60
00:02:55,120 --> 00:02:59,480
Speaker 4: sparked weeks of protest in Grand Rapids and drew national scrutiny,

61

67
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:31,040

68
00:03:31,080 --> 00:03:35,720

70
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 4: A controversial execution in South Carolina is raising questions about

71
00:03:45,040 --> 00:03:49,440
Speaker 4: how it was carried out. Crime Online Sidney Sumner has details.

72
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,640
Speaker 3: On April eleventh, twenty twenty five, forty two year old

73
00:03:52,720 --> 00:03:56,440
Speaker 3: death row inmate Mikal Maddy was executed by firing squad

74
00:03:56,480 --> 00:04:00,840
Speaker 3: at Broad River Correctional Institution in Columbia, South Carolina. Convicted

75
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:02,840
Speaker 3: of the two thousand and four murder of off duty

76
00:04:02,880 --> 00:04:06,600
Speaker 3: police officer James Myers in Calhoun County. Matty had chosen

77
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 3: the firing squad over lethal injection or electrocution, but a

78
00:04:10,440 --> 00:04:15,040
Speaker 3: report by forensic pathologist doctor Jonathan Arden, retained by Mahdi's attorneys,

79
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:19,239
Speaker 3: suggests the execution may have been botched. Arden's analysis, based

80
00:04:19,279 --> 00:04:22,560
Speaker 3: on a limited autopsy that included only one photograph and

81
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:26,679
Speaker 3: no examination of Maddy's clothing, found just two distinct bullet wounds.

82
00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:29,560
Speaker 3: That raises concerns that one of the three shooters may

83
00:04:29,600 --> 00:04:32,560
Speaker 3: have missed the intended target over Maddy's heart, or that

84
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:36,160
Speaker 3: the target itself was misaligned. According to Arden, the result

85
00:04:36,240 --> 00:04:39,159
Speaker 3: was a prolonged death. He estimates Matty may have remained

86
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 3: conscious for thirty to sixty seconds, up to four times

87
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:46,719
Speaker 3: longer than expected suffering intense pain from collapsed lungs, fractured ribs,

88
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:50,640
Speaker 3: and a shattered sternum. South Carolina Department of Corrections spokesperson

89
00:04:50,760 --> 00:04:53,719
Speaker 3: Christy Shane said all three bullets were believed to have

90
00:04:53,760 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 3: struck Maudy, with two entering at nearly the same point,

91
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,560
Speaker 3: something seen before in training scenarios from the standar fifteen

92
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:01,360
Speaker 3: foot distance.

93
00:05:01,640 --> 00:05:05,080
Speaker 4: Madi's attorneys argue the state failed in its duty to

94
00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:09,280
Speaker 4: carry out the procedure humanely and have submitted Arden's findings

95
00:05:09,320 --> 00:05:12,159
Speaker 4: to the South Carolina Supreme Court for review.
