Is Justice Served By Executing This Man? 

So he murdered someone, got a life sentence (max sentence aside from death), escaped and then killed more people!?! How is that someone who will learn their lesson? Death penalty was the only punishment left in the book! If he was truly sorry, he would accept the punishment with grace

BBC you should make these videos a little bit longer than 3 minuets,and excellent work!

It's amazing how some of the victims family members can forgive. That must take alot of soul searching

Death s not a punishment , it is the escape of a punishment...

1. Murder and attempted murder. 2. Escaped and killed 2 others. 3. Answer to your question.. yes

Let’s be real, Kenneth Williams brutally executed 2 hostages from a robbery, managed to spare his life by getting a life sentence only to escape and murder another 2 people, im against the death penalty in most cases but certain people deserve death if not only to give so many family’s closure and imo Kenneth got what he deserved in a far more humane fashion to what he did to his innocent victims.

If you take a life...Be prepared to give YOUR life ...no excuses or 'do-overs'

Death doesnt solve anything

Death is the right ultimate punishment, don't allow your emotions affect your judgement. If criminals are allowed to commit murder and granting them freedom after they cry in the courtroom, That would be enogh incentive for more serial killers to continue their evil deeds

Same story..no father to guide him as a child..drug abuse in the home..no protection for him as a child!! When are you black men going to wake up and be there for your children? Sad cycle..

That was way too short ;(

For some reason the govern rubs me the wrong way he just sitting up there like the devil on his throne smh

The only problem I have with capital punishment is that often time a person's guilt is never fully established and I do belive that a lot of innocent people are put to death! That makes me sort of skeptical abt this form of justice, however, most people are guilty because of overwhelming evidence. I'm neutral regarding this controversy

Good job to the state of Arkansas for getting rid of demons

If the perpetrator is truly, sincerely sorry for their crime after all these years in prison and the victim's family can see this/don't want the death sentence to happen, why is this being carried out?

Midazolam can also make patients violent when used during an endoscopy or colonoscopy.

Im against death penalty but escaping from prison and going on a killing spree. I would say the gentleman earned his punishment

No

If everybody who was raised in a dysfunctional homestead turned out to be a monster, most of us would be stuck in our homes. It all boils down to choice, and one chooses which road they wanna perdue it has got nothing to do with their upbringing

What an absolute monster.

I can't get over the fact that that governor was smiling the entire time. Like he enjoys this. I'm sorry, I don't care how awful somebody's crimes were or how deserving he may be of the death penalty, it still isn't something you ought to be smiling about.

THIS! This is why I’m in such limbo about the death penalty. They committed an awful crime and get the death penalty. And after years on death row awaiting their death, they completely change. They become a different person. Most of these inmates had a vile upbringing and they don’t know any better when they commit the crime. So they go to prison where they have structure and guidance and they become the person they were meant to be. You see the potential in them and you see that they truly regret what they did. And that’s what makes it so hard and so so sad. Yes, Everyone makes mistakes! And we pay for those mistakes. They committed the ultimate mistake, and so they must pay the ultimate penalty. But damn…. You can’t help but feel bad for the person especially the ones who changed for the better. They are not the same person who committed the crime so long ago, but yet, they are. Ughhhh!!!! This is why I struggle with the death penalty. 🥺🥺

The mayor was smiling I’m so glad I got outta there

...Yes.

"Justice is mine, sayeth the Lord"....

What is the name of the music used in this Documentary, Thank you.

Yes

THIS IS NO JUSTICE 😪

Why is death the best option. Jail is to help the person learn their lesson and return to society

For me death will never be a solution

Why is the lawyer laughing

You bet, one more criminal gone. Adios

This video hurt my heart I felt that guys pain. Death is not justice!

The governor looks like he could care less

This is so hard to talk about, in any country, under all circunstances, i would love more insight in a new (longer, more complete) video.

EYE 4 AN EYE

Death sentence is for those you don't believe can be rehabilitated

I’m sorry to him.

the rest ?

You don't want to die why kill somebody

Just give people life without parole, it's worse than death as you die in prison and it doesn't piss off people

YES!!!

Some people are so cruel, that they should die for their heinous crimes

Yup.

Who cares if he felt pain!!! Dude is a killer, eye for an eye baby!

Like I said before, SO? We all have free will.

I personally don’t believe in death row/execution. I believe justice is served by being sentenced to life in prison. It is inhumane to execute an inmate that may show remorse or would do anything in their power to show that they are truly sorry for what they did. Death doesn’t solve anything, it just creates more problems.

What about the victims

I personally think that death is only justified when 3 conditions are met: 1. When the crime is inhumane, for e.g child molestation, senseless murders (like literally killing for the fun of it), acts of terror. 2. When there is unrefutable evidence (and I mean unrefutable) has been provided. 3. When there is zero remorse shown.

and the answer is ..........YES!

2:40 voluntary/involuntary, know the difference.

This is cruel and unusual

no tears from this corner...get rid of 'em ...A.S.A.P.

IMO I just don’t feel like prison is general is an effective way of punishment or to rehabilitate criminals. In MOST cases it has little to no effect and mainly causes psychological deterioration. I think as a whole the way to punish a human for a crime OR mistake they have made needs to be re-evaluated.

0:01 I am responsible FHOR THIhIs

And by the way the death penalty is not a deterrent

if there was no death penalty then more bad people would kill without care

I think victims families should have a say in this because they’re living a death sentence. I don’t believe in the death penalty but if someone knows it exists in their state and they go ahead and commit a crime like murder, they run the risk of being given the death penalty. I understand that childhood has a major bearing on negative adult behaviour so it should be considered but as human beings, to take the life of another person for any reason other than self defence, I struggle with that. It’s a difficult topic.

That he is already dead and the one in jail is a new guy??? right.... If they let him walk take him home with you.. Make sure your children built a great relationship with him...

No offense to the guy who “gave his life to Christ” when he’s faced with death row. He shouldn’t be scared at all he’s going to heaven!

This is why if I ever have to have a gastroscope (I have trouble with acid reflux and someday they may want to look at my esophagus), I’m going to ask for a sedative other than midazolam to be used (perhaps propofol), because midazolam can also make hospital patients violent during sedation, and the last thing I want to do is involuntarily attack people who are trying to help me.

I have served 27 1/2 years in prison, straight. I'm not big on the death penalty but I don't like when admittedly guilty inmates plead for their lives. I understand their family's pleading for their lives to be spayed, but as the murderer, you don't have that right bcuz you didn't afford it to your victim

Let em go

To foxy lady: death is a punishment that should be administered to who go around killing people and depriving them of the chance of living, using the excuse of coming from a dysfunctional home and family and being abused is no excuse for a person to go on a killing spree, so if the authorities see it fit to execute such a person then I'd say justice is served

I love seeing them beg for mercy😂😂😂😂😂😂

Midazolam has a history of not working? Is he dead? Yes. It worked.

Which homicide/murder will bring closure to the executed's family?

I will never understand how u could do that job. To be a part of ending someone's life, I'd never sleep again!! Or I'd be on some pretty strong medication.

Killing the repentant is as cruel as killing the inocent!!!!

Yes. It IS. Goodbye to one of Kingkong's relatives.:D tee hee.

Thank God I live in Australia. No guns, no death penalty, Medicare, compulsory voting/stable leadership, the metric system... etc. We have it sooo good.

Medazamam is a heavy duty sedative used in many surgeries worldwide daily. It works very well. The only issue is if the needle is inserted correctly , and this is an issue with all meds, The laws in the US STATE THAT A MEDICAL PROFESSIONAL CAN NOT ASSIST IN AN EXECUTION , so , you have no trained medical staff there to insert the needle into the correct point of the veins. If the whiners were the one on that gurney, they would be crying for professionals to insert the needles every time.

Yes it is.

No sin is greater than another Jesus has forgiven him and will receive him with open arms in heaven

We love Christ but we still kill a mofo quick I don’t under stand how

in the other hand, governments have to make some changes. Greenwood's widow is right that Willams is the first victim. It is a chain of violent reactions, but if we could avoid it in the first place.

then it will be no sense for society suddenly forbids penalty bcuz some people who have more mercy.

It's amazing how sadistic humans become when they've been wronged or feel like they've been wrong. Not only do you say somebody needs to be killed, but you also want them to die in the brutal and torturous way possible... You're basically like Islamic extremists but with a different cause and no way to carry out your barbaric acts.

The Governor is smiling whenever he speaks and it is so creepy and innapropriate given the subject matter.. What a creep.

Idk why they’re saying Versed doesn’t work, in my job we only give a max of 2.5mg while I believe these guys are getting upwards of 400mg. I’m certain that it’s going to work

“The families of the victims were finally provided the justice that they were promised” murder is not justice just because the police do it it isn’t murder

So..... What is justice for these monsters?

I agree the drug must make the person go from this world to an other world with no pain if possible. If there is some pain, I don’t think it would be any greater than that he inflicted upon those people he admitted he killed and their relatives. No one likes pain so spare it to everyone whenever you can.

What about the victim dose any one think of that victim trying to stop the killer from murdering them? At lest life in jail

They didn't care about the suffering of their victims so I have no sympathy for them

No rich man on death row....

If you take a life. Your life is taken. Easy as that

I came from aggressive when I say it was bad it was bad child abuse , and I would never think about taking someone else life or even hurting someone unless to protect myself and those I love.... We all want and are in need of Gods forgiveness so I hope he gets it....

Complete joke. The murderers aren't victims

am not for execution but i can imagine the victim pleading for their life and he did not receive any mercy.How i wish karma would work best.

I wonder do the lawyers ever stop and think about, when they're arguing for their client, (who's on the row because they murdered someone), and they're trying to argue against the drugs being used, until then all of these horror stories,and the pain that could damn well feel, but can't say anything because their lungs are paralyzed, and them feeling like they're suffocating, and on fire at the same time, which is true, we have seen that has happened time and time again, however their lawyers, so they know that, we have never saw a case, that has won against this argument, or been commuted because of these drugs, so it's like, as a lawyer, Do You realize by wasting all this time, and telling the stories in front of your client, and then just to lose, that you're actually the one making it worse for them, because you're scaring the living shit out of them, at least if they don't know what to expect, it might go by just a little bit easier for them, because they don't know what does that, just like their victims did not know what to expect, so why it was absolutely horrific for their victims, I'm glad that at least they didn't go to bed knowing that some Maniac is going to break in tonight, rape me, and my daughter, and kill us both, and buy them put in an all of these last-minute appeals, knowing for flipping a well, that nothing is going to become of it, and they do know this because we see this over and over and over and over again, they are only making it worse for their client, when he's there expecting to die at 6, and scared to death because his lawyer has told him already that he's going to suffocate to death, and feel every bit of it, and instead of him getting it over at 6, he has to look up at the clock and see that it is 7 o'clock the 9 all the way to midnight sometimes, and the in May of course is of losing their mind at this point, thinking is there some small chance, that they're going to get us stay that day, just end up being killed at midnight instead of at 6, like seriously, if these lawyers are going to play these games with these people, then they should be filing an appeal for uneffective council, against their selves, because they're idiotic as hell. Smh

In 1987 the same year the killer was created, also the Florida State Seminoles Dynasty was born in the top 5 finish.

Got any better ideas on how to punish people?

I mean I don't wanna sound cold but it is justice. Eye for Eye Tooth for Tooth.

Did he anesthetized all the people before he kill them? Just because he is sorry for what he did that doesn't mean he shouldn't get punished

Last Dec. At Kaiser, I had a major neck surgery. I remember The Anesthesiologist introducing himself and hooking me up to IVs and stuff, I woke up 6 hours later, and it was all done. Sure they had tubes and stuff, running thru my head/neck. Why can't they use that stuff. Great stuff, I tell ya.

They

Keeping them in jail for the rest of there day's murder is murder 2 wrongs don't make it right

It is true. The Ultimate punishment is death. If it were done more swift and often. No more languishing in prison. It would act as a deterrent.

I find it suspicious and absurd that killers claim either sexual or corporal abuse. Attorneys need to come up with a better defense.
