Excuse me, sir.

the people on death row should
have a right to an appeal?

everything he gets for what
he did to that girl.

worse than that.

You're fine.

won't meet with us personally,
but he may--

attend the clemency hearing.

They assured us
that he'd meet us.

the pardon board ruling
"under advisement."

here this morning from Boston,
49
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:43,366
and Channel Three's
Elizabeth Knox was there.
50
00:02:43,433 --> 00:02:45,700
No, I don't think it's over
by any means.
51
00:02:45,766 --> 00:02:48,633
Governor Benning has assured us
that he will personally
attend the clemency hearing...
52
00:02:48,700 --> 00:02:51,633
and I have confidence
he'll see that my client
did not receive a fair trial.

a jailhouse confession
to him,

after the prosecution offered
to reduce his sentence.

only one witness...

of abuse at the hands

If you're suggesting ineffective
assistance of counsel,
110
00:06:35,833 --> 00:06:38,933
the United States Supreme
Court has already rejected
that claim.

found he had not raised
the issue in a timely fashion.

What's the difference between
a polygraph and a lie detector?
273
00:15:39,105 --> 00:15:40,938
A polygraph
is a lie detector.
274
00:15:41,005 --> 00:15:44,505
Okay, so this

why is it so important?
275
00:15:44,572 --> 00:15:46,472
I thought
they were inadmissible.
They are.
276
00:15:46,538 --> 00:15:51,238
But if the prosecution took a
polygraph and the result in any
way suggested Randy's innocence,
277
00:15:51,305 --> 00:15:53,605
the law is they got to turn
that over to the defense.
278
00:15:53,672 --> 00:15:55,672
If they didn't,
it's prosecutorial misconduct.
279
00:15:55,738 --> 00:15:57,938
If they did and
the defense ignored it,
280
00:15:58,005 --> 00:16:00,505
well, then that's
ineffective assistance
of counsel.
281
00:16:00,572 --> 00:16:02,605

for a stay of execution?

I don't really know him.
But that's not the point.
286
00:16:13,538 --> 00:16:15,572
Who or what he is
is beside the point?
287
00:16:15,638 --> 00:16:18,872
What he is is black,
among other things.
There's a point to that.
288
00:16:18,938 --> 00:16:22,372
So this is a question
of race with you?
The death penalty is about race.
289
00:16:22,438 --> 00:16:26,105
The fact is if you're
a person of color and you kill
a white man in this country,
290
00:16:26,172 --> 00:16:29,472
or, God forbid, you do what
they say Randy Jefferson did
and kill a white girl,
291
00:16:29,538 --> 00:16:32,005
you are 12 times more likely
to end up on death row...
292
00:16:32,072 --> 00:16:33,872
than a white man for killin'
a black person.

you can actually argue in court.

00:17:57,772 --> 00:18:02,838
Okay, then, uh, I'm gonna go
make a few phone calls,
stay on top of things.
314
00:18:02,905 --> 00:18:04,938
You sure you're okay?
315
00:18:05,005 --> 00:18:07,138
I's fine.
316
00:18:07,205 --> 00:18:10,705
Then, uh,
I'll see ya then.
317
00:18:14,772 --> 00:18:17,738
You ever have an operation?
In a hospital, I mean?
318
00:18:17,805 --> 00:18:20,472
[ Interviewer ]No, actually,I haven't.
319
00:18:20,538 --> 00:18:23,138
I had my appendix out
when I was 13.
320
00:18:23,205 --> 00:18:27,538
And they put a mask
over your face and tell you
to count backwards from 10.
321
00:18:27,605 --> 00:18:29,172
And then... nothing.
322
00:18:29,238 --> 00:18:32,205
That's how this goes.
Faster.
323
00:18:32,272 --> 00:18:36,938
Except he'll never wake up.
324
00:18:37,005 --> 00:18:39,172
Bobby says
not a fair trial.
325
00:18:39,238 --> 00:18:44,338
Okay, I think it's worth
a look, or two, or three.
326
00:18:44,405 --> 00:18:47,372
But the way I read it,
they pinned the guy.
327
00:18:47,438 --> 00:18:50,938
He's guilty,
he pays the price.
328
00:18:51,005 --> 00:18:54,238
It's supposed to be
the most humane way.
329
00:18:57,205 --> 00:19:00,172
And they just go to sleep.
330
00:19:00,238 --> 00:19:02,738
Like they do
to a dog or a cat.
331
00:19:02,805 --> 00:19:05,338
They just go.
332
00:19:05,405 --> 00:19:08,072
It's merciful, right?
333
00:19:11,672 --> 00:19:17,272
As of 11:30 this morning, the
state supreme court has denied
Mr. Jefferson's latest appeal.
334
00:19:17,338 --> 00:19:19,438
My office has filed
in federal district court...
335
00:19:19,505 --> 00:19:22,538
and we are confident
they will uphold that ruling.
336
00:19:22,605 --> 00:19:26,172
Look. Eugene says Randy's
old lawyer never heard
of any lie detector.
337
00:19:26,238 --> 00:19:28,172
He says even though
he was in over his head,
338
00:19:28,238 --> 00:19:30,438
he would have never
ignored a polygraph result.
339
00:19:30,505 --> 00:19:33,405
Where are we with that witness,
Frank Dugger?
340
00:19:33,472 --> 00:19:35,772
Uh, Lindsay, hold on.
Call waiting.
341
00:19:35,838 --> 00:19:37,772
Yeah?
342
00:19:39,205 --> 00:19:42,972
Right. Right.
Exit eight.
343
00:19:43,038 --> 00:19:46,105
Got it. Thanks.
Thanks a lot.
344
00:19:46,172 --> 00:19:49,538
Okay. That was
the parole officer.
We got him.
345
00:19:49,605 --> 00:19:53,205
Dugger works at some
burger joint off I-70.
I'll head out there after--
346
00:19:53,272 --> 00:19:55,572
Ah, we're just
getting started here.
347
00:19:55,638 --> 00:19:59,038
Uh, I don't know
when I'm gonna be done.
I'll get Eugene.
348
00:19:59,105 --> 00:20:01,472
How you guys holdin' up?
349
00:20:01,538 --> 00:20:03,405
Yeah, me too.

[ Walgren ]
Yes, Alice?
351
00:20:05,772 --> 00:20:09,305
Is the Fifth Circuitconsidering anythingnot raised in state court?
352
00:20:09,372 --> 00:20:11,738
No. There are no new issues.
353
00:20:11,805 --> 00:20:15,605
This case has been litigated
for seven years.
354
00:20:15,672 --> 00:20:18,772
It's almost over.
[ Bobby ]Excuse me, Mr. Walgren.
355
00:20:18,838 --> 00:20:21,072
Mr. Donnell?
We have information that
a witness, Frank Dugger,
356
00:20:21,138 --> 00:20:23,505
may have been given
a lie detector test
by your office...
357
00:20:23,572 --> 00:20:26,105
prior to his testifying
against Randy Jefferson.
358
00:20:26,172 --> 00:20:28,438
Do you have a comment?
359
00:20:28,505 --> 00:20:30,972
That is absolutely ridiculous.
360
00:20:31,038 --> 00:20:36,438
I will say this, Mr. Donnell.
Mr. Dugger came forward
voluntarily with his testimony.
361
00:20:36,505 --> 00:20:39,772
Based solely on the specificity
and detail of that statement,
362
00:20:39,838 --> 00:20:42,038
my office concluded
we had a credible witness.
363
00:20:42,105 --> 00:20:45,672
[ Woman ] Mr. Walgren.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you very much.
364
00:20:45,738 --> 00:20:50,572
We have a piece of evidence
that Mr. Dugger did
a lie detector test.
365
00:21:01,205 --> 00:21:03,272
I'm lookin'for Frank Dugger.
366
00:21:11,538 --> 00:21:13,972
Well, enlighten me.
It's what I said.
367
00:21:14,038 --> 00:21:16,105
Whatever's there,
that's what I said.
368
00:21:16,172 --> 00:21:20,072
Well, Frank, you said a lot
of things over the years.
The man killed her.
369
00:21:20,138 --> 00:21:24,005
Looked me right in
the eyes and told me so.
Told me how he stabbed her.
370
00:21:24,072 --> 00:21:28,472
And you took it upon yourself
to inform the district attorney?
I had to.
371
00:21:28,538 --> 00:21:33,005
You hear somethin' like that--
I was losin' sleep.
372
00:21:33,072 --> 00:21:36,938
And the D.A., Walgren,
he accepted your story?
Yeah. So?
373
00:21:37,005 --> 00:21:40,738
It didn't bother anybody that
people you share cells with have
a funny habit of confessing?
374
00:21:40,805 --> 00:21:45,072
Hey, I'm a good listener.
When you came forward with
Randy Jefferson's confession,
375
00:21:45,138 --> 00:21:48,038
did the D.A. give you
a lie detector test?
376
00:21:48,105 --> 00:21:50,972
What?
I read in the paper where
you said they gave you a test.
377
00:21:51,038 --> 00:21:53,438
You read a lot of things
in the paper.
Did they give you a test?
378
00:21:53,505 --> 00:21:55,838
I don't recall.
You don't recall?
379
00:21:55,905 --> 00:21:58,005
Frank, a man
is about to die.
380
00:21:58,072 --> 00:22:02,205
If you are
in any way responsible,
I will never go away.
381
00:22:02,272 --> 00:22:05,172
You know how long
"never" is?
382
00:22:09,705 --> 00:22:12,138
Not in front of them.

It's like the
air gettin' tighter,
heatin' up.
386
00:22:20,438 --> 00:22:26,138
Like you want to rip off
your clothes, but it ain't
your clothes, it's everything.
387

That's just what it's like.
388
00:22:29,538 --> 00:22:32,805
People say it's justice.
But, the row--
389
00:22:32,872 --> 00:22:36,205
the row ain't justice.

And one day,
they gonna do it.

all of us,
we're already dead.
395
00:23:07,772 --> 00:23:12,405
11:50, thereabouts,
we'll initiate
the preparation protocol--
396
00:23:12,472 --> 00:23:15,772
fitting Jefferson
to the table itself,
attaching monitor cables,
397
00:23:15,838 --> 00:23:17,972
intravenous tube,
et cetera.
398
00:23:18,038 --> 00:23:21,238
At 11:55, we'll do
the final rundown,
399
00:23:21,305 --> 00:23:24,538
and I issue
the execution order.
400
00:23:24,605 --> 00:23:29,238
Uh, at that point, we also,
uh, seat the witnesses
in the viewing area.
401
00:23:29,305 --> 00:23:31,672
At exactly one minute
past the hour of 12:00,
402
00:23:31,738 --> 00:23:35,672
the technician initiates
a flow of Sodium Pentothal.
403
00:23:35,738 --> 00:23:38,038
That's a barbiturate,
puts him to sleep.
404
00:23:38,105 --> 00:23:42,705
And after that,
pancuronium bromide
and potassium chloride...
405
00:23:42,772 --> 00:23:45,372
are administered
in lethal concentrations.
406
00:23:45,438 --> 00:23:49,305
And that is it.
I don't foresee
any complications.

Of course you never know.
How do you mean?

to the ending of human life.

upstairs, and he somehow
got her up to the roof...

and he killed her.

You don't know my office.
If you withheld a lie detector
result, I know enough.
633

You know, I asked
some buddies of mine up north
what they knew about you.

They felt it was a bit
hypocritical for you...

Let me just make
a brief statement.
654
00:41:41,301 --> 00:41:46,835
Shortly after midnight
at the Cedar Springs Maximum
Security Facility,
655
00:41:46,901 --> 00:41:51,201
the sentence of death
was carried out upon
Randall DeWitt Jefferson.

At 12:02, the procedure
was initiated.

By 12:03, the condemned
was fully unconscious...
658
00:41:58,568 --> 00:42:02,368
and death was pronounced
just a few minutes ago...
659
00:42:02,435 --> 00:42:05,301
at exactly 12:19.
660
00:42:06,835 --> 00:42:09,601
His final words were...
661
00:42:09,668 --> 00:42:13,268
that he was innocent
of the crime for which
he had been convicted,
662
00:42:13,335 --> 00:42:16,768
that he asked pardon
of any people he had hurt,
663
00:42:16,835 --> 00:42:20,668
and, uh, for their prayers.
