Broussard is with us, as well as mike wise, sports columnist from the washington post. You were there last night, chris. Describe the mood among the players and the fans. The mood was similar among both. With the players, there was a heavy burden lifted off their shoulders as well as the nba commissioner, adam silver made his ruling. The players decided they were going to play but a lot of them had doubts heading into the game. You know, before adams ruling. A lot of them have family members and friends telling them they shouldnt play. A lot of the players told me they looked on instagram and saw themselves being compared to slaves. They had a burden on their shoulders when they play a game four on sunday and before adam silvers announcement. Once he made his declaration that Donald Sterling would be banned for life, that burden was lifted and the players felt that. And the fans felt it, too, because a lot of them were questionable about whether or not they should go to the game, wheth
Minutes later, it started getting particularly ugly. Reporter Graham Lee Brewer of the oklahoman was one of the official witnesses. He began kicking his feet, lifting his head and his chest off the gurney, grimacing, clenching his teeth, and a couple of months, he actually mumbled. At 6 39, a prison official said to witnesses, we are going to lower the blinds temporarily, and they did. It was clear at that point, to officials in attendance, that something was very, very wrong. After conferring with the ward, and unknown how much drugs that went into him, it was my decision at that time to stop the execution. According to an ap reporter in attendance, prison officials said they would try to get lockett to the hospital to resuscitate him. The man they were just moments ago trying to kill, well, they did not succeed in resuscitating him. At 7 06. Clayton lockett was declared dead. He died of a heart attack, 43 minutes after the drug was administered, a gruesome period of what can only be

Clenching his teeth, and a couple of months, he actually mumbled. At 6 39, a prison official said to witnesses, we are going to lower the blinds temporarily, and they did.

The man they were just moments ago trying to kill, well, they did not succeed in resuscitating him. At 7 06. Clayton lockett was declared dead. He died of a heart attack, 43 minutes after the drug was administered, a gruesome period of what can only be described as torture by incompetence.

And then they did it again in 2012, when connecticut abolished the Death Penalty. And then they did it again last year in may when the great state of maryland abolished the Death Penalty. Its kind of amazing, right. What does the city of rome in italy halfway around the world, what do they care if a murderer convicted in baltimore gets life in prison or the Death Penalty . Turns out, they care. They care very, very much. Italy is very, very much against the Death Penalty. And its not like they dont know their own history with it. I mean, theres a reason why they picked the place where they used to throw the christians to the lions as the place from which they would urge the rest of the world to put that kind of history behind them. In april 2010, the food and Drug Administration sent a warning letter to the compan
