Oklahoma has the highest number of executions per capita of any state in the US. It’s executed 116 people over the last 50 years. We talked to an inmate about what it’s like to be sentenced to death, and to his brother about what it’s like to watch a loved one be executed.

Like with the perthetic gun law in America, it's time to stop executing people, it's wrong, keep them in prison rest of their lives,,,,,,to many innocent people have been executed in the past, here too in the UK,
What were he’s charges . I agree with the death penalty. Sone people need to be put down like dogs
Specially the blacks
This is one of the saddest videos I’ve seen in a long time
He brutally murdered two women in cold blood. That subhuman garbage didn't exit through any black hole.
Justice served
The young ladies who were murdered at the hands of this man didn't have a family member there to hold their hands while they died, the one lady died alone in a closet of her work place, while the other was shot 3 times in the face after she emptied the cash register at his request, 2 people working for a living had their lives taken from them……he didn't care, they were nothing to him….. Just because you have a bad childhood doesn't mean you get a free pass to harm other people…. period….
So let me get this straight when I got beat as a child I held all that in until I was an adult in my 30s or 40s and when I got a chance I let it all out I wouldn't kill somebody is that is the size of it is that what you're supposed to do and not pay for it.
so where in this video did you"follow" the inmate to the execution chamber. so tired of clickbates!
He’s been executed now and I really don’t care. I have more sympathy for his two innocent victims who’s lives are gone forever. I also don’t care that he was slightly mentally challenged because he knew exactly what he was doing when he committed that robbery and murder. Just because a person has slightly diminished mental capacity that doesn’t mean they don’t know what they’re doing.
This guy was a murderer. What he did to two other human beings was far worse than anything he suffered. F-him!
Why are we feeling bad for a murder. He made the choice to kill those people. Case closed. Think about what those two people this monster murdered had to go through in their final seconds. Screw this guy. I'm happy hes dead.
Jesus forgives everyone. His love is greater.
Let's follow the stories of all the victim families destroyed.
Justice is beautiful
It makes me feel physically ill watching this. I get it he murdered, but he also had a hard life. I’m not religious, but seeing those people praying was truly enlightening. All lives matter. Pray, even if you aren’t religious.
Ντροπησας μωρε κτηνη ειναι ανθρωπος οχι ζωων απαγορευεται ειναι ανθρωπος ουτε τα ζωα δεν τα μεταχειριζονται ετσι ειναι φονος και τι προσπαθης με αυτο τον τροπο να τον τιμωρησεις η να του αλαξεις το χαρακτηρα.ουδεις τελειος και αναμαρτητος ποιος εχει τοσο δυναμη να εκτελει ανθρωπους με τι ψυχη.
You take ones life weather that be physically , mentally , spiritually or whatever the case may be I believe hole heartedly 1 million percent you give what you take
Because when you trust pass upon another you do so willfully
Because that day may come upon you and you will stand alone ……………..
Thank God a monster is gone.
Are we supposed to feel sorry for the guy? if you kill people you get killed. That's how things have always worked. 🤷♂Sorry the brother had to witness all of this but ultimately the murderer set this up for himself.
Your brother should've been killed and then left to rot behind the prison for vultures, bugs and animals to eat. Did the women he murdered get a chance to have a loved one present for their death? Stop glorifying these murderers..
When you kill someone , u have to pay with your life !! It because you took away some one life which is too important from their love one . It the hurt and pain that you have inflict to people . U deserve no remorse or pity from the family that you have cause great grief of pain . Have your brother pay with his sins in hell torment eternality. Your brother which is dead which he deserves and no forgiveness will be forgiven for what he did in life, for he is a monster to the society that he live in
May he rest in peace .yes it is true that Joseph and his family are also victims in this case .but what their brother did and such a hanious crime he did by his own choosing and I never heard him once offer his appology or ask for forgiveness from the victims families . and I don't know what Joseph was expecting to happen when someone is excuted and him bringing up the fact they had snacks there and it was set up like being in a theater . Joseph I don't know what you were expecting it to be like and unfortunately it's a sad event for anyone to go through but I feel you were upset with the wrong people and the snack thing was common curtiousy to the family and people there . you chose not to take advantage of the beverages and snacks that's your prerogative . I think the person you were really upset with was your brother . for commiting such horrific crimes that took him away from family and friends. He had a choice but his victims did not and that's what makes all the difference . and to the family of his victims I am so sorry for their loss my condolences thoughts and prayers are with you always. Another issue I have with this case is. Using the excuse that his upbringing had something to do with his choice to murder in cold blood .alot of people have had even worse upbringings but they don't go around murdering people. Point here is don't choose to do something you later will regret 😉
This cut into a place in me where emotions have no name. I feel like we as humans just stopped at lock em up and or kill em 100 yrs ago and never went past that as to what to do with this type of violent human. Certainly there are those who know exactly how to turn off aggression internally. They sure know how to amplify it. I guess the prison system makes too much money to change things.
