1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:03,100
There was a woman who 
set her husband on fire killed him

2
00:00:03,100 --> 00:00:06,200
for raping her seven-year-old daughter
She found him, murdered him

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:08,010
And yes she deserves the death penalty

4
00:00:08,010 --> 00:00:09,010
What?!

5
00:00:09,645 --> 00:00:24,745
♪ (intro music) ♪

6
00:00:24,745 --> 00:00:27,595
(Off-screen): 
If you support the death penalty

7
00:00:27,595 --> 00:00:29,790
Please take the light to the left

8
00:00:29,790 --> 00:00:33,570
If you do not support the death penalty
Take the light to the right

9
00:00:42,309 --> 00:00:45,434
First statement step forward if you agree

10
00:00:45,434 --> 00:00:46,600
If you do not agree

11
00:00:46,600 --> 00:00:49,060
If it is not true for you
stay exactly where you are

12
00:00:51,250 --> 00:00:56,939
Having a death penalty 
deters people from committing crimes

13
00:01:09,020 --> 00:01:14,300
(Genesta): I don't know that
any regular human, the average human

14
00:01:14,300 --> 00:01:18,310
which is who we're speaking about
would risk their life

15
00:01:18,320 --> 00:01:22,780
when that survival instinct is
so incredibly ingrained and so strong

16
00:01:22,780 --> 00:01:25,287
(Dillon): That's the foundation
of my entire argument

17
00:01:25,287 --> 00:01:27,645
The reason why
I stay on the left hand side

18
00:01:27,645 --> 00:01:30,600
not because I feel that
Capital punishment should be handed out

19
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:32,600
dished out to everyone
that commits a crime

20
00:01:32,600 --> 00:01:34,680
No, I'm talking about the idea

21
00:01:34,680 --> 00:01:37,830
that it in my opinion
capital punishment is a deterrent

22
00:01:37,840 --> 00:01:42,180
It influences the way people behave
look at Michigan, Michigan abolished

23
00:01:42,480 --> 00:01:44,310
Capital punishment in 1858

24
00:01:44,310 --> 00:01:47,550
Look at the crime rate in Michigan now
(Khalil): Ridiculous

25
00:01:47,950 --> 00:01:50,790
So let me ask you guys 
your child grabs a vase purposely

26
00:01:50,790 --> 00:01:53,120
You see them grab the vase,
smash it on the ground

27
00:01:53,120 --> 00:01:55,930
Look you dead in the eye
Are they deserving of a punishment?

28
00:01:55,930 --> 00:01:56,840
(Khalil, Omar): Yes

29
00:01:56,840 --> 00:02:00,500
(Dillon): Are they aware of their actions?
(Genesta): They're 4 years old!

30
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:01,315
(Dillon): Exactly

31
00:02:01,315 --> 00:02:02,840
They looked you right in the eye

32
00:02:02,840 --> 00:02:05,030
(Khalil): 
So they know what they did was wrong

33
00:02:05,030 --> 00:02:06,460
(Genesta): They're 4 years old

34
00:02:06,460 --> 00:02:09,460
(Omar): They know what they're doing wrong
It's like a challenge

35
00:02:09,460 --> 00:02:12,130
they're gonna continue
to do the same thing over and over

36
00:02:12,130 --> 00:02:13,509
(Genesta): What if I told you

37
00:02:13,509 --> 00:02:16,369
that instead of punishing that child 
you spoke to that child

38
00:02:16,369 --> 00:02:19,129
people though might not have
all the information in the way

39
00:02:19,129 --> 00:02:21,459
that a 4 year old
doesn't have all the information

40
00:02:21,459 --> 00:02:23,109
(Off-screen): Disagreers

41
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:29,600
(Sean): I really don't remember 
any time someone was like

42
00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:33,420
you know, I really want to kill someone
but that death penalty man

43
00:02:33,420 --> 00:02:36,529
No, it just doesn't make sense to me
that that's a deterrent

44
00:02:36,529 --> 00:02:40,549
if anything a human connection to someone
like to themselves or their family

45
00:02:40,549 --> 00:02:43,789
or someone they care about has been
the biggest deterrent in my idea

46
00:02:43,789 --> 00:02:44,639
Of course

47
00:02:46,370 --> 00:02:49,700
(Off-screen): Anyone can be 
rehabilitated back into society

48
00:02:57,140 --> 00:03:00,909
Absolutely, absolutely y'all. 
Here's the thing. Here's the thing

49
00:03:00,909 --> 00:03:04,529
I think this is probably the most
hippie part about my whole thinking is

50
00:03:04,529 --> 00:03:09,119
that unending optimism for people that
I know better than to give up on someone

51
00:03:13,820 --> 00:03:16,590
(Genesta): I agreed
with the first half of the sentence

52
00:03:16,590 --> 00:03:19,990
but not the second in that
I think anybody can be rehabilitated

53
00:03:19,990 --> 00:03:22,510
That doesn't mean that
they're going back into society

54
00:03:22,510 --> 00:03:24,100
There are options for somebody to

55
00:03:24,100 --> 00:03:28,970
live a full complete life
and not be a danger to society

56
00:03:29,090 --> 00:03:32,089
(Omar): You also have to look at it
with child molestation cases

57
00:03:32,089 --> 00:03:35,039
How're you gonna sentence someone
that did some crime like that

58
00:03:35,039 --> 00:03:35,850
That's so heinous

59
00:03:35,850 --> 00:03:38,990
it's happened many times
where they release these people constantly

60
00:03:38,990 --> 00:03:40,800
and they're still doing the same thing


61
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,330
No matter how much
you try to rehabilitate someone

62
00:03:43,330 --> 00:03:46,230
they also have to 
want to be rehabilitated in order for that

63
00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:50,820
(Sean): We're assuming people 
don't want to be rehabilitated

64
00:03:50,820 --> 00:03:51,820
That's my whole point

65
00:03:51,820 --> 00:03:55,010
if you can believe that people don't
want to be rehabilitated though

66
00:03:55,010 --> 00:03:58,490
you have to also believe the possibility
that they could redeem themselves

67
00:03:58,490 --> 00:04:01,200
and do something amazing
after that rehabilitation happens

68
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,949
For those people that are just like

69
00:04:02,949 --> 00:04:05,300
past rehabilitation are they
deserving of death?

70
00:04:05,300 --> 00:04:06,960
Is that what we've come to?

71
00:04:06,960 --> 00:04:11,800
(Khalil): It really depends on again
what the circumstances, what this crime is

72
00:04:12,380 --> 00:04:14,090
(Sean): But that's where we get into


73
00:04:14,090 --> 00:04:15,948
who are we to say
who's deserving or not

74
00:04:15,948 --> 00:04:19,330
We need to actually know their
entire story and who they are as a person

75
00:04:19,330 --> 00:04:21,660
their upbringing
what got them into that situation

76
00:04:21,660 --> 00:04:23,660
their mental stability
all of those things

77
00:04:23,660 --> 00:04:25,559
can be taken more in consideration

78
00:04:25,559 --> 00:04:28,180
But that goes to say
once you read their book

79
00:04:28,180 --> 00:04:31,080
you're gonna be empathetic
and it's clear that they've taken--

80
00:04:31,080 --> 00:04:34,450
You can't have empathy when families
have lost their kids due to those--

81
00:04:34,450 --> 00:04:37,309
(Sean): That's the entire
most important time to have empathy

82
00:04:37,309 --> 00:04:38,049
(Genesta):Yes

83
00:04:38,054 --> 00:04:39,101
That's the whole point

84
00:04:39,101 --> 00:04:41,524
is when a family's going through that
to understand

85
00:04:41,524 --> 00:04:44,984
what the family's going through
on top of what the person went through

86
00:04:46,364 --> 00:04:48,919
(Off-screen):
Everyone deserves a second chance

87
00:04:56,549 --> 00:04:59,760
(Omar): Personally I don't think
everybody deserves a second chance

88
00:04:59,760 --> 00:05:02,370
but I do believe that
there are people who do deserve it

89
00:05:02,370 --> 00:05:03,509
so it just depends again

90
00:05:03,509 --> 00:05:05,459
like I was mentioning earlier depends on

91
00:05:05,459 --> 00:05:08,309
what kind of crime they're committing
if they killed somebody

92
00:05:08,309 --> 00:05:10,589
I don't believe that they
deserve a second chance

93
00:05:10,589 --> 00:05:14,159
but if they did a lesser crime like
they're stealing something from a store

94
00:05:14,159 --> 00:05:16,539
like candy or something like that
or a TV or a bike

95
00:05:16,539 --> 00:05:19,609
I do believe that they
deserve a second chance

96
00:05:19,609 --> 00:05:22,890
(Sean): Here's the thing for me
this is why it gets hypocritical to me

97
00:05:22,890 --> 00:05:26,080
in this kind of discussion
where we all think about the other person

98
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:29,039
of the victim or something like that in
terms of second chances

99
00:05:29,039 --> 00:05:33,719
But the whole biggest idea where we
really confront this idea is if it was us

100
00:05:33,944 --> 00:05:37,700
Would I want a second chance
if I knew I messed up on something

101
00:05:37,700 --> 00:05:40,870
however heinous or big it was
or howsoever small it was

102
00:05:40,870 --> 00:05:44,740
I want that second chance for me
and for at least my family and friends

103
00:05:44,740 --> 00:05:48,009
That's the least I want so
that's why I know it applies to everyone

104
00:05:48,009 --> 00:05:50,720
(Genesta): I think it depends on
what the second chance is

105
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:53,410
that doesn't mean that there is
absolute reentry into society

106
00:05:53,410 --> 00:05:57,220
a second chance often means
giving someone their life

107
00:05:57,220 --> 00:05:59,220
(Austin): Let's just say
a horrendous crime

108
00:05:59,220 --> 00:06:01,460
they had someone raped
then burned someone alive

109
00:06:01,460 --> 00:06:02,559
It's a horrendous crime

110
00:06:02,559 --> 00:06:05,749
To just let them out into society
that's too much of a second chance

111
00:06:05,749 --> 00:06:08,869
but from what within the confines of
prison for such a heinous act

112
00:06:09,139 --> 00:06:11,788
That you do get a little bit more

113
00:06:12,454 --> 00:06:13,454
(Dillon): Only one

114
00:06:15,820 --> 00:06:18,619
Just want to go back to statement
People deserve chances

115
00:06:18,619 --> 00:06:22,519
does every single person deserve
a second chance?

116
00:06:22,519 --> 00:06:24,169
And my opinion no
because maybe

117
00:06:24,169 --> 00:06:26,979
what the crime that they committed
then you're talking about

118
00:06:26,979 --> 00:06:29,549
I would love to have the
chance to have a second chance

119
00:06:29,549 --> 00:06:32,788
There's a difference between
I would love to have it and I deserve it

120
00:06:33,469 --> 00:06:37,670
I think I'm a little confused about
where it is that this line is drawn

121
00:06:37,670 --> 00:06:40,340
because that makes the difference
between a second chance

122
00:06:40,340 --> 00:06:44,529
between life and death
between consideration and no consideration

123
00:06:44,659 --> 00:06:46,529
I think I think it does start with

124
00:06:46,529 --> 00:06:49,579
obviously the crime that you commit
there is a difference between

125
00:06:49,579 --> 00:06:51,579
intentionally and unintentionally

126
00:06:51,774 --> 00:06:54,014
OK so what if I put
a pillow over a woman's face

127
00:06:54,014 --> 00:06:55,204
versus if I chop her up?

128
00:06:55,204 --> 00:06:56,204
(All begin speaking)

129
00:06:58,599 --> 00:07:01,169
So ending someone's life
that is the height of violence

130
00:07:01,169 --> 00:07:02,589
(Dillon): If it was calculated

131
00:07:02,589 --> 00:07:06,199
I don't think you deserve a second chance
in my opinion for a crime like that

132
00:07:06,199 --> 00:07:07,629
No I don't care
I've no remorse

133
00:07:07,629 --> 00:07:09,529
I've no mercy
for anyone who kills anyone

134
00:07:09,529 --> 00:07:11,979
I spoke about this the other day

135
00:07:11,979 --> 00:07:14,079
There was a woman who
set her husband on fire

136
00:07:14,079 --> 00:07:16,179
killed him for raping
her 7 year old daughter

137
00:07:16,179 --> 00:07:17,379
She found him
murdered him

138
00:07:17,379 --> 00:07:19,889
That was not self-defense
It was premeditated

139
00:07:19,889 --> 00:07:21,129
(Dillon): That's revenge

140
00:07:21,129 --> 00:07:23,939
(Khalil): Yes and yes and yes
she deserves the death penalty

141
00:07:24,709 --> 00:07:25,549
What?!

142
00:07:25,549 --> 00:07:28,858
(Khalil):
Listen she can go through the legal--

143
00:07:28,858 --> 00:07:33,429
I don't care how much it hurts
I understand that... but I don't--

144
00:07:33,429 --> 00:07:37,139
you still need to go through
the legal process like everybody else

145
00:07:37,139 --> 00:07:39,429
you don't take it into
your own hands to go and--

146
00:07:39,529 --> 00:07:43,049
(Genesta): So you guys talk about
the death penalty like its global justice

147
00:07:43,049 --> 00:07:45,809
like you're doing something for the world
(Khalil): You are

148
00:07:45,809 --> 00:07:47,239
like you are removing a threat

149
00:07:47,239 --> 00:07:50,189
But that woman was doing
some global justice if I ever heard it

150
00:07:50,189 --> 00:07:52,279
(Khalil):
that was not her right to do though


151
00:07:52,279 --> 00:07:53,369
that's not how it works

152
00:07:53,369 --> 00:07:56,369
(Genesta): You say that
a jury of your peers that we as citizens

153
00:07:56,369 --> 00:07:58,549
we as the constituency
we have that right then

154
00:07:58,549 --> 00:08:01,219
what because we have numbers
because we have some process

155
00:08:02,539 --> 00:08:05,230
A death penalty is
a state sanctioned homicide

156
00:08:05,230 --> 00:08:07,379
it still is a homicide

157
00:08:07,379 --> 00:08:10,589
but it is decided by multiple people
at that point--

158
00:08:10,589 --> 00:08:12,769
(Sean):
Here's the thing I think we need to go

159
00:08:12,769 --> 00:08:16,298
above the legal system in this dialogue
because it was legal to have slaves

160
00:08:16,298 --> 00:08:18,238
(Dillon): Yeah exactly
(All begin to talk)

161
00:08:18,238 --> 00:08:19,888
We'd have to go beyond this and

162
00:08:19,888 --> 00:08:22,508
that's when our ideas transcend
what we're talking about

163
00:08:23,439 --> 00:08:24,559
(Off-screen):
If someone

164
00:08:24,559 --> 00:08:28,789
genuinely apologizes for a crime
their punishment should be reduced

165
00:08:38,769 --> 00:08:41,459
(Sean): Um, duh
(laughter/inaudible)

166
00:08:41,659 --> 00:08:45,430
The thing is like of course
it's the hardest part of this concept

167
00:08:45,430 --> 00:08:47,380
This idea is how do you judge

168
00:08:47,380 --> 00:08:52,410
someone's genuine authenticity
in their apologeticness right?

169
00:08:52,410 --> 00:08:56,340
I specifically remember a case
Stanley Tookie Williams this guy

170
00:08:57,440 --> 00:09:00,200
really convinced me that
he was apologetic for his crime

171
00:09:00,200 --> 00:09:02,840
and the thing was
he believed he didn't commit the crime

172
00:09:02,840 --> 00:09:04,560
He was innocent of the crime

173
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:08,040
but he was still apologetic for
his past crimes that he'd done in his life

174
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,810
and the things that
he did get convicted for

175
00:09:11,170 --> 00:09:13,840
so when I saw that he made
a children's book

176
00:09:13,840 --> 00:09:17,720
about preventing other kids from
actually ending up where he ended up

177
00:09:17,720 --> 00:09:20,960
as a gang member
and leader of the Crips I believe

178
00:09:20,960 --> 00:09:23,910
That was enough for me
where he's actually going out of his way

179
00:09:23,910 --> 00:09:26,480
to prevent future crime from
happening for other people

180
00:09:26,480 --> 00:09:28,679
I'm like, all right
I accept your apology man

181
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:30,259
I accept that big time

182
00:09:34,120 --> 00:09:36,170
(Omar):
There's no way of validating apology

183
00:09:36,170 --> 00:09:36,870
I mean like

184
00:09:36,870 --> 00:09:39,820
how do you know if they're apologizing
they're lying, you know?

185
00:09:39,820 --> 00:09:40,960
That happens a lot
I mean

186
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:43,580
they're people who seem so genuine
and behind their eyes

187
00:09:43,580 --> 00:09:45,910
they're not truthful
(Khalil): Yeah you don't know

188
00:09:45,910 --> 00:09:49,710
Well let's just say gang on gang violence
just say that a gang member

189
00:09:49,710 --> 00:09:54,680
did a hit on a house of
an opposing gang member and their family

190
00:09:54,680 --> 00:09:57,920
and let's say
while shooting he killed three people

191
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:00,350
Just say eventually he did apologize

192
00:10:00,350 --> 00:10:01,230
It doesn't matter

193
00:10:01,230 --> 00:10:05,420
He still killed someone and he should
still serve a life sentence with it

194
00:10:05,420 --> 00:10:09,380
(Sean): What if this person did so much
to redeem themselves or account for that

195
00:10:09,380 --> 00:10:12,100
and actually showed
their genuine apologeticness behind--

196
00:10:12,520 --> 00:10:14,649
(Austin): I do not care
(Sean): You don't care

197
00:10:14,649 --> 00:10:16,449
(Austin): I don't care
(Sean): Gosh, OK


198
00:10:16,449 --> 00:10:18,549
They committed murder
they get life in prison

199
00:10:18,549 --> 00:10:19,309
No death penalty

200
00:10:19,309 --> 00:10:20,010
they get life

201
00:10:20,010 --> 00:10:22,340
(Sean): So if they became
Mother Teresa after this

202
00:10:22,340 --> 00:10:25,010
(Austin): No, nope
They get to see their life behind bars

203
00:10:25,010 --> 00:10:27,300
(Genesta):
I think it's important to consider

204
00:10:27,300 --> 00:10:29,700
the stress that this gentleman is under


205
00:10:29,700 --> 00:10:32,540
he's in a gang lifestyle
in a gang environment

206
00:10:32,540 --> 00:10:36,650
Where he's gonna get his ass beat if
he does not go make this hit

207
00:10:36,650 --> 00:10:38,420
even in military crimes
(Austin): Yep

208
00:10:38,420 --> 00:10:41,550
Like in world war II
all those people that followed orders

209
00:10:41,550 --> 00:10:43,550
Yes, they were guilty of those crimes

210
00:10:43,550 --> 00:10:45,359
(Austin): There are people who opposed

211
00:10:45,359 --> 00:10:48,599
or people who tried to within Hitler's
own group tried to kill Hitler

212
00:10:48,599 --> 00:10:51,199
You still as an individual
chose to do an action

213
00:10:51,199 --> 00:10:53,329
(Genesta):
You can't count on somebody else to

214
00:10:53,329 --> 00:10:56,089
have courage in the capacity that you do
You can't count on

215
00:10:56,089 --> 00:10:58,518
somebody to be as intelligent
or as brave as you are

216
00:10:58,518 --> 00:11:00,038
(Omar): if we just allow someone

217
00:11:00,038 --> 00:11:03,188
to skirt by we're giving a bad example
to everybody else in society

218
00:11:03,188 --> 00:11:05,758
they're gonna think
they can just repeat the same thing

219
00:11:05,758 --> 00:11:07,378
and they're gonna get away with it

220
00:11:07,928 --> 00:11:12,478
(Off-screen): I believe that anyone
can forgive anyone given enough time

221
00:11:16,889 --> 00:11:19,459
(Sean): I just want to sit on this side
can I do that?

222
00:11:21,059 --> 00:11:23,059
(Khalil):
I'll sit right here this time

223
00:11:26,009 --> 00:11:27,918
(Sean): I mean once I read a story about

224
00:11:27,918 --> 00:11:30,349
a mother that forgave
the killer of her child

225
00:11:30,609 --> 00:11:34,269
I'm like okay I believe in it

226
00:11:34,269 --> 00:11:36,300
I believe anything is possible now

227
00:11:36,300 --> 00:11:38,440
(Off-screen):
Imagine your mother for a second

228
00:11:38,440 --> 00:11:39,360
(Sean): oh s***e

229
00:11:40,379 --> 00:11:42,689
(Off-screen):
If someone were to kill your mother

230
00:11:42,689 --> 00:11:45,469
Would you be able to forgive that person

231
00:11:47,670 --> 00:11:49,670
No

232
00:11:50,699 --> 00:11:53,989
(Sean): Eventually
It'd be hard

233
00:11:53,989 --> 00:11:56,789
(Khalil):
The question was eventually with time

234
00:11:56,789 --> 00:11:59,499
I'm gonna say yes with it sure with time

235
00:11:59,499 --> 00:12:01,929
Unless you've really experienced
something like that

236
00:12:01,929 --> 00:12:03,909
You won't know yourself really

237
00:12:03,909 --> 00:12:06,119
You only know what you feel right now

238
00:12:06,119 --> 00:12:08,879
but unless you were in that motion
where it did happen

239
00:12:08,879 --> 00:12:11,939
that mentality
you don't know

240
00:12:11,939 --> 00:12:14,409
(Sean): Way to traumatize people
with that question

241
00:12:14,409 --> 00:12:15,409
(Khalil): Oh for real

242
00:12:15,529 --> 00:12:18,909
(Dillon): Yeah, first of all guys
asking that question about your mother

243
00:12:18,919 --> 00:12:22,259
I applaud you for even giving
the consideration to forgive that person

244
00:12:22,259 --> 00:12:26,029
For myself personally
if something like that did happen my mom

245
00:12:26,029 --> 00:12:30,360
I would find it so hard for myself to
forgive that person who committed that act

246
00:12:30,980 --> 00:12:33,790
knowing that he has destroyed my life

247
00:12:34,259 --> 00:12:36,370
also destroyed our family's lives

248
00:12:36,380 --> 00:12:38,430
(Austin):
I think I would eventually forgive

249
00:12:38,430 --> 00:12:41,520
But I know there's people out there
who would always hold a grudge

250
00:12:41,520 --> 00:12:43,470
I can't justify someone killing my mother

251
00:12:43,470 --> 00:12:45,950
I mean I can't see myself
forgiving someone like that

252
00:12:46,190 --> 00:12:48,000
(Sean): I heard a great concept about

253
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:52,020
immediately forgiving someone and
finding the reasons to forgive them later

254
00:12:52,020 --> 00:12:54,820
That actually helped me
find peace of mind knowing

255
00:12:54,820 --> 00:12:58,650
that that's the guaranteed like
where I should end up anyway, you know

256
00:13:00,930 --> 00:13:03,909
(Off-screen):
So back to this concept of our own mothers

257
00:13:03,909 --> 00:13:07,730
if my mother were to commit murder

258
00:13:07,730 --> 00:13:10,529
I would vouch for her
to receive capital punishment

259
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:26,630
I can't you know
I can't sit here and be a hypocrite

260
00:13:26,850 --> 00:13:29,420
And say that I'm for capital punishment

261
00:13:29,420 --> 00:13:32,110
if my own mother would
commit a crime as so heinous

262
00:13:32,110 --> 00:13:34,030
I would be for even for her

263
00:13:34,030 --> 00:13:36,470
(Khalil): The law applies to everyone

264
00:13:36,470 --> 00:13:38,180
(Omar): Even my own mother

265
00:13:38,180 --> 00:13:41,795
(Khalil): Yeah, if law enforcement
has to abide by the law

266
00:13:41,795 --> 00:13:43,837
if us citizens have to abide by the law

267
00:13:43,837 --> 00:13:45,237
yeah mom should too

268
00:13:49,040 --> 00:13:51,600
(Sean):
This is a very a troubling thing for me

269
00:13:51,600 --> 00:13:54,110
that anybody walked up to these chairs

270
00:13:54,110 --> 00:13:56,210
Because one it's something that

271
00:13:56,210 --> 00:13:59,100
I questioned morally
and emotionally about our society

272
00:13:59,100 --> 00:14:00,510
that we're not already crying

273
00:14:00,510 --> 00:14:04,850
or feeling some kind of feeling about
our own mother being on death row

274
00:14:04,850 --> 00:14:09,610
because now we can easily imagine
if we take it one more step further

275
00:14:09,610 --> 00:14:11,370
that every single person on death row

276
00:14:11,370 --> 00:14:13,749
is somebody's mother
or father or sister or brother

277
00:14:14,020 --> 00:14:15,929
We can't escape that we'll be sad

278
00:14:15,929 --> 00:14:19,599
but at the same time they committed
a crime and they have to pay for it

279
00:14:19,599 --> 00:14:21,169
That's it for you though?

280
00:14:21,169 --> 00:14:23,930
(Austin): Why does it have to be
the death penalty though?

281
00:14:24,060 --> 00:14:27,160
(Omar): Why would I be
for the death penalty in the first place?

282
00:14:27,160 --> 00:14:28,340
on other crimes

283
00:14:28,340 --> 00:14:29,340
sex offenders

284
00:14:29,340 --> 00:14:32,530
What would it be for and what if
they were a sex offender themselves

285
00:14:32,530 --> 00:14:35,520
that doesn't exclude them
because they're my parents

286
00:14:35,870 --> 00:14:39,879
(Off-screen): I am afraid that
there are innocent people on death row

287
00:14:48,390 --> 00:14:50,220
(Dillon): I think we can all agree.

288
00:14:50,220 --> 00:14:51,250
(Genesta): Yep. Yeah.

289
00:14:51,250 --> 00:14:54,760
(Dillon): There have been incidences.
(Genesta): There's been many cases

290
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,210
There could be more too

291
00:14:56,210 --> 00:14:59,260
(Austin): The current count
I believe ever since President Carter

292
00:14:59,260 --> 00:15:02,760
is a hundred people have been
found not guilty due to

293
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:06,420
basically witnesses lying
DNA and other such things

294
00:15:06,420 --> 00:15:10,160
so a hundred people is not a small amount

295
00:15:10,410 --> 00:15:12,220
(Sean): Yeah if one person is innocent

296
00:15:12,220 --> 00:15:14,550
that's enough for me
to not trust the legal system

297
00:15:14,550 --> 00:15:16,840
and on top of that in terms of
corruption, racism

298
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:19,650
all these kinds of things
that affect our whole legal system

299
00:15:19,650 --> 00:15:21,510
I don't know why it's taboo to say that

300
00:15:21,510 --> 00:15:23,800
We need to admit that more
and it's gonna be okay

301
00:15:23,800 --> 00:15:25,560
like let's admit it and move forward

302
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:26,600
