and his daughter. what are we using? him blubberingin the limo. his wife was raped and murderedin front of his kid. he has a right. can't we usesomething else? it's good stuff,friend or no friend. ok, we go with it. give methompson's lawyer.

mmm, julie... time togo to school. that a girl. do i have to? what doyou think? come on.out you go. mr. peterson,miss sharon's on tv. thank you. aah! daddy, help!
what? it's freezing. you scared me. tell your husbandthere's no hot water. yes, mr. peterson. here's sharon martin with a look at the growing controversy surrounding ronald thompson's pending execution. thank you, roger.
since before the biblical injuction to trade an eye for an eye, societies have debated the morality and wisdom of capital punishment. should a civilization protect itself by taking the lives of murderers? unless his lawyers get a stay of execution, ronald thompson will be the first person executed here in 28 years.
the facts are simple. two years ago in carley, an exclusive new york community, nina peterson, was raped and killed while her 8-year-old daughter watched. 19-year-old thompson steadfastly maintains that nina peterson's real killer escaped before he arrived,
and peterson's daughter mistook him for the murderer. psychiatric studies of criminals indicate that usually homicide is an act of passion. a murderer won't consider the death penalty at the time. it seems the man who killed peterson's wife wasn't deterred by the threat of losing his life. thompson's lawyer, civil rights advocate... julie, move it! coming!
some more coffee? no, thank you. you ok? hot. sharon's comingtonight for supper. ooh, youdon't like that. on a scaleof 1 to 10? five. she gaveyou an 8.
