The Mass Execution In Arkansas: Stacey Johnson's Case 

He says he is innocent of this murder but then tells his wife and step daughter that as a member of the crips he “took out the trash”. Sounds like there are other murders that he committed but hasn’t been charged for.

I have no respect for these female correctional officers who fall in love with convicted murderers. You chose to let your guard down to someone accused of doing the unimaginable. Why would you even allow that to happen?

Sooo he killed some people just not her? "I took out the trash" TF 🤔🤔

The DNA should be retested and when it comes back positive he should be executed. I used to be against the death penalty but now im for it f the DNA evidence is conclusive.

The corrections officer's daughter is going to grow up with an extraordinary, naive compassion for bad men. Her mother set the example to set the bar low, when you choose a mate. Sad.

Everyone in prison is innocent, just ask them.

Correctional officer married an inmate. 😴 No, sis. No. 🤦🏽‍♀️

As a former correctional employer..you have no idea how Many inmates claim their innocence and get out and come right back.

"Sorry" cant bring people back. Its not right that someone can take the life of another for no reason, and still get to live out their own.

Actually, life in prison is by far more brutal punishment. Knowing your never ever going to get out alive making sure they never forget their horrendous crimes and to be forgotten by the world they victimized.

Death isn’t the ultimate punishment,life in prison is . It’s a long term punishment !

Yep, as always, mummy's little boy would NEVER do such a thing. Why he's a goooood boy! PFT

How quick we forget about the victims n the people this guys kill n makes them. suffer ....

Everyone on death row says their innocent.The evidence against this guy, even without the DNA evidence is overwhelming.

god forbid the poor murderers suffering the consequences of the crimes they commited

Did the victims have any dignity when they were being killed?

I just saw this so I googled it. He's still alive. The 2007 DNA test matched hairs found on the victim to him with a probability of 1 in 20 million. He wants more DNA retesting.

As a healthcare worker who has given all of the drugs involved in an execution in some form or fashion, I can tell you they work. If you have ever experienced surgery, then you have experienced the sensations of those given lethal injection. The only difference is that in OR they support your airway, and they reverse your drugs - you wake up, but the convict does not. Its fallacy that lethal injection is painful.

Well test the DNA and let me know if it came back as his

They say this is inhumane but are forgetting that the way their family member brutally slaughtered other people is inhumane and atrocious ....sorry but some people need to be put down

Did the mom say it's inhumane?? Was it inhumane when your son killed innocent ppl?? It's inhumane when you don't raise your kids right

What kind of lunatic marries some "innocent" guy in jail?

*Commentators need to button their shirts up...* because their hearts are bleeding for the wrong people: Jack Harold Jones was sentenced to death for the 1995 rape and murder of Mary Phillips and the near fatal brutal beating of her 11-year-old daughter Lacey Kenneth D Williams Was already serving a life sentence for a murder when he escaped prison and killed a former warden of the prison in which he was incarcerated. Williams taunted the family of his first victim, Dominique Hurd, in court after he escaped with a life sentence rather than the death penalty Ledell Lee raped and murdered 26-year-old Debra Reese in her own home. She was struck approximately 36 times with a tire iron. Lee was also tied to 3 other Rapes and an additional murder. Bruce Ward: Raped and Murdered 18-Year-Old Becky Doss while she was working as a Gas Station Attendant. Jason McGehee brutally murdered 15-year-old John Melbourne, Jr. after the boy confessed to police that that McGehee had him cash a bad check. Marcel W Williams Convicted of the abduction, robbery and murder of Stacy Errickson from a gas station in 1994 Don William Davis Davis was convicted of the 1990 execution-style murder of Jane Daniels during a robbery and home invasion. Stacey Eugene Johnson Johnson was convicted of the murder of Carol Heath in a 1993 home invasion, during which Heath’s two and six-year-old children were present

Firing squad is less painful More deserving

Those poor innocent children. Watching him slit their mothers throat how damn right disgusting... Now their both adults and will always suffer during their lives having that very upsetting sad picture in their heads of their deceased mother in a pool of her own blood I'm surprised he never killed those two children also... My condolences go to the two adults of the murdered lady. 🌹🌹

Justice.... Doesn't matter how sorry you are. Evil needs to be destroyed. if you are on death row for 23 years, you've been there 22 years to long.

He even admitted he "took out the trash" and that deluded woman still thinks he's innocent?! Ridiculous. Why grant him a stay of execution? Do they think he's innocent? Then why not release him?.. because they know he's guilty. He shouldn't even have been on death row for that long. There should be an allocated time for them to appeal etc then after that time, they shouldn't execute them. Why pay for those people, they have a more secure life than many out of prison. They doubt deserve that. Death sentence should mean exactly that

The very first scene in this video was the murderers family and how upset they were. Why not start it out with the victim's focus, what happened to them. Those people deserve justice for their loss, as does society. Every person is important and does not deserve to be murdered.

death is not the greatest loss in life, the greatest loss in life is what dies inside while still alive. never Surrender.

Prisons for profit? The whole system needs to be ran by the government and not private institutions. Take note from the UK prison system, there’s no point locking up people for life it’s just a waste of tax payers money I’d rather see them rehabilitated into good citizens.

best series.. keep on coming please! Can't wait for season 5.

What a joke of a system have some one on death row for that long get them out of there and move on

Let's remember the victims that suffered a horrific death 💀 by the hands of these cold criminals. When on death row they become so innocent and harmless in their personalities but release them and they will kill again.

When you purposely take a life you should FORFEIT your own.

I'm from the UK. I get sick and tired of hearing about these people's rights. Apart from the "fact" that there are innocent people on death row and this leaves the only reason in which I have any objection against the death penalty, but those individuals who have taken the lives of others, some in the most despicable way and who are guilty should go to their own deaths much quicker than the current US legal system allows. Strap them in one every other day and expire them, make them face the same reality which they made their victims experience . Also it's about time they got to using a firing squad so there is no legal complications concerning these drugs which they are using. These individuals killed people, they took everything from them and they warrent nil sympathy.

You married a death row inmate while being a corrections officer ? Whew girl... where is your self esteem

*4:40** try not to puke!,* *2019, still on death row as he was DENIED by the judge the new DNA testing which he used as a stall tactic.*

It's supposed to kill them. 23 years on death row? Should have happened a LONG time ago.

Death is a release! Leave them locked up in prison where they can actually suffer....

Let me guess: he dindonuffin?

i recommend everyone to watch this series, it’s extraordinarily captivating and unbelievably intriguing. had me on the edge of my seat throughout

the girl you murdered was scared too but you showed no mercy

I worked with Ashley, she’s such an amazing person regardless of everything she’s been through.

So.. are we supposed to feel sorry for these condemned murders when they finally get their sentences carried out?? Make up your mind !

All the innocent people we’ve seen beat the death sentence and we’ve learned nothing at all? Seems in some places money talks more than human life.

At first I felt bad and kinda pissed but reality slapped me and said they’re in there for a reason so now I’m okay

What a sad world we live in

he's a good artist I've never really learnt that able to draw

It’s crazy how they won’t retest the dna when it could 100% prove whether he is guilty or not

"I took out the trash", case closed.

Such a fantastic series. Made me question so much.

Sorry but I still believe in the death penalty if all the evidence is right

He has very excellent unique gift of drawing. Too bad it was wasted. Sad.

How you marry a convict I simply don't know, I guess love is truly blind

You had 23 years to get dna rechecked. Can’t the defense pay to have it done on their own?

Today I met some tourists from DeWitt, Arkansas. Seemed like a great group of people! would love to visit Arkansas one day!

And she was willing to bring this dangerous demon around her daughter, just sad. And what she fails to realize is that if he didn't do this one as he says, how many other ones did he do. You have to pay for the bad you have done. This is is pay day. That lady is crazy, Manson could have convinced her he had nothing to do with all the murders he is behind. Just sick.

The theme music for this series is beautiful.

Sad story I feel sorry for the victim's ❤️

It has been proven the death penalty is not a deterrent to crime. With all of the mistakes that have been made in the judicial system, this type of punishment should not be allowed. Too many have been wrongly executed. I'm not totally opposed to this method, but if there is any question of innocence we are obligated to exhaustively investigate all clues without bias.

Stacey Johnson total monster, he can rot in hell, I wish the victim s family members peace

Many of my friends and family have been murdered and their killers are in prison eating hunny buns and playing cards. Death by torture is justice 2me

Is there a legal way to watch BBC in Canada ??

I heard about this - that the country who was supplying this drug to the US did not know that it was being used for capital punishment methods so they stopped exporting it to the US - So the drug that ran out was withheld for any future murders via the state -

4:00 - So he basically worked for the government as an undercover "cleaner"? I see....

Love at first sight on the row 🥴lol!! The victims children have had to go on with life with all these terrible memories. Just remember that!

This made me cry I feel so sorry for her it hurts and I pray for you and your family

The death penalty is necessary, humans can hurt others badly

Dude literally admitted to killing more people wtf???

0:31 Pupils looking a bit big there buddy wonder how that happens?

I feel that a person can do something so horrendous to warrant a death penalty but I don’t think that a death penalty should exist because life in prison is a lot worse than just ending it early. I also think that no one has the right to take someone else’s life, be it the government or anyone else.

He murdered people. He doesn't deserve a stay. I feel for the victims and the families. He inflicted pain on many people including those still alive.

I dont feel sorry for any of them

He is holding your daughter inappropriately, Be Careful.

When he said he was one of those ppl that took out the trash those are words of a killer

I hate it when anyone dies...but hate it when someone kills someone by murder

Stop showing these goddamn shorts if you're not going to make the full length available to people outside england!!!!! It's so stupid.

How broken must this woman be to fall in love with a monster!

“ A crime that he claims he didn’t commit“ - you’ve got to be kidding me. That’s not worthy of a tagline because that’s every criminal ever. I can’t believe they are executing eight people in 10 days or eight people in general. Here we are in 2020 still executing people like the middle ages.

Anyone know if the music can be accessed anywhere?

How does it work, for some to be put on death row I mean?

I don't feel know remorse for him. He got what he deserve.

Can someone PLEASE tell me the sound track to this? They've used it in all their seasons and I can't find it. I just think the music is beautiful

I like the part where he said he was scared. I'm sure the woman he killed and the kids hiding in the house were scared, too.

I'm very sorry for the inmates family. However, being from the streets is no excuse for committing any crime. If there is DNA in a case test it. If there is a possibility that he is innocent how can you possibly deny the retesting of the dna? I'm not saying that he is innocent, but eye witness testimony is notoriously inaccurate. How can you take a life on a maybe? Test the DNA and put it to bed.

Oh man this is horrible

She was a correctional officer when she met the killer, and that there was a connection with the murderer. She should gave immediately gone to a therapist and asked for reassignment or transfer.

I have always believed that a person can commit a crime that is so awful, so terrible, so despicable, that one should forfeit their life . . . Having said that, I would hate to be in a situation where I would have to decide one's fate on such maters . . . My biggest fear is that police, prosecutors and judges have a axe to grind to prove themselves instead of promoting true justice . . . My worry is that the justice system is NOT 100% accurate, if ONE person is wrongfully executed, the system in its entirety has failed miserably . . . I will say this much, I didn't then nor do I now believe a single word Stacy Jeohnson has ever spoken concerning his "Innocence" I will say it again, I do not believe a single word he says...

I'm from the town he is from. There was huge doubt that he actually did this crime. Another guy was suspected and the majority believe the other guy did it. The other guy died... Dig him up and do a DNA test against the evidence.

Oh please let them suffer they r lucky to get any drugs what to ease the death process like their victims had

Can anyone tell me what the music is that was on the show

Need some of USA rules in the UK.. our life sentence is max 25 year's 🙄 life should be life!!

I watch a program that the drugs didn't work..... The man was unconscious but come back to life. I just think that proper investigation show be done, if a person life is at risk...... As the state could be kill innocent ppl....

When you're a cold, heartless killer but when it's your turn finally have emotion and fear (truly only for yourself).

I was really sympathetic until he literally implied on the phone he was a hitman.

Watch the full episodes of Life on Death Row. The best documentaries i have seen. The musical score on these is exceptional too. Richard Spiller is an amazing composer and this documentary series is top notch. There are 12 of these look on BBC iPlayer

"i felt that he didnt do it" but he just admitted to doing it other times... let him rot if you arent going to take that trash out

The movement that is against death penalty is so extremely disrespectful towards the people who were barbarically murdered and their families. They act in the best interest of killers and rapists and really care about their dignity. They are botched and perhaps dangerous.

I wonder if we can purchase life insurance policies on death row inmates lol...

What's the soundtrack at the start?
