about. Go. Hi, my name is Oli Montgomery and I do not believe in the death penalty
because of religion for one thing. And the other thing is the reason I don't believe
in it is because once you kill them they're not paying any price for what they have done.
I think they need to be kept in there in the prison and kept in there so that they can
pay for whatever they've done from now on.

I'm one-lead-it.
Wait, wait.
Now.
I'm one-lead-it.
Pendington.

Say your name again. I'm one independent and I don't believe in the
powder.

Go.
My name is Salis.
And what was Tom Bout-Ride-A-Gel?
I don't know if it would be right or wrong or what, and cordoned or lowered, it would be
wrong to do it.
And they ought to have another system in a way to punish, you know, if they think they
committed to crime.
And if they sure of the crime, I don't think they ought to do it anyway.
They've been people all day for over 20 years and come find out this DNA came out, they
were innocent.
And it's better all I've never said, cordoned or barbed-on, to be, it seems wrong.

Well, I'm Mrs. K. Bargo, Kathleen Bargo, I'm just a country woman.
And you know, I'm a church-going woman.
I believe in God's holy word, all that He's written.
I stand upon it.
And I just believe that you know the death penalty should be done away with, because I think
if one has suffered or been paid their price for so many years, lingering on and on and
behind bars, and no decisions ever made to what is going to be done.
You know, for them either life or death, I think that they should not prolong these things
and either make the decisions to do, you know, that they can find whatever life they have
in this life, you know, to be free or to go on to spend their life, you know, in the
place, but to give them life instead of death, you know.
So that's my opinion on it.
That's all I'm telling you, but I know God tells us to be, have love and mercy, and without
love and mercy, we can't have anything without it.
And that's all really to me.
That's my own faith and belief in it.

My name is Betty Smith and I think that the deaf community should be abolished.
I think it should be against the law and I don't believe it.

My name is Salis and what we're talking about right ago, I don't know if it would be right
or wrong or what, and according to our Lord, it would be wrong to do it.
They ought to have another system in a way to punish them if they think they committed
to crime.
They've been people on death row 20 years and come find out this DNA came out, they
were seen.
That's better, I'll not say corned dirt Bible to be, it seems wrong.
