:25:01
that's dampened and wet...
:25:03
with this
highly conductive urine.
:25:05
Fortunately, there has
never been an accident.
:25:08
But it's quite possible for
the urine to conduct electricity
and shock a guard.
:25:13
And nobody should have to
place his life in jeopardy...
:25:17
because an execution
is being conducted.
:25:27
This is much the same thing
that goes on
with the gas chambers.
:25:30
With the defective equipment
that exists,
:25:33
every time
there's a gas execution...
:25:36
it's an accident
waiting to happen.
:25:38
There is a major danger
of leakage,
:25:43
and I honestly believe
and I wish...
:25:45
that those remaining few states
that are utilizing gas...
:25:49
would do away
with the gas chamber...
:25:52
and go to lethal injection
or some other procedure...
:25:55
which wouldn't place in danger
the lives of witnesses
and prison officials...
:26:00
who have to be at that execution
to see that the execution
conforms with the law.
:26:08
Being familiar with
all of the four systems
that we use,
:26:11
I would much rather
be electrocuted,
:26:14
providing that you were gonna
electrocute me on the system
that's in Tennessee.
:26:20
I don't want to be
electrocuted in Virginia.
:26:23
I don't want to be
electrocuted in Florida.
:26:26
I don't want to be
electrocuted in Alabama.
:26:29
I don't want to be Mr. Tafero
or have my eyeballs
blown across the room.
:26:34
I'd like the execution procedure
to go smoothly.
:26:42
I have often been asked,
generally by some type
of adverse party,
:26:47
whether I sleep at night,
or how well I sleep at night.
:26:51
My answer
is always the same.
:26:53
I sleep very well at night,
and I sleep with
the comforting thought...
:26:57
of knowing that those persons
that are being executed
with my equipment,
