Growing Up With A Killer Dad | Dad's In Death Row | Real Stories True Crime Documentary 

Typical sosiopat😢

@@monadahlstrm5843 He said '' she deserved it''. He is a monster.

@@larryrobertson2150 he is full of it!

True narcissist.

Yep, and smiled as he relived that experience!!! Worse part is he couldn’t even say what the “lesson” was about, or why he felt it was appropriate to give himself permission to put hands onto someone else to “teach” them? Just a sociopath times 100

There's really people who believed he shouldnt have been executed because he was "mentally ill" and "doesn't understand what he did". Which is complete bs, this guy is very self aware and knows what he did. He's just an evil bitter pos who killed his daughters out of petty vengeance knowing that was the worst possible way he could ever hurt his wife. Very arrogant even after the crimes.

Yea look at the idiot woman that’s defending him She should be put in the cell with him

@@dondressel452 Agreed, if you want to defend them, then you can be the one to live with them. Instead of trying to force them on the rest of the world...

@@astarothnyarlathotep3815 definitely

@@dondressel452 lmaoo he prolly would kill her too just cuz 😭 she need to take a seat

That's what I thought, he's so detached from what he did it's frightening. But I also think he's extremely manipulative, doesn't acknowledge the fact that he killed them to spite thier mother.

I bet he wouldn't be like that around real men, because he'll get put in his place, they must've had him jailed with weirdos like himself. It's sad it took so long to put him down.

Yeah, he was nuts, but not in a he-shouldn’t-be-executed kind of way. And it’s clear he didn’t have any real remorse for killing his daughters. It was clearly done just to her his wife.

He's a psychopath, not fully human; he has no real feelings.

A cartoon character...too stupid to pull it off, though.

Battagĺia is selfish and weak he killed two little girls God will judge him

Yes I've seen thousands of creeps but something about him made my skin really crawl .....

Psychopathic Smirk.

According to my relative (a prominent psychiatrist who worked with violent criminals), psycopaths are somewhere approaching 1% of the population, 15% of the prison population and are responsible for FIFTY % of serious violent offenses. The cure for psycopathy is ... Nothing. There is no cure.

@@tundrawomansays694 Pure Evil!!

Wow so your experience means his should be the exact same. Good to know

@@melancholymartialarts7095 No. it means that many others can spot the murderers lies of blaming everyone except himself.

Metoo

@@melancholymartialarts7095 not what he said, maybe read it correctly

Same here, I wished my father dead--drive off the St John Bridge coming home from work-/-but I suffered till the day I could get away and never see any of them again. That’s the ONLY thing any abused child clings to is, when we can get away, saving ourselves because there is no one to turn to and stop it.

I'm so sorry.

And I completely believe in the death penalty! They can't kill anyone else.

@@precioushines3346 I can't blame you for feeling that way, God bless you and your family.

I'm so sorry 😞

So sorry 💔😪💙💜 precious

*but you've never

A true psychopath.

I almost appreciate the way he spoke about it. Like it’s disgusting, but the fact that he just owned up to it fact for fact, while most abusers try to make excuses and lie and hide it, my thoughts are well if you’re an abuser and you own it 100% I’ll take that over someone trying to pretend they aren’t. Not in the sense that he’s any less evil, but, he’s evil and owns it, if that makes sense?

Well Duh nice observation.

AMEN!!😢

Yup, and I'm ngl. After hearing the crimes and what they've done to people, listening to that lady say "why are we killing people to show killing people is wrong?" That lady is really annoying tf outta me... 21:14

I didn’t do homework because I was caring for my siblings and parent. My iq is higher than average (apparently!)

His story on why he killed all those people is 100% BS too. All these killers are masters manipulators.

He didn't at all seem like he's a ALL on the spectrum. not at all. sounds like he is playing people big time. or did, rather. like woa. come ONNNNN. it's not that damn hard to see he's not as "dumb" as they said he was.

@@this.is.pointless on the spectrum means autistic :) autism and mental retardation are unrelated (except that both can result from genetic abnormality so they often occur together)

Ikr - I know a lot of very smart people who don't do their homework or classwork because they don't want to.

What's wrong with his daughter Christie (the way she talks)?

He would have cheerfully murdered her as well-she’s a fool to have anything to do with him

@@TheAtl198 It seems like she could be deaf.

@@TheAtl198 FA friedreich's ataxia. A speech impediment.

Agree!

Can you give some examples, instead of an opinion? Because there would be much more to say about that, that would be informative.

@@tonirose6776 sure, I'll give facts. I am also a trained medical professional, so hopefully my overall assessment is sufficient. Based on the time I associated with him, he was always alert and oriented to person, place and thing. He was able to perform day to day activities, without assistance or instructions. He was able to sufficiently communicate with staff, and inmates. Although, it would not have been my job, or would I have had the ability to administer a written exam, he functioned at least at a regular or average level, in comparison to hundreds of other inmates that live in the same conditions and environment. I have witnessed a small percentage of inmates that I feel were developmentally disabled. These disabilities are supposed to affect a person and be visible, no later than 22 years of age. For this reason, if a person was charged and arrested before the age of 22, and claims a developmental disability years past that age, and after receiving a death sentence, it should be extremely suspicious. Especially if a positive finding commutes the death sentence to a life sentence. If that happens, they go to a specialized unit in Rusk Texas. The Hodge unit was created for the developmentally disabled inmates in the Texas prison system. I also worked at this unit for years. I witnessed three death row inmates that I was familiar with, transfer from Polunsky death row, to Hodge. Two of the three did not belong at this unit. And one admitted to me, in confidence, that he had a really good lawyer, that was able to make the transfer happen. You must remember that these people commit unspeakable acts during the commission of a capital murder. And that these people took someone's or many someone's existence. Most of them would kill again, under certain conditions. But most of all, justice is important. If not to anyone living, then to the victim or victims that don't have a voice. The argument that seems to be present today more than ever, is that if your not certified expert, with a master's degree, with 20 years of experience, then you should have no voice on a topic in question. People should really try to listen to the average Joe in the trenches. Regular contact with these people day to day, is so much more accurate and truthful than a interview and written exam conducted by an "expert". The inmates start to see the officers as a piece of furniture. They speak freely, and act "normally". What ever an individuals normal is. That's why I wrote "true colors shine when they are behind prison walls, when they think no one is watching." Anyway, I hope I was able to pass on some interesting information. I have considered writing a digital book about my experiences. The entire system is so secretive and should be brought to the publics eye.

@@pup9892 Thanks!

@@pup9892 do you believe in the death penalty, Do you think any of the men in death row are innocent

@@traceygriffiths8594 Good questions. I do believe that the death penalty is necessary. However, only for the true monsters. The monsters that killed for pleasure, and or for greed, and take a human life with no remorse. The monsters that kill their children, so the wife can't have them. The people that can not be rehabilitated. They will always be a danger society, or correctional staff. Now, that I have said all that, at least half of the people on death row are not monsters. I do believe that many of them could be a productive member of the prison society, serving a life sentence. And yes, I believe that innocent people are on death row. I only say that because the justice system is not perfect. And mistakes are made. But I have never reviewed an inmates information and felt that they were wrongfully convicted. That's just my opinion. I do wish the death penalty was not needed. Unfortunately, at times, it may be the only course of action for true justice, and to protect the public.

Im baffled too - there was ample footage of him indicating he knew what was going to happen to him and why. Fortunately the judge saw through his bullshit. Frankly if my dad killed my brother and sister I would want to stick a knife in his heart so I dont understand the daughter.

Straight evil

he need to be pampered and much respect from his female partner otherwise he is in terrible pain of a hurt ego

Three found him INcompetent. Four found him competent. Majority 'won'.

My heart goes out to His daughter what's the real truth is he met Jesus face to face his judge.

Were there 2 men or one. It got confusing.

2

The court system fails many. Too many

Exactly

Thank you if l was thier mother l would legally sue the family court system. Why would you subject children to a person who is physically abusive to the spouse. It should been supervised in a police station or family court room. Once again the state of Texas is arbitrarily inconfident system that does more harm to its people.

He is a psychopath. He has no feelings for anyone but himself. The daughter is still in denial.

He probably didnt hate her mother as much as MaryAnn...

@@truthteller9071 his daughter seems to have a few screws loose herself

That has got to mess you up mentally. Like your entire life was a gamble darling. The wrong move and your daddy would've been ready to take you out of this world. Its got to mess you up. And he was so nice to her too.

She seemed to be slurring a bit.

People that work parole boards should be street smarts ahead of most people, but they are academically smart & this isn’t worth much in real life like street smarts is, these posh types are usually the least street smart people there is yet it’s these types with all the power!!

He wrote the definition of psychopath.

well atleast he’s in the ground now but the scary thing is that there are people like him alive walkin this earth

He mocked his victims pleading for their lives and seemed to relish in their suffering. I think the reasons they use to argue against the death penalty is wrong, you shouldnt go "You cant kill people because they have low iq and dont know what theyre doing" You go "INNOCENT PEOPLE CONTINUE BEING EXECUTED FOR CRIMES THEY DID NOT COMMIT"

That’s right I was bullied it didn’t make me a killer

I was bullied too at school even til this day. But I don't even wanna think of getting a gun and kill people because they bully me. He sure knows what he was doing and I bet he enjoy having that guns. But gosh his daugher really creepy too

people with low IQs have notoriously bad impulse control. it is likely that he knew what he was doing was wrong, but lacked impulse control. also, my grandfather was murdered and if his murderer had been sentenced to death, i would be fighting it. we don’t all crave revenge. it doesn’t do anything to restore my loved one’s life.

I was bullied in school and I feel bad killing bugs. It’s normal to be angry at the people who bullied you, but not to the level of choosing violence.

Well I thought he was scary enough to make my comment 😕

Absolutely!! Utter creep and sicko!

@Consistency main Settle down sunshine, its going to be okay.

@@susanyoung6632 Yes. Relatively few criminals are psychopaths but he definitely is one of the few. When you interview them they make the hair stand up on the back of your neck. You can feel this guy all the way through the screen before you even hear what his crime is.

Vile, cocky arrogant fool

I guess shes able to disassociate her own personal memories with her dad with the murders. She grew up and as a kid, you mostly are focused on how you feel not others. Kids are selfish naturally. Survival mechanism from birth. He was good to her per her. BUT he was also psychotic. Talk about the mental torment that caused and I'd imagine some deep trust issues throughout life. Thinking you you know someone, until you don't and one of the two people who are supposed to be your protectors, is actually a monster. I don't think I personally would be able to trust anyone honestly.

Saying that she's glad they're dead so they don't have to know that he would be executed - she sounds just as narcissistic as her father.

@@jturtle5318 No, this isn’t “narcissism.” In her mind their suffering is over. Her’s continues.

Seriously. "Well he didn't abuse me so idk how I feel ... "

@@jturtle5318 Once again, folks, we have a real winner here in the compassion department. BTW, when did you get your psychology degree?

I don't think the court and prison staff would find that statement alone suspicious but the girl's reaction, having to be physically forced to in order to be in compliance with the court order sure should have. Unfortunately the Parents that lie in family court in order to withhold visitation have ruined the trust of the courts that it's not just another Parental Alienation case. Eileen Campos is a good example but it sure seems the wrong Parents get all the rights while good Parents lose theirs :-(

Insane!

exactly! I was like, no way this part is true... Who does that?!

Right??!!

Makes me so mad. It would worry me if I was the one making the decision. “One more day.” My answer would have been “absolutely not!”

@@ED80s was that his wife?

Wow, he really believes that garbage?

KEY WORD CALCULATED! ABSOLUTELY

Same

We need to teach people how to cut others out of their lives. The ability to hold people to a standard of behavior or get away from them is severely under valued. Instead, children are taught to love and forgive their parents because "they're your family" like that means anything.

I hated my father because he used to mistreat my sister for a stupid reason . If he’d done something like that I would have pulled the switch myself too

@@ima206chick Yepp!!

@@evemorrow2983 I agree with you.

Thank you, I felt exactly the same way!

I genuinly think those roses he claimed were to 'represent his kids' were just props for pity points

Lmao damn 🤣

He loves roses. What's wrong with that? 🤔

He definitely would’ve. But they don’t use that checklist anymore

John Battaglia is a perfect example of a malignant grandious narcissist. I have to admit that I am totally disgusted by him.

So after he picked them up from the mom he killed them?

5 people would disagree.

@@opencarrier8607 And that is why in no normal country they are not allowed to judge their own case.Yes, I know these five are dead.

@@246trixieBased on what exactly?

It could have been nerves ! I know I smile sometimes when I’m uncomfortable/nervous …

Bingo

It's called the gallows laugh and smile

That wasn't a smile of pleasure. She was showing discomfort at having to baldly state what her father had done.

That was a smile of embarrassment. She doesn't condone her dads actions and nobody k ows how they'd feel in that situation. M sure he really was a sweet dad. That's her version of who he was without condoning his one act of horrific violence

Hopefully they chose not to deal with it

They allowed him on good faith because he hadn't abused his daughters

@@violinistoftaupo ....that they KNEW OF....

@@violinistoftaupo Which was incredibly faulty reasoning, primarily by the judge who allowed him regular visitation on this basis.

Yup, as a family law attorney, I know plenty of judges who just don't listen.

It wasn’t an attack- according to him, it was a ‘correction’. Wtf????? I’d hate to see what a real attack would be to him… oh, that’s right, I guess a real attack would be to kill his own children! Or, in his mind was that just another ‘correction’ towards the ex wife? Probably. What a monster!

@Sewwfffyhjijui Yeeeeaaa, he’s a special one

This is standard abuser narcissist language. Never accepting responsibility for their own violence.

But "she moved her head the wrong way", so the broken nose was her fault..!

@@oliviamartini9700 oh well that makes sense why didn’t I think of that?

I get the conflict in the living remaining daughter, some what but, I don't think I'm going out on a limb here when I say that she was also in great danger from Battaglia. (Don't care if I spelled his name wrong! 😅)

He should have been executed few hours after he was sent to death, not keep this animal live more years. how did you allow this beast to talk live on TV.

He is obviously intelligent and even if he were not, he knew it was wrong to murder his own kids.

@@WindDancer435 I think Abream was talking about Coy "Elvis", not the Battaglia monster.

I agree with Abream. I knew a man who commited an armed robbery and faked mentally challenged min order to receive a lesser sentence by asking for an IQ test, but deliberately answered many questions wrong. I wonder how often this sort of thing happens in our system

@@chelseamercer3825 too often!!

Just like satan in the world- fooling people he/she is even better- we need saving thru Jesus to be right with God by the work of Holy Spirit- the Witness we have become 💕😎

@UCugODRk6dcFd2_oNOqjFVqA not really. Wouldn't his social intelligence know it was wrong? I don't think he has that low of IQ.

He knows the difference between right and wrong! That’s what matters!! I worked with the mentally ill for 30 years and many were sent to prison for felonious crimes because they could decipher between right and wrong. That’s the criteria. There was so much abuse with the insanity plea that they now have “mentally ill but guilty”. Those that fall under that category go to prison as they should. Just because someone has a mental illness it does not mean they’re insane.

Same

There's no way that his IQ is 66! If you can judge your own IQ as being so low - it isn't that low.

You would only want to run into him in a truck at 100mph

Thank you. I knew she wasn’t intoxicated. I couldn’t figure out if she suffered from some sort of speech disability or if she was mentally so tortured by what she’d been going thru for 15 yrs, she could barely speak . She seemed at any minute she was going to explode. Her speech made me anxious. Once again, thank you for sharing your knowledge..

Thanks for the info. I wondered about her, but thought she's just a bit slow. I googled the disease. Never new about it!

Thank you for the information. I did wonder if perhaps she was deaf.

Thank you

@@firstbornmaidenname1321 sure thing 😊

I feel for Christine also - I suspect he didn’t invite her over that night and kill all the sisters at the same time is that he wanted someone to grieve for him. So glad Christine described her dad as a narcissist, to me this indicates she is seeing the real person through adult eyes, not just through her child’s eyes where she was not aware of what was really going on For Christine, I suspect her dad “died” the day he tried to murder her mom, the time he beat her stepmom in front of her, and the day he murdered her step sisters - after that the monster was revealed and her dad was a person in her memory

It killed me to see her so upset. Not only did she lose her sisters, but she also lost her dad. I can't imagine how she felt knowing her dad murdered her sisters. It's obvious she still loves her dad and she loved her sisters too. Such a hard situation to be in.

And it is PURE HUMAN. Just imagine what other animals have to endure, because of US.

I was mind blown hearin that, oh my freakin gosh!!!

I don't think it was made explicity clear, if it was I missed it, but Kelley's brother was speaking from prison. He is also a convicted felon serving time (or was at the time of this taping). So, of course, he's not going to put any blame on his brother and, of course, he thinks he should live.

As the shooter, you can control it

Yes that gave me chills!

I hope they keep their eye on her. Probably be a documentary about her soon.

I don't think it was a smile, I think it was a wince.

Right

She's so damaged, she has my sincerest sympathy, she has a life sentence she never deserved. She is a truly innocent, tortured soul.

Must say that I wholeheartedly agree with the Supreme Courts ruling. Battaglia has a very crisp and aware attitude. This is someone who has nothing left to lose... a man who snapped and lay his anger upon children and thus ensuring the worst pain possible to the mother. He knew what he was doing and it’s clear that he’s very aware of his interaction with us the spectator.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Yeah me also, he is beyond dangerous. Best thing for his is to put to death, he serves zero purpose to anybody.

He is the most evil thing have ever seen. You can feel the evil radiate from him just watching him.

And his daughter saying oh yeah Faith and Liberty aren’t here but that’s good because they won’t feel her pain! They’re dead, stupid, their lives cut short and you’re weeping for your father as if their deaths meant nothing.

@@wandakowalski7063 yep.. that hit me harder than his statements because it was clear that he was a psychopath. But that daughter of his...the constant sobbing.. Okay.. Then that statement..

damn right

Like said even if you may be mental not 100% you still know right or wrong.

Well said

Canadian here, too. I am adamantly opposed to the death penalty and so glad and relieved we don't have it in our country. It was interesting to hear in the doc how one person said how bloodthirsty (my characterization) the population and the justice system was in Texas. Texans do not have a good reputation of being civilized due to attitudes like many of those expressed in these comments today; because of the prevalence - not to mention legality -of guns; and because of the death penalty so often being carried out, when more rational and compassionate other states, and many other countries ,have outlawed this state crime.

@@tonirose6776 as a fellow Canadian I am appalled by the idiocy of the Anti-capital punishment activists. You obviously have no knowledge of the number of innocent victims that have died at the hands of "rehabilitated" killers. Killers that are constantly being paroled by bleeding hearts that don't give a damn about the dead victims. A former coworker of mine in B.C. was convicted of first degree murder. He was sentenced to life in prison with no parole for 25 years. He was released after serving eight years and six months. Free to kill again. You say that the death penalty is not a deterrent. Well, I can guarantee that it will deter the executed killer from ever killing again! You and your kind bear the responsibility and guilt for the deaths of everyone killed by a paroled murderer. But, you don't care because you are to self righteous to acknowledge the harm that you condone by denying that some people need to be executed to protect the innocent people that will die in the future. You call execution a "crime". It is a crime only if the law forbids it. Since the law in many states upholds it, it is NOT a crime. But, then you don't seem to be concerned about mere trifles like what crime truly is. I used to be surprised that people like you could be so uncaring for the victims of the killers past and the potential victims of the future. You are more concerned with protecting the killer. You are mentally ill. Please seek psychiatric help.

As a fellow Canadian, I TOTALLY support the death penalty for these losers. I wish Canada would bring it back.

Why is it relevant that you're a Canadian? Nobody cares where you are from.

I'm sure they already know. The death penalty is a hotly protested debate. It's been that way a long time

@@kristinowens899 It wasnt about if they know, its about how they FEEL

They did interview a family member in this video. He was the man in prison, on the phone being interviewed. In his case he said he had forgiven the person who killed his brother even though it destroyed his whole family. This was a very hard documentary to watch.

It's one thing to oppose the death penalty on principle, but these protestors are acting like the killers are innocent.

@@bmortloff If you oppose the death penalty on principle, then you oppose it for all. That’s the whole point...

That is what you say now.

Well, then it will be a surprise for you that she's not an addict or has a history of abusing drugs. And by the way, her having problems with controlling her movements is due to a medical condition.

The eldest daughter has Friedrichs Ataxia, which causes slurred speech

Yes. She needs help . Her dad is the biggest narcissist ever.

She’s traumatised from the events so of course she needs help. There’s definitely an attitude that you have to stick by your family no matter what, I think she struggles to look at her dad and see the man who murdered her sisters rather than the dad he was to her growing up.

Being raised by a malignant narcissist I know first hand what it’s like to feel empathy for someone who absolutely does not deserve it. It took decades of abuse for me to try and see the evil my mother embodies, and sometimes I still struggle with it.

Not quite: she's not championing him or calling him innocent. She's in pain because of conflicting emotions of love they experienced together when she was a child. It's difficult to let go of those powerful feelings. (Not saying he's lovable.)

That IS her dad

there was cheering when he was pronounced dead. It was later at night and pretty cold (Feb 1) but I was out there. I’ll never forget it.

He was happy that he wasn't going to suffer. He would be treated humainly and killed by a merciful method.

If they stayed his execution and overturned the death penalty to life without parole he would not have suffered. He enjoyed being in prison and talking to anyone who would listen to him. The other guy truly sounds like he is suffering more by being alive in there

Bart Whitaker is another monster who was 40 minutes away from getting the needle before his death sentence was commuted to life without parole in February 2018. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Bartlett_Whitaker

And many other innocent who have been exexuted are the perfect example why its not needed.

@@jamiegarcia1550 I think we need worse than firing squads for murderers. I like the electric chair, gas chamber, hangings, etc but I think we need to get even more creative. Drawn and quartered, guillotine, disembowelment, etc. They need to SUFFER terribly before they due. Imho 🤷‍♀️

Well said. Very well said.

INDEED!!!

He won't be missed. But isn't living in some prison for 40 years or more some kind of slow death? As he himself said, death is a kind of freedom. On the other hand, I'm not shedding any tears for him.

Truly EVIL.

Absolutely

Me too lol

Agree. Irritating style.

I was just telling myself I have to go back and re watch because somewhere in between I got really confused

I thought it was just me confused. I have poor eyesight & missed a lot due to that tiny print. But, it was a great doc!

Same!

Me too. What a POS he was

One person that evaluated his last interview stated it is in his belief that he was intelligent enough to continue with the ruse for years he wasn't aware he killed his daughters. Now that's some next level deception and narcissism right there. I couldn't tell the same lie for well over 15 years and keep telling the same story but this man did.

It’s just sickening how weirdly empathetic his living daughter was towards him. Like what!? He only really existed in hatred, revenge, and self righteous narcissism. That is NOT love or remorse for what he actually did. It’s painful to watch her. It’s all gaslighting and she can’t see through the fog of his disgusting overblown ego.

Exactly! Trying to play it off with grandiose narcissistic comments, he was projecting.

Congratulations Edwn you are part of the elect, those who can see the truth. In this particular case After the drug was administered he opened his eyes Said “am I still alive?” Then moments later he said “Oh here it comes I feel it”

@@Talletc great troll move 👍because you know they are equals.... smh

Amen!! And there was cheering the night they put him down. I was there. The only execution I’ve ever “attended”.

Darn tootin!

So true. Nasty person🐷

@@Mr.O-Town I attended George Floyd funeral.

and she laughed at one point too. she really is shocked her father got the death penalty for killing 5 people. He has a good story brewing there, but its only him that's telling it.

She's just like her daddy

Her elavator doesn’t go all the way to the top

EXACTLY!!!!

She is her dad's daughter... Not once I notice she feel sorry for the victims. I guess she has the same DNA as her father

I was the same but than you have to relize that evil is out there waiting. The more of these demon possesed humans are put to death, the more peace amongst the innocents.

No...he should spend eternity in a cell. Its worse. Death sets you free.

@@GirlJay67 Well that depends on where you're going afterwards lol.

@@brookebenton8192 sorry Brooke seems as though we have different beliefs.

Biggest POS. At least he can't pollute the air any longer

I agree. I could barely watch the screen when he was on it.

Same here, I get obsessed with these monsters and I have no idea why, I shudder when I think of Battaglia.

Agreed

Yes.he is right up there with andrei chikatilo,very scary

The mother shouldn't have let her daughters go with their dad very sad that she did

I think keeping them alive in a cell for the rest of their lives is more of a punishment than the death penalty. Death is too quick.

The death penalty costs more than life in prison. The taxpayer's are paying for both sides of all the appeals. Also, the initial trial costs about 50% more because of all the experts that are needed. However, the bigger reason to abolish the death penalty is that minorities, the poor, and those with mental issues are way more likely to be executed. Also, it isn't always as cut and dry as these 2 cases. Lots of innocent people have been executed and will be executed if we don't stop this barbaric practice. There is a reason most of the rest of the world has stopped executing people.

@@jimmyh6579 It shouldn't matter, but even though minorities make up a small percentage of those that commit crimes that are eligible for the death penalty they make up the majority of those on death row.

@@ldegraaf you are correct. Getting old and dying in prison sounds worse to me

You can’t make her support the death penalty. They might as well get rid of it. What is it stopping? Nothing. How many murders occurred in Texas today?

I noticed that too

I noticed that also and figured it was just nerves

Laughed you mean lol I don't think she is right in her head.

Agreed WTF?
