im sure you've seen way worse watching a movie or playing a video game. To get faux upset about a blur is imo just getting outraged for the sake of it. And fyi: it's a YT requirement for unrestricted viewing. I'd rather have a blur and feel safe when kids watch this.
Perhaps you never post or understand RUclips and their policy. A person can't just post info pictures or video of sensitive crimes unless their get the right to do so, especially when putting together a documentary.
It's blurred for obvious reasons, and the fact you don't understand that shows your arrogance. Also you didn't even spell censored correctly. Lol
Eye for an Eye.
Only God had that right and he is watching and listening
Yes it definitely is. But they is no mortals judgment to make. Piggy backing on the bible to justify killing anyone is extremely dangerous.
Makes us all blind
makes the world go blind.
@@davidperry4013doubt it, not everyone murders or commit horrible crimes.
Which is worse *solitary confinement or death penalty?
Depends how long solitary lasts? .
I see the condemned being interviewed saying how it's worse being locked up than actually being put to death, but at the same time they are using every trick in the book to avoid the easy way out, by being put to death.
The strongest advocates of removing the death penalty are mostly those facing it and their family members
worse for who ? society or the criminal ?
governments purpose is to do whats Just & Fair for the collective Society as a whole ... individuality shouldnt play that much a role imo. government guides a country to a better future outcome if done correctly
Mite as well just blur the whole dam video..........this is getting ridiculous
28:55 I dont know what Joe did or why he was on death row, but people should acknowledge he also saved a life (or at least helped). That of Earl.
i see lots of hate in the comments. But just like Jerry, maybe some need to be wronged by the justice system to understand that on death row and in prison, there is still a good chance to have innocent people. You cannot undo an execution.
Thanks,
I don’t think this is a new video…I saw this before. Good show, though
I’m not ultra religious or anything I grew up Baptist and I coulda swore something was said In the Bible about an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth. Take a life and you forfeit yours no?!?!?
An eye for an eye makes the world go blind
@@biblereadingmum1239Stop
Yes. It’s in Exodus.
.....only problem with that is it is a quote from the Old Testament, which, for Christians , has been overcome by the words of Jesus in the New Testament telling us to love our enemies, and do good to those who hate you.
I absolutely agree with you 100%.
Rest in peace Jerry givens!
Extraordinary documentary!
It really is. Jerry going out of his way to meet Earl all those years later is just wow.
how many people are already wrongly in prison because the police are sloppy in investigating the crime?
It took the police 20 minutes to get to a murder? The man said I heard her screaming for help and then choking noises. They didn't think it was important enough to break in they didn't think it was important enough to hurry to the scene.??? But the next day they want to run up the stairs????? And then there's cop cars surrounding the apartment building for one dead woman? What a bunch of incompetent jokes what an embarrassment. Their job is to protect the public They did not protect and serve! I hope those officers that took 20 minutes to get to that scene closes their eyes every night when they go to sleep and they see her face!
just what im thinking as well
And the neighbour just went to sleep after calling the police?
If I were her parents I would be absolutely livid. I would sue the police department and I'm sorry but I couldn't forgive that POS if he killed my daughter. But that's their decision she was not my child. It seems like we're living in a very sick Society if you ask me. I've seen videos of people that were on the verge of death needing help but no one would even go near the person because that meant they would have to put their phone down and stop filming! This generation a lot of them don't check up on their parents. They could be dead for months and they would never know. The neighbor going back to sleep after calling the police? There's no way I would have been able to do that. if I was married or had a boyfriend and after they called 911 I would tell them to go bang on the door at least. And I think every man should have a gun that's just how I feel especially in this day and age I would tell my husband that you're going to go knock on the door while I stay on the phone at least bang on the door & yell I called the police! I guarantee you the police would have came if they thought you had a gun and you're knocking on your neighbor's door to save her life I bet you they would have been there within 2 minutes. Mention the word gun they will lose their ever loved in mind racing there
I think all convicted should be made to work in prison and pay almost all of their paychecks to the victims of thier crimes!!
But that would cut into the profits of prisons... who like most everything in America now are corporate, for profit, entities!
They have laws in the US now in some places where if you DUI and take a life and they had children you have to pay them like "child support." Could be pay for others too. I think its a great thing to do. Make them pay. Not sure what areas. I just remember it passed into law not long ago.
Overpopulation in prison is a real thing and we can't keep giving everyone life without parole we need solutions supported by the government because I'm convinced they will always choose death over police and law reform
The parent Vicki is wrong. She does not want her daughters murderer put to death .which is fair enough, but now she advocates to get rid of the death penalty in other states it's wrong because her choice for her murderer is her choice and people respect it but others will want the death penalty so she should respect their choices and not get rid of the death penalty
Most people in the comments with all there angry thoughts Have never contributed half of what The parents of The Schieber half contributed, it’s easy to follow the crowd but hard to stand alone.
Good documentary
One day the Human Race will evolve on to a higher moral plateau, the intense emotions that people feel will level out, and everyone, all over the world will benefit from it.

This old great documentary tho 😞
I believe only God can give and take life. I do believe there are some crimes that can make people think about it. But I'm against it. I think life in prison is worse. And guilt free
It is a struggle for everyone. To understand what is right and what is justice. In a modern era, we have ways to prove some people on Death Row are innocent with DNA test. Many years in the past there were people condemned to death that could have been innocent... We also have the issue of a terrible crime of a child that may have been murdered. The criminal is caught and could get life in prison, or the Death sentence... How do you feel about the fact that maybe a man at age 30 would be given a life sentence... or.. the death sentence for the murder of a child... He could have lived to 75 in prison and be alive... or be terminated at age 31 . Then not face any human suffering.... Which is the answer...? The child may have only been 6 years old and had no future on earth... should the man be terminated and not have any future life .. or should he be in prison till he dies... could be the best answer, if he was a threat to the public if he was paroled in 30 years... or if it will cost a lot more to keep him alive in prison for many years... Or it would be better to sentence him to death.... providing that he is proven, with real hard evidence he is the right person that committed the crime...and is guilty.. that he should be sentenced to death... The answer is regarding each different crime that happens as to how it should be carried out...
This wasn't a fair documentary, it was a one sided anti death penalty documentary
Where did it claim to be anything else? Go look for other materials that support the opposite position dont be intellectually lazy. Do the work.
@sashalawrence4786 please really is that the only argument you can come up with, sshh be quiet n head back to your university lecture
Are you forgetting the executioner and what he said?
@waynet... they usually are, aren't they? 'They' make the 'suggestion' of how a convicted murderer 'could be innocent'. The viewer is then supposed to get the 'feels' of poor, poor murderer could be innocent - abolish the death penality!!
I don't know how many innocent murderers have been executed, but, I also never saw a documentary on how an 'innocent murderer' was executed either. Maybe because there is not a lot, if any...
No one likes to document the 'innocent' person who got murdered, which is sad. The mental gymnastics is crazy.
Did the title give it away? Genius
Why would they want a shower and why would you feel the need to give it. I am a pragmatic person and if it doesnt make sence i see no use for it. I see the need for food but not soap.
