1
00:00:13,720 --> 00:00:18,600
[man] Every man has his own mindset
and own power to choose his own destiny.
2
00:00:20,280 --> 00:00:23,320
And yes, I did ask for the chair,
and the reason that I asked for the chair
3
00:00:23,400 --> 00:00:25,960
is because it's pretty much
an instant death.
4
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:58,440
Many speculate that the reason
I had asked for the chair
5
00:00:58,520 --> 00:01:00,760
was to prolong my execution.
6
00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:02,000
Uh, and that's false.
7
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,480
l know that I'm guilty.
8
00:01:08,160 --> 00:01:10,000
And what's the point
in having capital punishment
9
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,560
if it's not going to be used
in a proper manner?
10
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:24,400
[man 1]
And I walked up, I fired one shot.
11
00:01:24,480 --> 00:01:26,840
And as I got closer,
I fired one more shot.
12
00:01:28,080 --> 00:01:31,040
[man 2] She was shot through the cheek
and it stopped in her jaw.
13
00:01:32,440 --> 00:01:36,640
[man 3] I drove him around behind a desk
and I stabbed him approximately 25 times.
14
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:42,920
[man 4] I couldn't believe it.
15
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:46,080
I just thought I can't believe
I just killed somebody.
16
00:01:49,360 --> 00:01:52,920
[man 5]
I don't feel bad about it. [laughs]
17
00:01:57,200 --> 00:02:01,040
[man 6] I started stabbing him,
stabbing the guy on the couch.
18
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:58,680
[man] You don't lock human beings
up in a cell. They're not animals.
19
00:02:59,000 --> 00:03:01,120
You just don't do it.
You can't expect that individual
20
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:03,480
to be a human being
after putting them in that cell forever.
21
00:03:03,560 --> 00:03:05,280
It just don't work that way.
22
00:03:05,720 --> 00:03:07,240
It makes a person even worse
23
00:03:07,320 --> 00:03:08,920
than what they were
when they went in there.
24
00:03:14,320 --> 00:03:17,920
[indistinct chattering]
25
00:03:19,480 --> 00:03:23,920
I was born in Pueblo, Colorado,
April 12th, 1973.
26
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:28,800
My father was an alcoholic.
27
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:33,440
He was always out drinking
or out running around with his friends.
28
00:03:34,080 --> 00:03:35,160
Uh...
29
00:03:36,080 --> 00:03:40,760
He was very physically abusive
towards all my stepmothers.
30
00:03:42,880 --> 00:03:46,080
I remember one time very clearly.
31
00:03:46,160 --> 00:03:49,680
Uh, he had beaten Shelly so bad
that she looked like
32
00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:52,800
something that had stepped out
of the ring with Mike Tyson.
33
00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:55,400
Half of her hair was yanked out
of her head,
34
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:59,520
both her eyes were swollen shut,
her nose was busted, her mouth was busted.
35
00:04:00,080 --> 00:04:04,160
Had we have kept any guns in the house
or whatever, which my father never did,
36
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:05,440
I'd have killed my father
37
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:08,000
and I should have done that
a long time ago.
38
00:04:12,480 --> 00:04:17,200
From that point forward,
my run-ins with the law just escalated.
39
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:20,399
I started running away from home,
started stealing checks from my dad,
40
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:23,480
started stealing money from my dad,
trying to get out of that,
41
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:25,720
desperately trying to get out
of that environment
42
00:04:25,800 --> 00:04:29,280
and then finally
when I was, like, 15, 16 years old,
43
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:30,720
I left his house.
44
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:34,240
I said I couldn't take it anymore,
I'm at the age now I can leave your house.
45
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:07,680
[Doty] My grandfather used to tell me
all the time,
46
00:05:07,760 --> 00:05:09,960
"Son, you need to not hold things
in your head
47
00:05:10,040 --> 00:05:12,400
because if you hold things in,
it's going to build up
48
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:14,360
and things are gonna explode
and you're gonna wind up
49
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:15,880
in trouble, serious trouble."
50
00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:17,480
And that's what winded up happening.
51
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:24,200
I started drinking more
52
00:05:24,280 --> 00:05:26,480
and became more agitated
and more aggravated.
53
00:05:27,040 --> 00:05:29,040
Uh, and Harvey Horne was my foreman.
54
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,160
He was also a middleman in crystal meth.
55
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,520
So I'd go over there
and do meth every now and then.
56
00:05:45,440 --> 00:05:47,080
I was over at his house one night.
57
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,040
Now, I went over there with a pistol,
58
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:53,600
but I didn't intend on robbing him
or doing anything to him.
59
00:05:56,480 --> 00:05:58,560
I brought that gun over there
for a trade-out for drugs.
60
00:06:03,360 --> 00:06:05,040
When I showed up over there,
61
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:09,040
we had both been up
for about a week straight on crystal meth.
62
00:06:12,960 --> 00:06:14,280
An argument ensued.
63
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:18,760
When he got up out of his chair,
I knew right then and there
64
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:21,880
that we're either going to have
a hell of a fight on our hands,
65
00:06:22,160 --> 00:06:27,240
or I was going to have to kill him
right away or at least hurt him
66
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,520
and hell if I'm going to shoot him,
why not kill him?
67
00:06:33,400 --> 00:06:36,920
And I was able to push him back off me
and when I pushed him back off me
68
00:06:37,000 --> 00:06:40,240
I pulled the revolver up
and I shot him point blank in the face.
69
00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:44,400
[gunshot]
70
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:55,080
I didn't know whether he was dead or not,
71
00:06:57,280 --> 00:07:00,320
so I said, "Well, I can't just leave a man
half dying in his house"
72
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,920
and I unloaded the gun five times
in his face.
73
00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:05,920
[gunfire]
74
00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,560
Did he deserve to die? Probably not.
75
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:19,880
But he's dead and I can't bring him back.
76
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,280
The state was seeking the death penalty,
77
00:07:30,120 --> 00:07:34,240
but due to I didn't have
any severe prior histories,
78
00:07:34,400 --> 00:07:36,320
they dropped the death penalty
and wound up sentencing me
79
00:07:36,400 --> 00:07:38,720
to life in prison
without possibility of parole.
80
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,880
[rumbling]
81
00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:08,000
I got a high expectation for respect.
82
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:12,400
I give respect,
I want the same thing back,
83
00:08:12,480 --> 00:08:15,040
no matter whether you're an inmate,
no matter whether you're an officer.
84
00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:19,800
It doesn't always go that way,
especially with inmates.
85
00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:24,400
[footsteps approaching]
86
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,120
At the time, I was selling tobacco,
which we're not allowed to have,
87
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:29,720
so it's like a black market.
88
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:30,680
[keys jangling]
89
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:36,240
Xavier Rodriguez.
90
00:08:36,559 --> 00:08:40,919
I initially had thought
he had stolen something from me.
91
00:08:45,000 --> 00:08:50,960
He was young. He had a slick mouth on him.
Uh, he called me "pussy-ass cracker".
92
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:10,160
I told him,
93
00:09:10,240 --> 00:09:12,400
"We're going to put like handcuffs on you,
94
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,120
which was made out of sheets,
and if you can get out of them
95
00:09:15,200 --> 00:09:16,360
I'll give you a pack of rip".
96
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:20,040
You know, and a pack of rip
is like a hundred dollars
97
00:09:20,120 --> 00:09:21,560
in this place back then.
98
00:09:21,640 --> 00:09:23,120
Um, so he agreed to do it.
99
00:09:30,360 --> 00:09:32,560
I walked up behind him
and I put him in a sleeper hold...
100
00:09:35,160 --> 00:09:36,280
to make him pass out.
101
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:45,160
And I know that once you cut the blood
circulation off to the brain,
102
00:09:45,240 --> 00:09:46,880
within minutes they're going to die
103
00:09:46,960 --> 00:09:49,000
because your brain
is without blood oxygen.
104
00:09:55,040 --> 00:09:58,520
About 15 seconds, uh,
he had pissed all over himself.
105
00:09:58,600 --> 00:10:00,000
I could see the urine on the floor.
106
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:14,040
And I stabbed him approximately 25 times
within his abdominal area and upper area.
107
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,320
After he was killed,
you know, I smoked a cigarette,
108
00:10:41,720 --> 00:10:45,480
took a shower afterwards
and went down to the quarter deck
109
00:10:45,560 --> 00:10:48,200
and said "Hey, man,
you got a dead body upstairs."
110
00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:55,560
It was very calculated.
111
00:10:55,640 --> 00:10:58,880
To be in a maximum-security facility
112
00:10:58,960 --> 00:11:03,800
and to be able to accomplish that
was-- was pretty good.
113
00:11:17,560 --> 00:11:19,560
[door rattling, clanks]
114
00:11:24,320 --> 00:11:27,320
[Doty] There's no questionable doubt
about my guilt in this case.
115
00:11:28,440 --> 00:11:31,160
I see no sense in trying
to beat myself up mentally,
116
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:33,440
uh, and sitting back
117
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,840
and fabricating a fantasy
that I'm not guilty, when I know I am.
118
00:12:18,360 --> 00:12:20,840
[car engine revving]
119
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,640
I'm Mary Cole.
I'm Wayne Charles Doty's mom.
120
00:12:43,240 --> 00:12:46,480
This is Randy.
He'd just recently got out of the army.
121
00:12:47,640 --> 00:12:53,160
We dated for a while
and I got pregnant and we had Wayne.
122
00:12:56,720 --> 00:13:01,240
He weighed six pounds,
12 ounces, I believe.
123
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,080
And he was curly hair, blonde, blue eyes.
124
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:14,360
Looked just like his father, right there.
His father's blonde, blue eyes.
125
00:13:18,720 --> 00:13:22,000
He liked his freedom, Randy did.
126
00:13:22,080 --> 00:13:25,560
You know, he used to be
the kind of husband
127
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:27,400
that would go and don't come back.
128
00:13:33,880 --> 00:13:36,200
[dog barking]
129
00:13:39,200 --> 00:13:42,120
[Cole] One day, Randy and I
had got in an argument.
130
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:44,600
And I went to the grocery store.
131
00:13:45,840 --> 00:13:49,520
And when I came back,
Wayne and Randy were gone.
132
00:13:57,240 --> 00:13:58,480
I called the police.
133
00:13:58,560 --> 00:14:03,360
I told them that my son was gone
and the dad him, took the baby.
134
00:14:03,560 --> 00:14:06,960
And they said, "Well, were you separated?"
And I said, "No, we weren't."
135
00:14:07,040 --> 00:14:10,040
And they said, "Well, Randy has his,
you know,
136
00:14:10,120 --> 00:14:13,760
the father has as much right
to the child as you do."
137
00:14:16,120 --> 00:14:19,560
And I just thought
maybe he would show up,
138
00:14:19,640 --> 00:14:21,640
sooner or later and he never did.
139
00:14:22,680 --> 00:14:26,120
Never brought Wayne back,
or didn't let me know anything.
140
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:34,320
Wayne told me that Randy had told him
that I was dead.
141
00:14:38,240 --> 00:14:40,880
[insects, birds chirping]
142
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:11,920
He went into his grandmother's barn
in Michigan and found pictures of myself,
143
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:15,720
which he didn't know who that was,
asked his grandma who that was.
144
00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:19,960
And she told him, "That's your mother."
145
00:15:23,400 --> 00:15:29,200
The next time I seen him,
he was a lot older, 20, 21 years old.
146
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:34,960
Wayne called and wanted to come to Denver
147
00:15:35,040 --> 00:15:38,120
and be with-- meet with his brothers
and his sister.
148
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,760
And we flew him out here.
149
00:15:40,840 --> 00:15:45,600
And he was here approximately
three months, the most.
150
00:15:48,720 --> 00:15:51,880
When he was here,
he probably felt out of place.
151
00:15:51,960 --> 00:15:55,320
Like, do I really belong here?
Or don't I belong here?
152
00:15:59,560 --> 00:16:02,800
He got a job. He bought himself a car.
153
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,480
He used to like to go camping,
so he had friends
154
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:12,080
and they would leave on Friday night
and come back on Sunday.
155
00:16:14,280 --> 00:16:17,240
We came home. No Wayne's car outside,
156
00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:21,960
no nothing, so I thought,
"Well, that kid is out again tonight".
157
00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,480
The next day, nothing.
158
00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:30,120
And his boss that he was working for,
his employer,
159
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:35,200
called and told me that,
"He's gone, he left, he quit.
160
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:40,240
And he's gone back to Florida.
His father needed him there."
161
00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,280
I don't understand why he up
and left the way he did.
162
00:16:48,040 --> 00:16:51,760
Did Randy have that much power
over him or...?
163
00:16:52,040 --> 00:16:54,440
You know,
or did Randy make him feel guilty,
164
00:16:54,520 --> 00:16:56,640
as to he needed to go back there?
165
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:01,320
I didn't hear anything for a while,
166
00:17:01,400 --> 00:17:07,040
and then, Randy called me and said,
"Mary?"
167
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:08,519
And I said. "Yes?"
168
00:17:08,599 --> 00:17:13,159
And I... the voice, you know,
that Floridian accent.
169
00:17:13,240 --> 00:17:15,000
"Mary?" "Yes?"
170
00:17:15,400 --> 00:17:17,440
"This is Randy." "Well, no shit."
171
00:17:18,319 --> 00:17:19,479
"What do you want?"
172
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,560
"Well, Wayne's really done it now."
173
00:17:21,960 --> 00:17:23,160
"What did he do?"
174
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:25,680
"Well, he just shot some guy
in the face five times."
175
00:17:45,360 --> 00:17:47,560
[seagulls calling]
176
00:18:00,600 --> 00:18:01,760
[engine starts]
177
00:18:04,040 --> 00:18:07,920
[man] Wayne Doty killed my father,
murdered him in cold blood.
178
00:18:08,600 --> 00:18:09,760
Shot him in the face.
179
00:18:12,160 --> 00:18:14,840
My father's name
was Harvey Eugene Horne II.
180
00:18:15,800 --> 00:18:17,720
My name's Harvey Eugene Horne III.
181
00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:23,840
We spent many a Sunday morning fishing
out on the water,
182
00:18:23,920 --> 00:18:27,720
spending just father and son time
basically.
183
00:18:30,840 --> 00:18:35,560
We, uh... we had a lot of great days
on the lake fishing.
184
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:40,560
Most of my earliest memories
was going fishing
185
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:44,400
and most of my earliest happy memories
were fishing with my father.
186
00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,400
[insects chirping]
187
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:59,160
Me and my father were very close,
188
00:18:59,240 --> 00:19:01,640
I was an only child, no brothers
and no sisters,
189
00:19:01,720 --> 00:19:03,200
so I got all the attention.
190
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:04,160
[laughs]
191
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,560
All the love and caring and everything
192
00:19:06,640 --> 00:19:08,880
that I guess you could spread
on one person.
193
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:10,840
He gave it to me all.
194
00:19:19,240 --> 00:19:20,800
He had a great sense of humor.
195
00:19:20,880 --> 00:19:23,080
All in fun, not vicious or anything,
196
00:19:23,160 --> 00:19:26,000
but just a great guy,
just a fun guy to be around.
197
00:19:30,520 --> 00:19:32,840
Right before my 21st birthday,
198
00:19:33,000 --> 00:19:36,720
I, uh, was at work
and some officers came to my work.
199
00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:39,880
Then they told me the bad news,
200
00:19:39,960 --> 00:19:42,920
the most horrible news I ever received
in my whole entire life,
201
00:19:43,000 --> 00:19:44,640
that my father had been murdered,
202
00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:46,440
had been shot to death.
203
00:19:55,680 --> 00:20:00,120
Of course, I mourned the loss of him,
and in the meanwhile, I...
204
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,960
I did get myself in trouble
205
00:20:02,040 --> 00:20:06,080
and did a few things I probably
shouldn't have never tried
206
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:08,120
and a few things
I shouldn't never have done.
207
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:17,720
It definitely had an effect on my life,
not having someone proud of you.
208
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:20,840
And... every son wants to make
their father proud of them
209
00:20:20,920 --> 00:20:22,360
in one way, shape or form.
210
00:20:24,240 --> 00:20:27,240
I really wish he was still here
to be able to cast out a pole with me
211
00:20:27,320 --> 00:20:29,440
and enjoy the day, but, uh...
212
00:20:30,800 --> 00:20:32,960
He's not, so every chance I get
213
00:20:33,040 --> 00:20:35,120
I try to get on the water
and do the same thing.
214
00:20:37,800 --> 00:20:38,960
I love you, Dad.
215
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:06,000
[Cole] He said, "Momma, I'm sorry, but...
216
00:21:07,040 --> 00:21:09,920
I, uh, hope I get the death penalty,
217
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,760
I hope you can meet with my wishes."
218
00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,960
And I told him I did,
that he was an adult,
219
00:21:22,040 --> 00:21:25,080
he could do-- make his own choices.
220
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:27,200
But I don't want him to die.
221
00:21:28,800 --> 00:21:33,280
Not until God says, "Okay, Wayne.
It's time for you to come."
222
00:21:33,360 --> 00:21:37,520
But not of his own choice. [sniffles]
223
00:21:49,120 --> 00:21:52,120
[Doty] There is no questionable doubt
about my guilt in this case.
224
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,480
Now, do I have remorse
for the victim himself?
225
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,040
No, I don't.
226
00:21:59,440 --> 00:22:03,600
But I look at the victim's mother,
and if I was the one that was murdered,
227
00:22:04,280 --> 00:22:08,160
I would want finality brought forth
towards my mother
228
00:22:08,240 --> 00:22:09,840
if that was me in that situation.
229
00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:18,840
[Cole] It was good to hear his voice.
230
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:32,160
He says he deserves it, but... [sniffles]
231
00:22:33,120 --> 00:22:35,600
I'm sorry. But he...
232
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:40,840
He's saying he deserves to die
for taking that life.
233
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:42,600
But when he did it,
234
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:48,280
he did it to save himself, his business.
235
00:22:48,720 --> 00:22:51,680
That kid tried to take Wayne's business.
236
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:59,280
It's hard to see how Wayne
was able to do those things.
237
00:23:00,280 --> 00:23:04,200
I try to put-- Sometimes I try
and put myself in his position
238
00:23:05,320 --> 00:23:10,960
and I don't believe that
that child ever seen real love
239
00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:12,320
in his lifetime
240
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:15,080
except when he was tiny, tiny.
241
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:20,440
And I just believe that Wayne
spent so many years in prison
242
00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:22,760
that he doesn't know anything else.
243
00:23:23,600 --> 00:23:26,040
And what he's learned in prison,
244
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,840
living in prison,
is you either take care of yourself
245
00:23:31,560 --> 00:23:35,040
'cause nobody else
is gonna do it for you, but...
246
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:39,120
Is that the way Wayne wants to die,
is somebody kill him?
247
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,760
And then he'd feel better?
Okay, now I can see Jesus?
248
00:23:46,000 --> 00:23:46,840
Nope.
249
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:01,160
[birds chirping]
250
00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:44,240
[Cervone] He argued against
the imposition of the death penalty...
251
00:24:46,760 --> 00:24:50,960
but virtually everything he did
and presented to that jury,
252
00:24:51,120 --> 00:24:55,880
would have in my mind,
moved them towards a conclusion
253
00:24:55,960 --> 00:24:58,000
that death was the appropriate
recommendation.
254
00:25:04,280 --> 00:25:06,880
I've had a great deal
of direct contact with him.
255
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,320
I don't usually get that,
certainly not with murder defendants.
256
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:12,680
He's a very interesting character,
he's a smart man.
257
00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,120
He is also extraordinarily frightening,
258
00:25:19,800 --> 00:25:25,280
in that he will tell you with no emotion
that he has killed before,
259
00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:27,120
that he might kill again,
260
00:25:27,200 --> 00:25:30,080
if he thought circumstances
made it appropriate.
261
00:25:32,840 --> 00:25:37,400
He is motivated by a moral code
262
00:25:37,480 --> 00:25:39,760
that is strong and unique to him
263
00:25:39,840 --> 00:25:44,200
even if it would be totally foreign
and unacceptable to the rest of us.
264
00:25:44,280 --> 00:25:47,400
But it is very much a part of his life.
265
00:26:15,640 --> 00:26:19,760
Prior to a couple of years ago,
it was perfectly permissible
266
00:26:19,840 --> 00:26:24,120
for a jury to recommend
a sentence of death by a majority
267
00:26:24,200 --> 00:26:26,560
and for the judge then
to make a final decision.
268
00:26:28,360 --> 00:26:32,080
At the time of Doty's first trial,
that's what happened,
269
00:26:32,160 --> 00:26:35,720
a verdict of ten to two
recommended death.
270
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,320
The United States Supreme Court
changed the rules
271
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:43,960
on death penalties in the States,
and in Florida in particular,
272
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,560
a couple of years ago
in a case called Hurst.
273
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:51,800
Subsequent to the Hurst decision,
it must be unanimous.
274
00:27:08,440 --> 00:27:11,320
[Cervone] The jury will be told
that they are not concerned
275
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:14,800
with whether or not he is guilty,
that's already been decided.
276
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:18,440
Their sole decision
is what the sentence should be.
277
00:27:22,640 --> 00:27:24,880
Nothing has changed since the 2013 trial
278
00:27:24,960 --> 00:27:28,200
that would make me think
any differently than I did then.
279
00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:33,520
The only sentence that I think
I can ethically and legally seek is death.
280
00:28:28,800 --> 00:28:34,080
I could use any number of words to use
to explain my feelings towards Wayne Doty,
281
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:39,720
but at this point in time, I choose not to
because it doesn't do any good.
282
00:28:39,800 --> 00:28:43,000
Doesn't bring my father back,
doesn't change Wayne's opinion.
283
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:52,160
He wants to make a mockery
of our judicial system and decided that,
284
00:28:52,240 --> 00:28:55,640
you know, that he needs to build a fight
for his right to be able to die.
285
00:28:55,720 --> 00:28:59,720
Well... [scoffs] he didn't want to do that
when he killed my father.
286
00:29:00,120 --> 00:29:01,040
After he killed my father,
287
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:03,680
he did everything he could do
to fight getting put in prison.
288
00:29:13,400 --> 00:29:16,760
Personally,
I think he's a murdering coward.
289
00:29:20,360 --> 00:29:23,800
Wayne Doty's a murdering coward,
that's exactly what he is.
290
00:29:23,880 --> 00:29:28,240
And he's such a coward that
he would rather allow the state of Florida
291
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,680
to take his life
rather than him taking his own life.
292
00:29:31,440 --> 00:29:35,480
He wasn't worried about life or living
until he decided he didn't like prison.
293
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:38,200
That's what he done,
spent some time in prison,
294
00:29:38,280 --> 00:29:41,760
then Wayne changed his mind,
decided that this wasn't so great.
295
00:29:41,960 --> 00:29:46,160
"So, my only way out is to kill myself,
but I'm a coward and I can't kill myself.
296
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:47,920
So I'm going to have somebody else
to kill me."
297
00:29:53,080 --> 00:29:54,480
A lot of people's asked me, you know,
298
00:29:54,560 --> 00:29:56,960
"Would it give you closure
if Wayne died in prison?
299
00:29:57,040 --> 00:29:59,760
Would it give you closure
if he gets the electric chair?
300
00:29:59,960 --> 00:30:04,720
Would it give you closure to know that
the man that killed your father is dead?"
301
00:30:05,960 --> 00:30:07,880
There's no such thing as closure.
302
00:30:07,960 --> 00:30:10,320
I don't know
where people come up with closure
303
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,400
because if you close something,
that means it's never open.
304
00:30:13,480 --> 00:30:17,040
And that means you forgot about it,
and I'll never forget about what...
305
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,280
a murdering coward did to my father.
306
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:27,240
So me and my... thinking
307
00:30:27,320 --> 00:30:31,240
and my way of feeling
is I'd love, absolutely love,
308
00:30:31,320 --> 00:30:35,800
to see Wayne Doty become
the oldest living inmate to be still alive
309
00:30:35,880 --> 00:30:37,600
in Florida State Prison.
310
00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:43,520
To live out his old days, when he's old
and decrepit and he can't hardly walk,
311
00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,560
and he's suffering
and there's no pain medication,
312
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:48,880
and there's no nothing to ease the pain,
313
00:30:48,960 --> 00:30:53,280
no soft bed, no soft, you know, comfort.
314
00:30:53,360 --> 00:30:56,640
I'd love to see Wayne suffer
for the rest of his life in prison,
315
00:30:59,000 --> 00:31:00,800
to die a very old man in prison.
316
00:31:00,880 --> 00:31:03,880
That's the best thing
that could ever happen to Wayne Doty.
317
00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:41,880
[man] Wayne is a good guy.
Wayne is a great-- He's a great person.
318
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:46,960
Very... understanding human being.
He's very intelligent.
319
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:50,040
He's got a good heart.
320
00:31:50,920 --> 00:31:53,080
[stammers] He's got a heart that's gold.
321
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:55,920
A lot of people would love
to have a heart like him.
322
00:31:58,280 --> 00:31:59,760
My dad left me before I was born,
323
00:31:59,840 --> 00:32:02,480
and then he ended up
overdosing off of heroin.
324
00:32:02,680 --> 00:32:04,880
You know,
my mom wasn't really there for me.
325
00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:09,200
The first time I went to prison
was in 2003.
326
00:32:10,360 --> 00:32:13,440
After about me doing,
I'd say, five years in prison,
327
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:18,960
that's when I met Wayne through
a friend of mine that was a good--
328
00:32:19,040 --> 00:32:20,680
He was a good dude and he said that
329
00:32:20,760 --> 00:32:25,200
Wayne was a, um, good person
to talk to on a business level.
330
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:29,400
And once we started doing business
with each other on,
331
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:32,840
with, like, making money with,
like, chewing tobacco or whatever,
332
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,160
we started building a friendship
and it started building into, uh,
333
00:32:36,400 --> 00:32:38,640
I'd say, a relationship
like a father and son.
334
00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:48,640
And that's why I call him Dad,
because he's like a father to me.
335
00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,160
I ain't never had a dad growing up, so...
336
00:32:52,120 --> 00:32:56,400
[stammers] For someone like that--
The advice that he's given me
337
00:32:56,480 --> 00:33:00,360
has been like
what a father would give a son, so...
338
00:33:04,200 --> 00:33:05,320
it means a lot to me.
339
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,560
We write each other, like,
twice a week. He keeps me sane.
340
00:33:22,360 --> 00:33:24,440
He keeps me in line. [chuckles]
341
00:33:27,640 --> 00:33:28,920
Y'all want a letter from Wayne?
342
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:35,560
[sniffs] Here, come on, let's go in here.
343
00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:37,680
These...
344
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:43,360
These are all letters from Wayne
right here.
345
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:50,600
"Monday, January 18th, 2016."
346
00:33:51,160 --> 00:33:52,240
[snorts]
347
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,560
"Hello, son. Where do I begin?
348
00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,480
First and foremost,
know that Dad loves you
349
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:00,400
and my love is unconditional, son.
350
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:03,000
I think about you
more than you probably do me,
351
00:34:03,080 --> 00:34:04,480
but that's fine."
352
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,680
"Do you want to be back in prison?"
[sniffles] Definitely not.
353
00:34:09,760 --> 00:34:11,160
"That's where you are headed, son.
354
00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,199
Do you want to lose your license?
355
00:34:13,280 --> 00:34:16,080
One more DUI
and you'll be a habitual offender.
356
00:34:16,159 --> 00:34:17,799
Prison time, no license.
357
00:34:17,880 --> 00:34:20,400
Forget all that. You damn near died.
358
00:34:20,639 --> 00:34:24,439
I love you and I know damned well
you can do better than that, Brett."
359
00:34:25,679 --> 00:34:29,799
Look at all the letters.
I mean, that's corresponding.
360
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:34,000
Too much to count.
I mean... [stammers] there might be--
361
00:34:34,080 --> 00:34:35,880
I might have a letter
from every day, it seems like.
362
00:34:38,040 --> 00:34:41,640
He's got my back
and I got his back, and that's just--
363
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:43,279
When you got somebody--
364
00:34:43,360 --> 00:34:47,600
It's better to have one solid friend
than 30 fake friends.
365
00:34:47,679 --> 00:34:51,559
And when you can really express
to somebody, you can trust somebody,
366
00:34:51,840 --> 00:34:53,840
and you know they're not
gonna turn on you,
367
00:34:53,920 --> 00:34:56,680
[stammers] it's priceless.
368
00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,440
[Meez] Wayne killed Rodriguez
over the tobacco.
369
00:35:13,160 --> 00:35:17,040
Wayne was given a big bomb of tobacco,
370
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:19,640
okay, to put on the confinement cart
371
00:35:19,720 --> 00:35:20,960
to bring to somebody else.
372
00:35:22,960 --> 00:35:24,720
Rodriguez stole the tobacco.
373
00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,840
That's a lot of money, you know.
Something's got to happen.
374
00:35:30,000 --> 00:35:34,600
Wayne was put in the situation to where
it was either his life or Rodriguez.
375
00:35:36,720 --> 00:35:39,360
It wasn't like he just walked by
and shot him or something for no reason.
376
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:41,640
[stammers] There's was a motive.
377
00:35:41,720 --> 00:35:45,760
There was a reason behind of what he did.
378
00:35:46,240 --> 00:35:49,960
But he was also forced to do it in a way.
379
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:03,960
[thuds]
380
00:36:05,760 --> 00:36:09,240
[Meez] If he would have had a father
and a mother that was supportive of him
381
00:36:09,320 --> 00:36:11,200
and were there for him growing up,
382
00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:13,200
he wouldn't be in the situation
that he is in now.
383
00:36:16,640 --> 00:36:21,040
If they execute him, you know, [stammers]
it would be devastating to me.
384
00:36:22,320 --> 00:36:24,160
Because he's like a father figure to me.
385
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:27,440
You know,
he's always giving me great advice.
386
00:36:28,640 --> 00:36:30,400
I have a different outlook on life now.
387
00:36:30,960 --> 00:36:31,960
Um...
388
00:36:32,960 --> 00:36:36,240
[stammers] He has been a major impact
on my life, definitely.
389
00:36:41,960 --> 00:36:44,360
I said, "If you don't fight this,
390
00:36:44,440 --> 00:36:46,560
you know, you're leaving people behind
that love you."
391
00:36:47,600 --> 00:36:49,040
Love is unconditional.
392
00:36:49,280 --> 00:36:51,360
When you love someone, you love them
no matter what.
393
00:36:51,440 --> 00:36:54,480
No matter what choices they have made,
no matter what they have done.
394
00:36:57,720 --> 00:36:59,720
When you love somebody,
you love somebody, that's what it is.
395
00:37:00,200 --> 00:37:02,360
And I love him, he's like a dad to me.
396
00:37:03,800 --> 00:37:05,560
He's my best friend.
397
00:37:55,160 --> 00:37:57,640
[birds chirping]
398
00:37:57,720 --> 00:37:59,400
[woman] As a standby attorney,
399
00:37:59,480 --> 00:38:03,160
I have to be prepared at any moment
to step into this case.
400
00:38:05,920 --> 00:38:09,400
Wayne, at any time,
he could turn to me and say,
401
00:38:09,480 --> 00:38:12,440
"Hey, Copek, I want you to do this."
402
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:17,920
I think the chances with Wayne are slim,
but I have to be prepared for that.
403
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:23,680
Because, again, at every critical stage,
the judge has to again remind him,
404
00:38:23,760 --> 00:38:27,040
"You have a right to a counsel in this,
do you want to have counsel?"
405
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:33,720
It's definitely fair to say that Wayne,
406
00:38:33,800 --> 00:38:36,680
from the get-go,
as soon as he was sentenced to death,
407
00:38:36,760 --> 00:38:41,600
was like, "All right, what do I need to do
to expedite my death sentence?"
408
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,880
I would say that I know Wayne very well.
409
00:38:47,960 --> 00:38:52,160
Um, Wayne is a hard nut to crack.
410
00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:55,920
But I like to think he's come to trust me,
411
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,560
not just as his lawyer but as a friend.
412
00:39:03,120 --> 00:39:08,080
Wayne is obviously not educated,
but is he smart? Definitely.
413
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:12,680
Definitely, a keen intellect.
Um... and a curiosity.
414
00:39:13,760 --> 00:39:15,440
I mean, there is this notion
415
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:19,960
that these guys that are on Death Row
are monsters and they're horrible,
416
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:24,040
and they, you know, there's no question
about it, they've done horrible things.
417
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:28,960
But that's-- it doesn't define
who they are, they are not just that.
418
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:31,680
I wouldn't want to be defined by my worst,
419
00:39:31,760 --> 00:39:34,120
the worst thing that I ever did
in my life.
420
00:39:43,640 --> 00:39:45,240
[door squeaking]
421
00:39:52,680 --> 00:39:55,240
[Copek] Wayne has already been found
guilty of first-degree murder.
422
00:39:55,320 --> 00:39:59,360
So the hearing that's coming up,
it's strictly just,
423
00:39:59,440 --> 00:40:01,480
is he gonna get life
or is he gonna get death?
424
00:40:14,120 --> 00:40:16,800
Capital trials are nerve-racking.
425
00:40:16,880 --> 00:40:20,320
Really, all trials, once somebody's
liberty is being faced are nerve-racking.
426
00:40:20,400 --> 00:40:24,920
But capital trials, when you're
talking life and death, it's intense.
427
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:33,240
Wayne is an honest, sometimes
brutally honest to a point, person.
428
00:40:39,560 --> 00:40:44,320
And even if what Wayne is doing
is just putting it forth before the jury
429
00:40:44,400 --> 00:40:48,040
and making it,
making it their decision
430
00:40:48,120 --> 00:40:50,080
and he's not gonna advocate
for a certain position,
431
00:40:50,160 --> 00:40:55,120
I still hope to God that he shows
this jury the goodness that's in him.
432
00:40:55,840 --> 00:40:57,720
And, of course,
433
00:40:57,800 --> 00:41:02,440
my hope is that they see
the value in his life and that they...
434
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:05,720
and that they spare his life.
435
00:41:34,880 --> 00:41:36,560
[Harvey III] Wayne Doty's
a murdering coward.
436
00:41:36,720 --> 00:41:38,240
That's exactly what he is.
437
00:41:38,320 --> 00:41:42,680
And he's such a coward that he would
rather allow the state of Florida
438
00:41:42,760 --> 00:41:45,080
to take his life
rather than him taking his own life.
439
00:41:46,880 --> 00:41:50,200
I'd love to see Wayne suffer
for the rest of his life in prison,
440
00:41:52,680 --> 00:41:54,320
to die a very old man in prison.
441
00:41:54,400 --> 00:41:57,400
That's the best thing
that could ever happen to Wayne Doty.
442
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:05,680
I'm sorry he feels that way,
him not knowing me as an individual.
443
00:42:05,760 --> 00:42:10,040
If he feels that I need to spend the rest
of my life in prison, then so be it.
444
00:42:11,240 --> 00:42:13,800
His father wasn't
a crystal-clear individual.
445
00:42:14,000 --> 00:42:17,840
Uh, did he deserve to die? Probably not,
but he's dead and I can't bring him back.
446
00:42:18,280 --> 00:42:21,440
You know, I'm sorry,
I don't have to the power to do that.
447
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:31,840
[Meez] Wayne killed Rodriguez
over the tobacco.
448
00:42:32,640 --> 00:42:35,320
It wasn't like he just walked by
and shot him or something for no reason.
449
00:42:35,400 --> 00:42:37,560
[stammers] There's was a motive.
450
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:41,560
There was a reason behind
of what he did.
451
00:42:42,160 --> 00:42:45,840
But he was also forced to do it in a way.
452
00:42:46,480 --> 00:42:51,040
Wayne was put in a situation to where
it was either his life or Rodriguez.
453
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:55,520
I can't positively say
that Rodriguez was the actual one
454
00:42:55,600 --> 00:42:57,360
that stole that tobacco from me.
455
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,960
I don't know whether he did it or not.
There was no evidence.
456
00:43:04,040 --> 00:43:09,080
And I didn't see him with my own eyes
take anything from me off the cart
457
00:43:09,160 --> 00:43:11,360
that it was supposed to be taken off of.
458
00:43:11,480 --> 00:43:13,880
And after sitting back
and really thinking it over,
459
00:43:13,960 --> 00:43:16,520
who in their right mind
would allow their hands to be tied up
460
00:43:16,600 --> 00:43:19,200
when they've actually wronged somebody
in that direction?
461
00:43:20,640 --> 00:43:24,840
We had words before,
you know, months prior, to where it was--
462
00:43:24,920 --> 00:43:27,160
It started over a simple newspaper.
463
00:43:27,520 --> 00:43:30,920
And he, by way of disrespect,
called me a pussy-ass cracker.
464
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:35,000
And in-- in prison or anywhere,
you know, for somebody to call me that,
465
00:43:35,080 --> 00:43:38,160
that's very disrespectful,
that doesn't sit with me very well.
466
00:43:38,240 --> 00:43:39,680
Why? Because I don't call people that.
467
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:41,960
And I have a high tolerance for respect.
468
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:44,240
If I give respect,
I want respect to be given back
469
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:47,440
no matter who you are
or what position you're in.
470
00:43:47,520 --> 00:43:49,160
You know, I mean,
that's just human nature.
471
00:43:49,240 --> 00:43:53,160
But, hey, he's gone now
and I can't bring him back, man.
472
00:43:56,600 --> 00:43:59,920
[producer] And in your value system,
disrespect on that level,
473
00:44:00,000 --> 00:44:03,040
calling someone a pussy-ass cracker
is grounds for murder?
474
00:44:03,400 --> 00:44:07,640
It can be, because
if others hear somebody call you that,
475
00:44:07,720 --> 00:44:09,680
and they see that you let it get by,
476
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:12,120
then you open yourself up
and you become prey.
477
00:44:12,680 --> 00:44:16,640
It can open up a big door
that I'd just as soon not have opened up.
478
00:44:16,720 --> 00:44:18,840
I'll shut it as quick as it opened up.
479
00:44:21,400 --> 00:44:25,280
I'm 44 years old,
fixing to be 45 years old.
480
00:44:25,360 --> 00:44:27,440
I'm older, I'm not a young jitterbug
481
00:44:27,520 --> 00:44:29,520
like these young jitterbugs
are these days.
482
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,680
I can't stand and go ten to 15 minutes,
you know, with a young jitterbug.
483
00:44:33,760 --> 00:44:35,800
It feels like he wants
to get his hands dirty,
484
00:44:35,880 --> 00:44:38,640
you know, the only way
to put one of them out of their misery
485
00:44:38,720 --> 00:44:40,120
is take them out
of their misery right away.
486
00:44:40,360 --> 00:44:42,440
I know it sounds cold,
but it is what it is, man.
487
00:44:44,280 --> 00:44:47,160
Does anybody ever have to kill anybody?
No, they don't.
488
00:44:47,840 --> 00:44:51,200
You know, he definitely wasn't
a threat to me, you know, uh...
489
00:44:52,040 --> 00:44:55,440
He didn't have to die, no, he didn't.
But he did and I can't bring him back.
490
00:44:58,240 --> 00:45:01,280
At the time, it felt like it was the right
thing to do with that individual.
491
00:45:07,080 --> 00:45:09,600
I'm a violent individual
and that's just the way I am.
492
00:45:12,560 --> 00:45:16,360
[stammers] You know, that's what's
been embedded in me since I was a kid.
493
00:45:18,640 --> 00:45:21,120
You know, and I'm just who I am.
494
00:45:24,400 --> 00:45:27,000
I am guilty
for killing another individual.
495
00:45:27,080 --> 00:45:28,480
I've accepted that responsibility.
496
00:45:28,560 --> 00:45:30,840
I've stepped up to the plate
as a human being and accepted that.
497
00:45:30,920 --> 00:45:33,560
That's a big responsibility,
that's a big chunk to accept.
498
00:45:33,880 --> 00:45:37,040
You know, I put myself in this position
and now I'm wearing it.
499
00:45:40,720 --> 00:45:42,200
If it was up to me, and you know,
500
00:45:42,280 --> 00:45:47,000
[stammers] I'd go straight
from the court house to the death chamber.
501
00:45:47,560 --> 00:45:51,680
I could finish this conversation
talking to you people right now
502
00:45:51,760 --> 00:45:54,680
and walk straight to the execution chamber
and get it over with.
503
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,040
And look the family, the victim's family
in the face and tell them,
504
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,760
"Look, I'm sorry.
I can't bring your loved one back,
505
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:03,120
but if this is going to bring you closure,
then so be it. Let's move on.
506
00:46:04,560 --> 00:46:07,520
You can move on with your life
and I'll be resting in a better place."
507
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:14,520
I've done something wrong
508
00:46:14,680 --> 00:46:18,160
uh, and I've got to pay the consequences
for my actions.
509
00:47:00,560 --> 00:47:01,400
I'm a murderer.
510
00:47:06,560 --> 00:47:08,840
Normally, in this situation
and circumstance,
511
00:47:08,920 --> 00:47:14,280
an attorney would normally stand here
before you and beg for you
512
00:47:16,200 --> 00:47:19,680
to sentence their defendant,
their client, to life in prison.
513
00:47:22,360 --> 00:47:25,200
And I had a long discussion
with my people yesterday.
514
00:47:27,720 --> 00:47:31,760
And it's whatever justice
you seem... necessary,
515
00:47:33,360 --> 00:47:34,320
make sure your decision
516
00:47:35,280 --> 00:47:37,920
is based off the evidence
and not a personal decision...
517
00:47:41,080 --> 00:47:42,120
and based off the law.
518
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:47,200
That's all I have to say. Thank you.
519
00:47:50,960 --> 00:47:55,400
Members of the jury, you will now
please depart to begin deliberating.
520
00:48:09,720 --> 00:48:12,040
Members of the jury,
I understand you have reached a verdict.
521
00:48:13,080 --> 00:48:15,160
Please pass the verdict for me, bailiff.
522
00:48:22,120 --> 00:48:26,240
[clerk] "We, the jury, unanimously
find that defendant Wayne C Doty
523
00:48:26,320 --> 00:48:30,320
should-- should be sentenced
to death, yes."
524
00:48:35,240 --> 00:48:39,200
[Doty] I wanna be remembered as
who I am. You know? Not somebody phony.
525
00:48:40,240 --> 00:48:42,480
Or not somebody that's trying to be
something they're not.
526
00:48:43,320 --> 00:48:45,240
I mean, what's the point
in having capital punishment
527
00:48:45,320 --> 00:48:47,840
if it's not gonna be used
in a proper manner?
528
00:48:50,040 --> 00:48:55,440
I mean, how many lives is it gonna take
or-- or for people to understand
529
00:48:55,520 --> 00:48:58,160
that whatever it is that's going on
inside of my head
530
00:48:58,240 --> 00:49:00,680
has been implanted there
ever since I was a kid?
531
00:49:00,760 --> 00:49:04,040
And this is who I am
and I'm happy to be who I am
532
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:05,840
and I'm gonna always be who I am. Not too many can say that, you know.
533
00:49:08,640 --> 00:49:12,840
They'd rather run for the rest
of their lives and try to avoid reality
