00:03:23,264 --> 00:03:28,896
This time the Bandit pulled the girl into his car her boyfriend escaped

00:03:29,152 --> 00:03:32,736
Try to rape the girl
34
00:03:33,248 --> 00:03:39,392
Unable to complete the ACT here again forced his victim to perform fellatio before releasing her
35
00:03:39,648 --> 00:03:45,792
The next day after an armed robbery at Redondo Beach the suspect car was chased and stopped
36
00:03:46,048 --> 00:03:47,584
One of the men in it ran off
37
00:03:58,080 --> 00:04:03,200
Glendale California

00:04:13,696 --> 00:04:15,232
I wasn't able to support his family

00:04:19,071 --> 00:04:23,679
Jasmine had his first brush with the law at the age of 16

Text robbery the salt with a deadly weapon
44
00:04:40,063 --> 00:04:43,135

The San Quentin prison newspaper
46
00:04:50,815 --> 00:04:54,911

The red light Bandits vehicle
48
00:05:05,407 --> 00:05:06,687
And make it into a red light
49
00:05:07,199 --> 00:05:10,527
What happened next Remain the subject of dispute
50
00:05:14,623 --> 00:05:16,159
To being the red light Bandit
51
00:05:16,927 --> 00:05:18,719
But he claimed that he was brutally
52
00:05:26,143 --> 00:05:27,423
This was a crucial question
53
00:05:34,591 --> 00:05:37,151
Following the Abduction of Charles Lindbergh's baby son
54
00:05:37,407 --> 00:05:40,735
Kidnapping with bodily harm with intent to commit robbery
55
00:05:56,607 --> 00:05:59,167
He would technically be eligible for the death sentence
56
00:05:59,935 --> 00:06:03,007
Despite the fact that he had neither murdered or fully raped anyone
57
00:06:06,335 --> 00:06:12,479
Chapman's trial inflamed public opinion by greatly exaggerating the
58
00:06:23,999 --> 00:06:27,327
Jasmine Hartford attorneys among them Alan Matthews
59
00:06:27,839 --> 00:06:30,399
He finally represented himself not very competently
60
00:06:35,263 --> 00:06:38,847
But some observers thought that he was deliberately trying to ensure a mistrial
61
00:06:44,223 --> 00:06:46,527
The identification procedures were all subject
62
00:06:46,783 --> 00:06:47,295
Lock the floors
63
00:06:52,927 --> 00:06:54,975
Some of the descriptions of the Bandit fitted him
64
00:06:55,231 --> 00:06:55,999
Others did
65
00:06:58,303 --> 00:07:00,607
The jury found him guilty on 17 cards
66
00:07:00,863 --> 00:07:02,143
Including three of kidnapping
67
00:07:02,399 --> 00:07:03,935
And recommended the death penalty
68
00:07:10,335 --> 00:07:10,847
Like a cat
69
00:07:11,103 --> 00:07:13,663
Carol Chesney turned out to have nine lives
70
00:07:19,807 --> 00:07:22,623
His first attempt to save his life came in June 1948
71
00:07:23,135 --> 00:07:25,183
Shortly after he had been moved to San qu
72
00:07:25,951 --> 00:07:31,071
Shorthand notes
73
00:07:31,583 --> 00:07:33,119
Jasmine appealed for a new trial
74
00:07:38,495 --> 00:07:41,567
Another reporter the brother-in-law of the prosecuting attorney
75
00:07:46,175 --> 00:07:50,783
Unreadable
76
00:07:54,879 --> 00:07:56,671
About in June 1949
77
00:07:59,999 --> 00:08:02,047
Jasmine was not asked for his approval
78
00:08:04,607 --> 00:08:05,887
For the next 2 years
79
00:08:06,143 --> 00:08:11,519
The United States became fascinated by the revelations of major criminals during the kaffara inquiries
80
00:08:12,031 --> 00:08:17,151
4 to prove that the transcript was so inaccurate that a new trial must be called
81
00:08:18,175 --> 00:08:19,711
But in May 1951
82
00:08:19,967 --> 00:08:22,527
The US Supreme Court refused to consider his case
83
00:08:23,807 --> 00:08:26,367
Joe DiMaggio
84
00:08:29,439 --> 00:08:30,463
This rejected him
85
00:08:30,719 --> 00:08:34,047
Set a date for execution on the 28th of March 1952
86
00:08:40,447 --> 00:08:43,519
1952
87
00:08:44,031 --> 00:08:47,615
Supreme Court
88
00:08:52,735 --> 00:08:57,343
And then came the devastating news that the execution would be carried out on the 27th of June
89
00:09:05,535 --> 00:09:11,679
Leave to appeal his case
90
00:09:14,751 --> 00:09:20,639
For the rest of 1952 while the American public thrilled to the appearance of a new hero Hopalong Cassidy
91
00:09:20,895 --> 00:09:21,919
Jasmine
92
00:09:22,175 --> 00:09:23,455
What is bitter and lonely fight
93
00:09:23,711 --> 00:09:25,759
Like to prove that his original trial had been fa
94
00:09:26,783 --> 00:09:28,319
But in May 1953
95
00:09:31,135 --> 00:09:32,671
At the beginning of 1954
96
00:09:35,999 --> 00:09:39,583
Jasmine from taking his place in the gas Cham
97
00:09:42,655 --> 00:09:44,703
But then on the day before he was due to die
98
00:09:47,263 --> 00:09:51,359
Convinced California's Judge Thomas Keating to agree to another state of execution
99
00:09:54,943 --> 00:09:56,479
I've got some news for you
100
00:09:56,735 --> 00:09:58,271
You're going to be around for a little longer
101
00:10:14,399 --> 00:10:17,471
Pleading his case
102
00:10:18,751 --> 00:10:21,311
2455 death row
103
00:10:22,079 --> 00:10:24,127
It quickly became an international best
104
00:10:33,087 --> 00:10:38,975
Over the next 6 years
105
00:10:44,607 --> 00:10:47,423
Bethany had done nothing to deserve to be on death row
106
00:10:51,519 --> 00:10:56,895
The original identifications of him as the red light Bandit
107
00:10:57,151 --> 00:10:58,687
I've been incorrectly carried
108
00:11:15,583 --> 00:11:19,167
The California Supreme Court again refused to reconsider the case
109
00:11:19,679 --> 00:11:23,263
The new execution date was set for the 30th of July 1954
110
00:11:36,063 --> 00:11:38,111
California's attorney general was in fur
111
00:12:04,479 --> 00:12:06,783
Is the Seesaw legal battle continued
112
00:12:08,063 --> 00:12:09,343
In June 1957
113
00:12:09,599 --> 00:12:15,743
The US Supreme Court finally took the dramatic step of ordering the California courts to hold a new hearing on the whole
114
00:12:15,999 --> 00:12:17,791
Validity of the original Court transcripts
115
00:12:19,327 --> 00:12:20,351
For the first time
116
00:12:20,607 --> 00:12:23,423
Caryl Chessman must be present at the hearing
117
00:12:30,847 --> 00:12:36,991
Accompanied by the new attorneys that the income from his books had enabled him to employ
118
00:12:42,111 --> 00:12:48,255
And his lawyers went back and forth
119
00:12:59,007 --> 00:13:05,151
Legal justification for demanding the death penalty had now been removed
120
00:13:13,855 --> 00:13:18,463
On the state legislature had decided that the original law under which he had been condemned
121
00:13:20,767 --> 00:13:24,863
Parole eligibility to everyone else had been convicted under it
122
00:13:27,167 --> 00:13:31,775
Concentrate solely on the technical legal point on the trans
123
00:13:32,543 --> 00:13:34,591
I'm not taking any broader issues into account
124
00:13:36,383 --> 00:13:41,503
On the 7th of July 1959 chessman's attorneys Rosalie Asher and George Davis
125
00:13:41,759 --> 00:13:46,623
Would advise that the California Supreme Court decided that the transcript was substantially correct
126
00:13:50,975 --> 00:13:52,511
A new execution date was
127
00:13:53,023 --> 00:13:54,303
For the 24th of October
128
00:13:54,559 --> 00:13:55,583
1959
129
00:13:57,631 --> 00:13:59,423
How to retrieve a 4 years
130
00:13:59,679 --> 00:14:02,495
Faced with a definite date for execution
131
00:14:03,263 --> 00:14:05,055
But he announced his determination to fight
132
00:14:16,319 --> 00:14:18,111
An international petition was set up
133
00:14:29,119 --> 00:14:32,959
There was astonishment that a man could have been kept waiting for so many years
134
00:14:33,983 --> 00:14:35,263
In Italy
135
00:14:38,079 --> 00:14:42,431
11 years for the gas chamber has expedited his guilt
136
00:14:43,199 --> 00:14:46,527
Famous names who lent their support included Pope John the 23rd
137
00:14:47,039 --> 00:14:48,063
How much schweitz
138
00:14:50,367 --> 00:14:51,135
Eleanor Roosevelt
139
00:14:52,927 --> 00:14:54,463
Queen Fabiola of Belgium
140
00:14:56,511 --> 00:14:57,791
Pablo casals
141
00:14:59,327 --> 00:15:00,095
Shirley MacLaine
142
00:15:04,703 --> 00:15:05,983
Faced with this pressure
143
00:15:06,239 --> 00:15:08,031
California's governor Edmund Brown
144
00:15:08,287 --> 00:15:10,335
Announced that he was considering the Appeals
145
00:15:10,847 --> 00:15:13,151
The local political reaction proved too strong
146
00:15:13,663 --> 00:15:15,711
Turn on the 19th of October 1959
147
00:15:15,967 --> 00:15:17,503
He refused to grant clemency
148
00:15:18,527 --> 00:15:19,551
30 years later
149
00:15:19,807 --> 00:15:21,343
In his book public Justice
150
00:15:21,599 --> 00:15:22,367
Private Mercy
151
00:15:23,903 --> 00:15:26,719
Chessman was a nasty arrogant I'm repentant
152
00:15:27,231 --> 00:15:29,791
Almost 70 of the crimes he was convicted of
153
00:15:30,559 --> 00:15:32,863
But I don't think those crimes deserve the death penalty
154
00:15:35,935 --> 00:15:39,007
The seeds of doubt about the effectiveness of the death pen
155
00:15:41,311 --> 00:15:43,103
Can I watch the people that killed
156
00:15:43,871 --> 00:15:45,663
I concluded it didn't do any good
157
00:15:46,431 --> 00:15:50,015
Capital punishment or not
158
00:15:50,271 --> 00:15:51,295
For the state to do
159
00:15:51,807 --> 00:15:54,111
It seemed to me that it's cheaper to life
160
00:15:56,159 --> 00:15:56,927
Of everybody
161
00:15:58,463 --> 00:16:01,023
The effect on the officials involved also conc
162
00:16:05,119 --> 00:16:11,007
That's a terrible responsibility even though the jury and the courts of all decided he should die
163
00:16:11,775 --> 00:16:16,639
Nevertheless the petitions may have played a part in persuading US Supreme Court Justice Douglas
164
00:16:16,895 --> 00:16:18,943
To agree to another appeal to the Supreme Court
165
00:16:21,247 --> 00:16:23,295
Turn on the 11th of January 1960
166
00:16:23,551 --> 00:16:25,599
The quarter game refused to consider the case
167
00:16:26,623 --> 00:16:29,439
Can you execution date was set for the 19th of February
168
00:16:31,743 --> 00:16:34,815
Unexpected new twist with only one day to go
169
00:16:40,447 --> 00:16:44,799
The abolition of the death penalty in California
170
00:16:50,687 --> 00:16:51,455
To find a solution
171
00:17:04,255 --> 00:17:08,095
Would be allowed to hold a televised press conference
172
00:17:15,007 --> 00:17:17,823
I believe I have been all along I didn't know
173
00:17:18,079 --> 00:17:23,711
Do the one point there was a willingness on my part when the Great many friends prevailed on me to
174
00:17:24,223 --> 00:17:27,039
Consider accepting a connotation of sent
175
00:17:28,831 --> 00:17:33,183
And that was rejected and made a political issue why I have
176
00:17:33,439 --> 00:17:37,023
Decided since then that I'm either going to survive
177
00:17:37,791 --> 00:17:41,119
Be Vindicated and walk the streets of free man or
178
00:17:42,399 --> 00:17:44,191
I'm going to wind up dead
179
00:17:44,959 --> 00:17:48,543
What if you were to secure your release tomorrow
180
00:17:49,055 --> 00:17:52,127
