you
Reverend young on beauty today can you
think just think about the men whom you
are going to encounter in an hour from
now less than an hour from now I really
am going there without any expectations
I'm going there to experience what God
has prepared for me for him for all of
those involved and I don't preconceive
anything not today I will let that
happen as it occurs as time gets there
we have a loving caring forgiving
merciful God and in time of joy and in
time of need and time of trial or
tribulation God is always there for us I
want to make that presence to them and
technically when he's led to the gurney
but is your duty then after everything
is completed as far as the preparation
then I walk over and I stand as he has
allowed me to stand I always ask
permission to be able to stand at his
feet and hold his ankle and I moved
toward that position and I placed my
hand on his ankle and then that's what
what I do until death occurs and if
there's no family
interested in taking care of the body
the condemned men would end up right
behind you
yes they end up here at the State
Cemetery and they're buried by the state
no names on the crosses only numbers
why does God allow capital punishment I
don't know the answer
I believe that there's always a purpose
why God allows things to happen God has
created so many things in this world I
play golf sometimes I love to be on the
golf course
because one thing I do I put my phone on
a silent mode I go out there sometimes
by myself with no distractions and I can
see the beautiful grass I can see the
squirrels from time to time running
sometimes the deer running sometimes I
look across the golf course and I see a
cow or a horse and and I and I stop and
I acknowledge life life the things that
God is created please describe an
encounter with a squirrel an encounter
with a squirrel I was driving the golf
court and I was on the guy on the cart
path and I saw two squirrels they were
chasing each other and as I was getting
closer they were running across the cart
path and I put on my brakes and they
stopped in the middle of the cart path
and looked at me and I said how about
this if I wouldn't have stopped I could
have run over one of these squirrels
there life would have ended and they
reminds me
the many people that I had been with and
their last breath of life and due to bad
choices and mistakes are in their life
their life is taken away in the moment
so life is precious whether it's a
squirrel or a human being
so I will sometimes meditate on that
experience make a little noise and the
squirrels will take off and continue
their life but I cannot do that for
someone on the gurney I cannot stop the
process for them
but I wish I could
you're not Wyeth yet shall we have to
wire you first
Maggie Perry now from all of us the
whole team here we would like to offer
our condolences your father passed away
on the 10th
my dad died 13 days ago 13 days in Japan
but you really died you are you are
scheduled to executions only eight days
yes sir
how are you doing you know you know I'm
a Christian so you know I believe that
no paradise awaits one way or the other
so I tell people all the time I'm either
going home or home so I'm either going
home to the world our home to God so I
you know as the days get closer I can
feel the pressure on my shoulders they
call it clinical depression where I just
start having less motivation to do
things less energy you get frustrated at
the system how can they not see you know
my situation is wrong you know I used to
write all the time and have a lot of
energy and I just don't have it anymore
I just feel like I've been beaten down I
have the feeling that destiny in a way
has dealt you a very bad deck of cards
it does not exonerate you and and when I
talk to you it does not necessarily mean
that I have to like you but I respect
you and you're a human being and I think
human beings should not be executed as
simply as that right
lieutenant this looks idyllic and safe
well and you would think that this is a
gated community obviously the houses
that are out here very large houses very
expensive houses and you would think
that this is this is a very quiet area
and you would I guess associate that
with security but this house right here
is actually the house where Sandra
Stotler was murdered this is where
Michael Perry and Jason Burkett parked
out in the street and went in and
murdered her at the time that we found
her she was actually baking cookies and
there was evidence of that there was
there was cookies out there was cookie
dough out so she was in the process of
that when she was killed
but apparently the first plan was not
murder well and that was something that
we were told that initially the the boys
were all when I say boys
Michael Perry Jason Burkett Adam Stotler
and Jeremy Richardson they were
acquaintances through you know some
mutual friends they weren't really
friends themselves but they they were
acquaintances and what we were told was
is that they came here with the
intention of trying to get Adam Stotler
to allow them to stay the night my
telling them they didn't have a place to
stay and they were going to try to get
the keys to the car and steal it that's
what they were after was the red Camaro
that was in the garage upon going to the
door and talking to the mother and she
said that they were out the boys were
out and so they left and that's when
their plan changed that they were just
going to kill her and take the car so
they went back up to the door and the
garage was open and the door going into
the house was open the Michael Perry by
his own admission entered that garage
door and went into the laundry room at
the time that Jason Burkett knocked on
the front door and as their truck was
out here and told him that the truck
wouldn't start and they needed to call
someone to come and assist them so she
let him in the house to use the
telephone and while he was doing that
Michael Perry stepped out of the laundry
room and knocked on the back garage door
which made her come and answer it and he
stepped out from the laundry
from behind her and that's when he shot
her
the actual garage door itself is open
when our deputies arrived on the scene
the master bedroom which is in the back
part of the house behind the garage over
here they went in and they took the top
bedding in the blanket in the top sheet
and that's what they wrapped her in they
brought her out put her in the truck and
they drove her out to crater lake to
disposed of her body and told us it's
happening to seek drugs you know I don't
know that there was ever any direct
evidence as far as you know drugs
relating particularly to this case I
mean honestly it was just you know they
had a car you know this lady owned a car
that they wanted so you know it was
unfortunately people died for a theft
other than it being dark this is pretty
much the way it was that night when we
came out here
you'll see all kinds of debris and trash
here as I said this is a was pretty
commonly used for a dumping ground
they've pulled lots of vehicles out of
Crater Lake we've had actually a few
other bodies that we that we've gotten
out of Crater Lake
this is crater lake here this little
area right here this is where the tire
treads and then in the dirt was actually
here at the time that they first came
down here they actually backed up to
that and tried to slam on their brakes
hoping to eject the body in the water
and that didn't work so again that was
just something that we heard I don't
know that that's actually what happened
but you could tell from there wasn't any
distinct tire wear in the ground you
could just tell that tires have been
spinning there so so it seemed to fit
the story but they ended up getting the
body and and carrying it out here and it
was just dropped in the water
we didn't know when we processed the
scene here and when we process the
thunder stalkers residents we still did
not know that we had any other victims
other than her this is the gated
community of Highland Ranch inside those
gates is the house where Sandra Stotler
was murdered when Michael Perry and
Jason Burkett came back here to get the
Camaro that they were after these gates
were shut and locked so they didn't have
access to it so they waited around and
parked until Adam Stotler and Jeremy
Richardson returned home and that's when
they got them to come out in the woods
with them and and murdered them so that
they could get basically the clicker to
come back and get access and you know
into this gate so they go back to the
house and take the Camaro so only
because they didn't have the code here
and it was closed at night two more
young people had to die yes sir that's
correct
lieutenant Jason Burkett and Mikey Perry
and bragged about what they had done
how clear evidence was that well because
it came from multiple people it wasn't
just one we got reports from several
people from the different hangouts that
they had said that they had killed
people that's how they got the vehicles
it was pretty convincing I mean we
believed it although again we we didn't
have evidence that we had of the bodies
of the time only after Perry confessed
he pointed you to the location of the
two young boys yes sir
as soon as I found out my mother her
body had been found that whole week is
just a blur
I was watching the news it was Monday
morning and I saw helicopters flying
over Ronny's truck stop here well we
live a mile and I had a glimmer of hope
I said Adam got away he's found his way
home because that's things that you'd
get off to come to my house so I told my
husband I said get in the car we're
going down there because they showed the
crime seeing the helicopters there my
brother's car was there on the news so
we went up to Ronnies truck stop and I
saw all that stuff on the car and I'm
like oh that's not out of his car he
doesn't have all this stuff on their
stuff meaning these stickers good and oh
yeah I see yeah I saw that I was like oh
that's not his car
and then I looked at the license plate
the car was riddled with bullets and
they had just chased them down and
caught him at the apartment complex and
I was kind of trailing behind them and
they left to go to the hospital they
told me I was like please tell me
because Adam had been missing now since
Wednesday and it was now Monday and I
said please tell me was Adam with them
they said Adam got shot and they took
him to the hospital now Michael Perry is
still saying he's out of them he got out
of jail he bonded out of jail
Perry just had his ID you believed your
brother was safe only wounded because
you were told Adam was safe in shock but
in hospital and you know I was like
thank God thank God so I started calling
the hospitals trying to figure out which
hospital he was at and I described him
and she's like I finally got a nurse who
would talked to me and she's like that's
not the kid that's here at ma'am
but your head helps I mean substantial
helps if your brother Adam was wounded
but safe alive into all of a sudden my
world was ripped out of him underneath
me everyone was gone
I called lieutenant Davidson and he told
me to come down the police station
and I told him I'm watching you on TV
right now just tell me if that's Adam
and he said I really would like you to
come down to the station and I said just
tell me and he said yeah it's Adam he
said it's Adam and my knees gave out and
I never knew that your knees really went
weak you know but that saying is true
weak in the knees my knees went weak and
I fell to the floor
this is Lindsay lane this is where we
were directed on this road by Michael
Perry in his confession that we would
find two additional bodies of Adam
Stotler and Jeremy Richardson well we
came down this road and that we split up
we went to the end of the road and we
actually walked back this way and
discovered Adams body
they lured him into this area by telling
them that there was a mutual friend of
theirs that had gotten hurt while they
were hunting this house obviously was
not here at the time you can see as this
is coming out how it's coming around so
it's gonna be somewhere about somewhere
in that concrete is gonna be about where
his body was discovered
once we actually process the scene and
we move the body once we move the body
there was a cigarette butt under it
which we collected and there was also
another cigarette butt closeby but the
one that was under his body once we
submitted it to the state lab for DNA it
had Micra Perry's DNA on it
which means the body had pulled and had
fallen on the cigarette after it was
already discarded on the ground the
other body was Jeremy Richardson and
from where we actually found his body it
was so dense with trees we couldn't even
get into it I don't know how he got into
it we couldn't hardly even get into it
without taking machetes and cutting back
some of the brush Jeremy he ran for some
distance while he was being shot at I
don't know if it was because he heard
the gunshots here and got startled or
Jason pointed the shotgun at him and he
realized it before he was actually shot
and he took off running
Charles you lost your brother Jeremy do
you remember the moment when you heard
about it I was in Georgia and I got a
phone call from my hand saying for me to
call home something bad had happened I
tried to call I didn't have no money at
the time my phone wouldn't let me call
long distance so I tried to call collect
my grandpa hung up on me he didn't want
to he didn t want to pay two dollars to
talk to me to tell me my brother was
dead I had to actually give my aunt to
call and find out what was going on and
then she called me back and my first
thought was cuz on the phone she says do
you know Jason Burkett I said yeah she
said well something's happened and your
brother's dead and
well my first thought was you know Jason
was just driving being stupid the way
you normally was and had raked and then
she told me know that Jason shot my
brother over a car I just felt up I felt
up my uncle came and picked me up and uh
we just meant riding her out
did your father he was in prison no
serious well it was the first time he
was in jail for murder in prison for
murder
life sentence well no he he was doing
his 15-year sentence first and then he
was out for about a year and then he
went and got a life sentence and he's
just getting up after that and you flew
in for the funeral yeah I flew in from
the funeral the cop said uh I jump bond
and the cops were there to take me to
jail
over my brother's can I tell him what it
was for I mean would it be okay to tell
him the you know it was a drug
possession so you took the trade time
for your brother if you were arrested at
the funeral cops came in there there's
six cops came in and identified me and
told me they were gonna take me to jail
right then I asked him you know at least
stay for my brother's chainable and the
teardrops to choose what do they see
buffet
I lost my my brother-in-law sister
brother learned of your sister happy to
her she was coming to my house and she
crossed the freeway and she got ran over
of our car tell me about your brother
Jeremy
Jeremy was
he was just a golden chop he was a good
kid I trusted his friends
he would get in trouble just just to to
have that attention but he wouldn't do
nothing serious he would never do
anything too serious he got in trouble
for making people laugh you know talking
during class you know stuff like that he
was a very sociable person everybody
loved him and everybody said that I was
one that was supposed to be dead before
I was 21 and not jamming would you love
to of course
he was lovely he was my best friend he
was my best friend bro he's all I had
you took care of him
a child
it turns out the only thing I did was
hurting I introduced them to the people
to kill them
he tell me all the time is meeting him
against the world I tell my wife the
same thing no it's just me and him
against the world
I believe from the time that we got the
initial call until they were caught it
was within a week it was I believed five
to seven days and you arrived at the
scene where they were apprehended yes
sir
can you describe some a hidden yes sir
it was
there was a truck stop actually the
truck stops not there anymore but it was
a kind of the side parking lot of a
truck stop and there was an abandoned
warehouse and then on the other side of
that an apartment complex so the entire
scene spanned from that parking lot all
the way well into the apartment complex
there was shotgun shells there was
cartridge casings where they had
exchanged fire with the officers that
were there it was wrecked vehicles and I
mean there was just people everywhere
and the police officer was run over yes
for his leg
there was a vehicle wrecked out and all
the glass in the vehicle it shattered
from the gunshots Burkett and period
both sustained gunshot wounds belief
Jason Burkett was shot three times if
I'm not mistaken and I'm not really
certain about Michael Perry but that
they both had wounds from gunshots and
obviously glass cuts and scrapes
so there was a wild hot pursuit and you
were in this wild chase did you actually
open fire at them or what had happened I
don't want to be too indiscreet but I
think what I can tell you I pled guilty
I've got 10 years done on a 15 year
sentence for it let's see
we were sleep we had been drinking the
night before we were sleeping in the car
because we couldn't get to the motel
which was on the other side of a fence I
don't remember this other guy that was
in the car with us I don't know how he
got with us I don't know his name I
don't know anything about him Michael
Perry and me were drinking and somehow
this guy got with us that night
I remember getting woke up and getting
shot in the car I looked around Michael
Perry wasn't next to me with some other
kid next to me but Perry was in the
backseat and Perry tried to get out of
the car
in the back and then he shut the door I
started the truck and I went to flee and
everybody says you shouldn't have ran
you shouldn't have ran I had just been
shot and the only way for me not to get
shot again was to get out of there and I
wasn't thinking clearly I didn't know
about a murder I didn't know about what
they were looking I didn't know the
extent I didn't know they knew who I was
and when I drove off the officer was
right in front of me I drove to the
right and he shot me through the door
right here in my arm
how badly were you wounded I was shot
right here
can you show it tie in for me I was shot
right here in my wrist I was shot right
here in my hand
my finger I was shot right here I was
shot right here and I was shot right
here
right here I had a piece of the car door
in my side Stan launched in your sight
so how do you get through a metal
detector well it came out afterwards it
came out they come out of
right here in my collarbone I had a
piece of the glass or the car door went
inside I crashed into a building because
I couldn't steer my Bloods all in the
truck they said well your DNA is on the
gun my DNA is on everything in there
I was shot my DNA was on Michael Perry
DNA was on every seat in there from
being shot blood went everywhere
whenever I crashed I jumped out and ran
I ran I ran in the building there was
cops shooting at the building where we
were crashed into they were shooting
from every direction the window in the
back of the buildings like this you
can't get through it I shot one time
with the gun through the window I
probably shouldn't have done that but I
was trapped and I was panic and I didn't
know what to do and when we got through
there we ran to some apartments
you know I carry Perry Hathaway but I
mean we got to the apartment you dealt
with it like real tough men
I remember reading somewhere that
Michael Perry shouted this is it put the
balls at the walls or something let's
both let's fight back
so I remember something I don't recall
him saying it he could have said it too
much commotion too many bullets flying I
didn't really understand what was
happening all I knew is where we were at
we could not stay there yeah and he was
screaming balls to the walls
they say well how can I say I don't want
to go into the details of of what
happened but faculty said three people
were killed
mm-hmm and you deny that you were even
close to the scene or how do you there's
no longer a question there's no longer a
question of my innocence that's question
is out the door the question is what is
anyone gonna do about it now I mean a
perfect example is you're here with
these guys they show up at your hotel
room in a car you're gonna assume that
that car is you know these are your
friends so when Jason shows up to pick
me up in a car I'm gonna assume it's
okay you get it you get arrested you
come to find out he just murdered
someone from that car you're gonna end
up on Texas death row you're gonna end
up right here because you trusted one of
these guys to show up and pick you open
up in a real car it wasn't just stolen
but trusting in trays and was a bad
choice anyway let's let's face it he was
well you know some sort of a bad epilim
so so were you I was homeless starving
so and using drugs and stealing yummy
drugs he offered me a place to stay he
offered me food so I chose I chose that
which I shouldn't have I regret it every
every minute now cherish every minute uh
cherish every minute make the most of it
because uh you know they can they can
they can do you like me being the wrong
situation at the wrong time there's no
telling where you end up you might want
to get out of Texas as soon as possible
uh they might arrest you any any second
huh
I went over to my buddy's house there
was a guy that anyone to fight me and uh
he run upon me as I got out of the truck
and uh I just kind of blew him off you
know me just go man go much business and
everybody said he even saying he was
gonna stab me when I got out of the
truck you know it kind of pissed me off
so I went back found two dude and uh run
upon him and I was taking off my shirt
and I threw him up threw my shirt up
like that you know and throw it up over
my elbow I was gonna take it off and
when I did that he hit me right here
with a screwdriver and screw drive about
that long and it was the Philips you
know a little skinny long screwdrivers
and uh something to the handle and after
that uh all the way to pay him I'll
weigh the handles minutes probably prior
right in there I went straight straight
through under my arm into my chest you
know I know went to the hospital or
anything what did you feel you felt yeah
just uh I felt up though you know the
pressure of it when they hit that's all
I felt I kind of jumped back out the way
you know I looked and my buddy threw me
a knife and I looked down at the knife
on the ground I was like you know I'm
thinking to myself my head you know I'm
going to my kids today you know so I
didn't even pick it up and then my other
buddy come out running out of the yard
and I had to be at work in 30 minutes
matter of fact of our roof I was roofing
the house with Jason's brother uh what
is it Chris perk it when I was roofing
the house with a little Christmas not in

me and my friend big Justin was up at
the bar one time and he come up to these
new cars hillman Perry you know we're
like man we're juggling these new cars
that it's like all we was holding hands
him when Perry was hold hands and
scratched off a lottery ticket together
and a one-nil took ours

loaded CDs K boards and stuff like that
in there you know so we knew something
or something was up with it and he
started giving people joy rise up at the
bar
Jason and Michael came up to the bar to
show off two new vehicles that they had
purchased and at first we nobody really
understood they explained that they had
purchased a lottery ticket and that's
how they got the money to buy the cars
and at that time it started getting a
little weird
what didn't sound right about this the
amount of the lottery ticket was four
thousand dollars they said they cashed
it in the gas station that doesn't
usually happen the vehicles themselves
didn't look like they just came off a
car lot
you drove these cars I rode in them I
didn't drive them
yeah they Jason and Michael were kind of
given everybody test drives and I rode
in both vehicles the the red Camaro when
I wrote in it they were showing off guns
there was a 12-gauge shotgun and I don't
remember the other one but I did see
them in the trunk of the red Camaro that
night from what I heard rumors you know
they were initially planning on stealing
a car of my roommate at the house I was
staying at and that scared the hell out
of me
cuz that could have been me you know if
he would have decided to come and get
the car in my driveway where would I be
I've managed to block it I've managed to
try to not deal with it and not think
about it I guess being in the situations
that I've been in just from being
employed at that bar I have seen so many
awful things that I don't deal with them
I just kind of put them back Jason break
about crimes he never bragged to me and
my buddy big Justin we didn't know it
happened you know there was they come
got us from Justin's house to police
tear and it took us up there and it was
like y'all read the paper and I told him
look I couldn't read and then they
didn't believe me and they looked at my
record found out I can't read and then
so they read the paper to me and told me
what he had done
do you read now dire so late you started
to learn how to read ya learn Arief
wonderful yes I think this is great
achievement yeah it's awesome
yeah I'm much more connected now yeah
how does it feel not to be able to read
you have to be much smarter than the
others to understand the world anyway
yeah it's kind of tough out there when
you can't read but I mean cuz I know is
there some way I can read it for you but
uh I mean I learned how to read in jail
so I can write letters and read the
letters other than and I'm planning on
rolled back from where I learned I read
there and you have to encode now oh yeah
staying busy at the paint body shop
reading oh yeah writing not much writing
a lot of sanding I'm interested in your
relationship with Michael Perry how did
you two beat out assisting happening and
mm I had a girlfriend
mm she had a friend named Miranda I
ended up going to jail and Miranda I
seen her on the side of the road arguing
with Michael Perry and I said I pulled
over and I said what's going on and she
said he's living in my trunk and I can't
get him you know he can't live there no
more my dad's seen him my dad got in a
fight with him this morning he can't
live there so he was living in the trunk
of a car
and I said well I don't know what to
tell you if she asked me can he live
with you and at that moment I sort of
know he can't live with me and then I
looked at him and she's like sad crying
and she said please let him live with
you just for a month this was when we
were living in the camper trailer and I
told him you can live with this
get your stuff put it in my truck and
come home and from that day on I fed him
gave him money took care of him he was
like a like a little brother kid brother
that was pushed on him and when they
he's older than me by a few months but I
had to take care of him cuz he had
nothing he had nobody little did I know
he had very supportive family his mom
and dad were both supportive he just
didn't want to follow rules he was just
like me and didn't want to follow rules
and that's why he ended up living with
me because they said work and you can
live with us he didn't want to work and
us sent on the outward bound to trip
well you know I'm a city boy at heart
you know I'm saying I'm really not into
the nature and bugs and in the weather
and you know so you know when East they
sent me on a two-week canoe trip which
sounds wonderful for me but yeah you
know you know I like to canoe but what
was it wasn't the canoeing it was bad it
was it is an Everglades I mean we're
seeing alligators everywhere now my
question is and I didn't realize that
until I got here what happened if I
would have fell out and got eaten by an
alligator who would have been
responsible you know did my parents sign
some type of waiver because there's
alligators everywhere well a young man
of 13 you better watch out and eat and
handle the alligators you didn't we
would canoe until like nighttime and
pull in I guess they had certain
designations marked and sometimes we'd
pull in like at midnight there's bugs
you can reach out and grab a handful of
bugs and then they want us to cook
dinner and you know I'm like man I can't
and one of the things that the program
was to teach you immediate they you know
every action there's a there's a
reaction so immediate consequences to
your decisions and one of the things I
learned is that if I don't pay attention
to the lessons we had these bags for our
property and met a coelom right or there
wouldn't be waterproof well I didn't
listen and they fell in the water and
all my stuff got wet so I didn't have my
own team and toilet paper anymore and I
didn't like that so basically I was my
typical stubborn self and I told me you
know what I ain't doing this no more
take me home but he we're not attacked
by Ellie K yeah we were attacked by
monkeys No
absolutely monkeys were jumping from one
side to the trees on the other side we
were at and come trying to come over
there and they couldn't figure out where
the monkeys came from but there was a
whole bunch of them a whole bunch I want
to get out and get one but they said
they have diseases right
so best-case scenario if you are granted
parole in 2041 how old would you be then
does this ever occur to you do you want
to think about it be 59 60
I was 19 I have to do 40 years from 1950
when it came to the face after your
trial was over for punishment face your
father showed up in court can you
describe the scene I knew he was coming
and I knew what he was going to testify
to but to hear him justify it's like I
was born with neuroblastoma I had 18
surgeries about the time I was five and
I I don't know a lot about it because
it's something that I try to shy away
from I knew he was gonna testify to my
raising and I was a in pain all the time
and he watched me cried sleep and it was
difficult because I've seen him cry I
mean if you ever see my dad six foot six
six foot seven 300 pounds big old guy
they brought him in from from prison
came in from still incarcerated
he's right across the street on the
others unit mr. Burkett how are you
doing just fine how fine you are in here
for how many years 40 40 years eight
felony counts is that correct
yes that's pretty serious yes and you
spent some time before this for the
sentence in jail is that correct yes sir
yeah I've been in prison five times how
many years already two years there's a
five-year sentence a 30-year sentence
and in this 40 that's a lot yes sir
what went wrong drugs and alcohol can
you explain well
I started using drugs when I was about
13 drinking and drugging and Salomon
manufacturing some stealing and
burglarizing going along with it to
support the habit and always end up back
in prison
that's one insignificant moment when
chasing your son was found guilty for
capital murder
triple homicide during the sentencing
phase you appeared in court can you
describe what you said to the jury well
let explain to him what prison life was
about and explain explain to him that I
didn't think killing him was going to
bring back those people or really suck
you know do anything to correct what
happened and I asked the jury to you
know please you know don't kill my son
just please don't kill my son they never
had a chance he didn't have a father I
told him that you know he did I was
never there and his mother was a you
know single mother with four children
and and she had handicaps she's on
disability most of that time she was
living on disability and so they they
really didn't they lived off food stamps
and you know HUD housing and that type
of thing and he really he really had a
real poor life growing up I just asked
him not to kill my son it wasn't his
fault
I wished I could I wish that I could
take the time his time I wish I could
cause I feel like it's my fault
I really do I feel like it's
I'm as much as fault as he is because if
I'd have been there it quite possibly
maybe not but but it might possibly been
different he had a better chance you
know he'd had a whole lot better chance
if I'd have been there helping his
mother raised him but I wasn't the jury
got up to leave and the door was right
here to my right and as the door closed
behind them I heard two ladies break
down I'm I'm real emotional and I'm
crying through the whole thing but as
they went through that door in the door
closed I heard two ladies break down
crying they broke down and then when it
was all over and his lawyer come talk to
me he said I remember that his words he
said you got him you're safe too you go
I said what do you mean he said you got
that's where that's what safe there was
two votes it was ten to two and there
was two votes that voted not to kill him
and I think those were the two ladies
right there and they're the ones that
saved his life but you can be proud of
this moment
that's some help too god help me he did
I asked God to help me and I think he
did
I didn't deserve any help for him he may
not deserve the help but we got it from
someplace
the hardest part was to look at a friend
to look at me and I seen that he was
sincere that he really was sorry for no
what he had done throughout my childhood
and he had been in prison I don't blame
him for it but I've seen right there
that he understood that it did affect us
and I cried that one day that was it the
whole child even after conviction the
only thing that hurt me was my dad
whenever I went back and testified his
brother went back and testified to his
brother was in prison Chris and and and
we mean Chris what came back to the
Diagnostics together and then and I'm
embarrassed but all three it was we had
Thanksgiving together correct me and
Chris and Jason over at the Diagnostics
unit you know you know they they think
that's kind of cool but I as a father I
thought that was pretty embarrassing to
be sitting there in prison with my son's
older if they mean cos they're a did yes
sir
did me and Jason went on over to the
next place together handcuffed together
in the bus and that's something that
I've never in my life would ever dreamed
dreamed of that would have happened that
that same little baby that was you you
have to hold him down and take bone
marrow test out of the same little six
pound baby described feeling to me when
you're handcuffed together with your own
son in the same bus scene can you
describe that no not really
try to describe us
well I don't know I just felt like a
total failure
total failure there's a father and you
could feel his head cooked in this head
and his right hand and we were sitting
there and you know I was just it was
just total failure that's what I felt
like I felt like crap you know and I
used a different word to the jury and
that's me and that's what I meant you
know he had trash for a father and and
then here I was sitting with with my
baby son on a prison bus and I mean I
don't think it I don't think it gets
much lower than that you know you just
don't
knowing me or him neither one will ever
you know get out again I just got a
3-year set off again about a week ago so
when they're near him I'll never get out
again and to me he ever kept out again I
don't think so
he comes up for parole the first time in
in 1942 the first 40 years after his
conviction yes sir 1941 I'm sorry yes
20:41 your century back I'm sorry
well doesn't matter it's time myself
time is probably different for you in
here yes
this is actually the vehicle that was in
Sandra Stotler garage this was the
vehicle that Michael Perry and Jason
Burkett was was after three people died
for this car a car that was in their
possession for less than 72 hours I
believe within a couple of years I mean
this vehicle was just trashed the inside
of it because there was actually a tree
that it rooted and had come up through
the center of it and it tore the
floorboard up and whenever we actually
had to move it the over to this lot it
was a little bit difficult because of
that a tree grew inside the tree grew up
from the bottom up into Sun and up into
the car
why did they die I asked myself that
question every day I mean for a vehicle
you know I I don't know I don't know
people die everyday over giving people a
dirty look or you know $2.00 people
brought each other and I don't know I
don't know why they died the greed of
these two boys I don't know I don't I
don't have an answer can you speak about
a family of victims nobody seems to
address that side and I don't how do you
live with all this I didn't for a while
I'm starting to live again but basically
I just shut down Montgomery County has a
victims assistance program but when you
when your whole family is ripped from
you you you know you're kind of like
what's the point what's the point of
living anymore I don't have a family to
share it with and I know I have to live
it for my children to raise my children
I don't want them to have a miserable
life or have a depressed mother all the
time but for about four years I didn't
go anywhere stay in the house take the
phone out of the home I don't like to
talk to people I've I figured if I don't
get close to anybody I don't know you
know I won't get hurt again I don't know
I just I just shut down really my
grandmother shut down our lives are
empty very empty very empty
that's Adam that was his fix yes he was
16 there was a last school picture
my mother my brother was my best friend
he was he was only 16 um
it is true that he is not my real
brother my sister whoops got pretty when
she was 16 and my parents adopted him
and they were actually out of town the
day he was born so I was the first one
to hold him and I just I had this
feeling his whole life that something
was gonna happen to him and I remember
calling my mother and saying you know
what's Adam doing where's Adam you need
to make sure y'all just moved up to Ohio
and make sure you're watching them and
my mom was like I've raised five
children I can take care of them and
when you get 16 I knew he was he was
good he was safe he was a man he'd be
able to take care of himself now he was
such a great kid
he was in love for the first time in his
life and one thing that sticks out for
me
my mom always protected me one thing
that I remember I was supposed to get
married well I did get married September
16th 1995 but my dad Mel he was a
preacher and he was supposed to marry me
and Kenneth he died six months before
the wedding he was hit by a train and my
older brother and aunt a family dog and
uh so we got I refused to get married in
a church so we got married on the boat
in Lake Conroe right as I was walking
out that I want to walking out the door
to go down the aisle my mother pinned my
dad's wedding ring inside my dress right
over my heart and she said I didn't want
your dad to miss this and you know that
just you loved her yes I know she was
saying so much pain that day but she hid
it because I was so happy she had her
pain for me you know she's she's made it
through the day
our family's just so incomplete so
incomplete you know sometimes my kids
will ask me things oh I wonder what my
mom you know there's things at all times
of day and night I want to call an ass
Kirk it took me forever to realize she
was really gone because I would want to
pick up the phone and call her and is
this why you got rid of her film yes I I
did not want another phone call telling
me it's somebody else am I feeling it
I can't even list phone calls anymore I
couldn't handle him anymore so I just
cut myself off from the world I can't I
can't have a phone I just don't like you
know firing anymore cuz all I never
brought me it was bad news the worst the
works is that yeah you had to face it
yeah
well you know it's just I mean not only
did I lose my mother and my father and
my brother to tragic circumstances I
mean my grandfather had a stroke my
uncle hung himself my other uncle had a
heroin overdose my step-brother shot
himself because he had pancreatic cancer
my real father died in his sleep all
this was in six years a six year period
I lost everyone in my family everybody
mr. Burkett if you'll close the eyes and
you think about a different life and it
could start all over how would you raise
the children well
it's hard to answer something that
you've never done and you know
embarrassing embarrassing to say that
but but I know when I was like I would
like to them have did what I had a
scholarship to the University of Texas
in 1973 in football and I quit school in
my senior year quit football and quit
school and lost then and and I wish I
could go back to right there yes go back
to right there and no you have the
children then I had the children and I
and I would have a hook I would have
done everything in my power to to help
them finish school like I did and I
always tell them don't be like me well I
wish I wish I would have been something
they could have been and I wish they
could have finished school I wish we
could have played baseball like I did
when I was little little in Little
League I wish that we could have played
baseball
two of them did for like one time I wish
we could have played baseball and I
wished I could've went to their football
games and I raised a steer in in school
for FFA I wish they could have did that
we lived in the country that's what I
wish we could go back all of us and go
to school school events I got to watch
one of my son's play the horn one time
in school and that's the stuff that I
remember that's the good stuff and this
all wouldn't have happened
you
I want to say this on the record I'm not
saying that my husband was a Boy Scout
I'm not saying that Jason Burkett did
absolutely had no knowledge and was like
selling cookies or raising money for
camp when that happened I'm saying that
Jason did not kill one two or three
people
Sandra Jeremy and Adam were not killed
by Jason and you asked your husband you
asked Jason point-blank can you tell me
what what happened because he wanted to
make sure what did you ask him
I've asked Jason multiple times to tell
me everything that I need to know I said
Jason Jason doesn't have a whole lot of
money so we do most of his stuff pro se
which is where we file it ourselves and
me and his father have pretty much done
his appeal and I've always asked him I
need to know everything you can tell me
don't you get home and that's basically
how we start our conversations and Jason
will recall things and it you know more
and more it's like been a snowball that
I picked up exactly what I think
happened yeah India told he was innocent
yes and you do believe him
I do believe him I like I said I believe
that Jason had involvement I don't
believe he killed three people
I wrote Jason for maybe two years before
I went to meet him because really I
could do most of the stuff through the
mail and one day I was talking to his
mother and she said something to the
effect of you'll never guess what Jason
said to me today and I said what and she
said he told me that he was in love with
you and I said that's crazy
and I remember to give it like the
priest story I was with my best friend
and when I hung up I said my best
friend's cat I was like cat Jason
Burkett's in love with me she goes
that's probably pretty good cuz you're
in love with him too and I said what are
you talking about having an idiot you
know
and she said dude when is the last time
you've been on a date when's lost and we
haven't spent a Saturday
night with Jason Burkett's court
paperwork I was like hey that smells
nice but I ended up driving I lived in
Nebraska time I ended up driving from
Omaha to Abilene because I wanted him to
tell me himself and he was out the
Robertson unit you were two days into
night strange yes I drove it it seemed
like unless - I drove a night I got
there and I remember I just asked him
like that was the first thing I said I
was like hot we've never seen each other
in our lives but hi your mom told me
that you're in love with me but I didn't
say it I wanted to be coy so I said your
mom told me you told her something and
visit I said what did you tell her and
he said I need stamps and I was like I
wouldn't be an Abilene cuz you need
stamps right what are you don't play
games with me and he goes oh that part
where I said I was in love with you and
then I dropped the phone cuz I was
nervous and I didn't know what to say
and I kind of fumbled through that whole
visit because I didn't immediately go I
love you too I wasn't you know like a
movie I was very nervous I'm not that
girl that falls in love with an inmate
and I was like okay I'm just gonna be
cool with it and then when I left the
day I met Jason there was a rainbow and
I'm not this is true it's in our letters
there was a rainbow that went from one
gate side of the gate to the other side
of the gate and I thought that was the
most miraculous sign that this is this
is the boy that I'm supposed to be with
him this is he isn't innocent because
how many times you see a whole rainbow
and when we saw a whole rainbow and my
friends with me he saw the rainbow - I
have a witness and when Jason when I got
home I had a letter waiting for me and I
said did you see the rainbow at the
gates of the prison he went from one
side my side on the outside to the
inside
I believe in me you know I know what I
know what happened back in 2001 I know
that I wasn't a part of it and I believe
strongly in in my faith in my attorneys
and in the outcome but at the same time
I don't even recognize these walls I
don't pay attention to this because if
you do you're gonna lose your mind
you're gonna you're gonna go you're
gonna you're gonna lose your mind I'm
recently another guy just killed himself
the other day and he left a note saying
that y'all have to live around all this
craziness and I'm gone and that's
because he was focusing on it but I
don't I don't focus on it
you know I just I just distract myself I
stay busy I work on my case I have a
great family a lot of supporters that
help me so um I have enough distractions
if I didn't have enough distraction I
might be in a different position at how
does time occur to you know in your
situation Wow and so that's a good thing
it really varies but you know because I
like I'll forget I'll literally forget
and then I'll look at my calendar I'll
hear someone say something about Hannah
and I'll sit back and I'll just stare at
the wall and I'll be like man say eight
days seven days six days or whatever and
it's like it's just I I must not be
comprehending the fact that it's that
close because you know it's hard for me
to say you know what I got talked to be
you know in the eight days these people
want to murder me and it's just
something that it's hard for me too hard
for me to believe that the state of
Texas wants to murder me in eight days
in West case in area you know exactly
what is going to happen on July 1st yeah
an execution you will be transported to
Huntsville right the walls in bits of
this house yes sir and you will be
checked by a medical examiner I don't
know no no medical people can be
involved I think they have to check you
that you are fit to be executed it's one
of them it might be it's one of these
absurdities if you're unconscious for
example you cannot be executed yeah if
you're stark mad yeah that is true if
you're bleeding from a gunshot wound
they would not
put you onto the gurney all right
they gotta treat me first and then kill
me yeah that's that's kind of crazy to
think about right yeah I just I just
can't allow myself to think like I can't
even picture myself laying on a gurney
but if it happens I'll have to deal with
it huh you know I have to deal with it
and I'll be able to watch over my mom
from heaven with a clear conscience and
be at peace you know like I said for a
long time my life has been unhappy so
finally I can find me some peace huh and
you're at peace with yourself now took a
long time yes absolutely did took a long
time to realize what a man was I was act
there acting like a child
act like a child when I got here at
first but uh I'm confident in Who I am
now Mac you parry
I wish you all the best yes thank you I
don't know what's gonna happen at we're
gonna see we're gonna find out I'll find
out on Monday
they knew what I was telling them no
true I mean I'm not gonna tell
you anything but I'm gonna tell you
everything snow hat back here
four o'clock guys gonna come in here and
they're gonna fingerprint you shortly
after that I was gonna lie to you to
take a shower and then we're gonna put
you in Free World clothes that you get
you dress in Free World clothes free
wore clothes would be too close you and
I would wear if I had six like whatever
your your request for the last meal
they'll bring it in
you know you'll sit there and eat your
last meal during that time if you need
anything else just ask you know need
some more geez Ponce or whatever else we
got back here just ask their own day
sometimes it has strange requests you
know within reason I'm gonna get it for
you requests or one one man I sure like
to smoke a doobie right now well that's
not gonna happen you know the guy with
the key he opens the door
it's Winston's adorable there's another
correction also behind him and another
behind me soon as he does he follows me
in then the other correction officers
followed right in behind them so to be
two in front of in front of they mate
and then the other three right behind
him
I tell him jump up on the gurney or so
then our automatic only a few steps from
this end if I would say no more than ten
steps at that much
I would immediately go rancid
occurrences I always took care of the
left leg so as soon as he laid down I
took their left leg the other person was
in front with me would take care of the
right the three didn't fell in behind
one would take care of the the right arm
I will take care of the left arm and the
other one would be there in case they
may once he legs down if he had a
response to tried to get back to up his
job was to hold to hold his shoulders
down you know you know what you're up
there you're up there you know within
that time us four people would have him
done probably within about 15 seconds
he'd be strapped down that couldn't cuz
we all knew exactly where straps were
what was possible that time to the
process we trained on it
so last time you're gonna see I'm gonna
see him where his eyes open because
after the execution is done and the
process went and then they told the
doctor in to pronounce him dead you
netted about at least my job begins
again because I have to go back in there
and that's that's awful
also kind of difficult because here you
sit with this individual eight to ten
hours all day long and now the last
thing you're doing is removing those
straps the stress had to be roof and put
them on another gurney for the funeral
home and then you thought he didn't
think about none of this why are you
doing this the procedure there are none
of this you don't keep you don't put
those emotions out there do you did you
did the job go home you did tell many
executions roughly they was over 125 120
somewhere over hundred twenty there was
a bunch was that to the point or
especially after I'd sometimes I
promoted to captain in 90 where we're
doing two a week that was getting
tiresome in what happened to you then I
back when they when they brought in
taller face I stayed back there with her
now definitely there was the first
female there we were fixes to execute
I remember one thing so vividly that it
was an hour before and I was standing
there in the chaplain Center and she
looked at me she knows Thank You captain
Allen for everything you've done
oh so you're welcome you know I saw like
he'll say and what else what else I'm
gonna say
you down another hour which we went
precision everything went just wave was
supposed to you know she was pronounced
dead and went back in there and I took
the girl took straps off put her you
know journey and this dog we locked
everything up and one of our business
and and everything was fine I had a
little shop in the back it was six
o'clock and the news come on over the
radio and started again and for some
reason just out of the blue I heard it
they triggered me seeing her hurt and I
start shaking oh what's wrong and then
it was it was it was a shake it was a
shake like I couldn't why am i shaking
it and then I was just see my I was
sweaty and in tears also and this this
is hurt I remembered her and it's two
days afterwards I remembered her
execution hers wasn't no different
anybody else but it was hers and then I
started actually visualizing the other
inmates as you asked me did you look at
in their eyes I wonder if I could see
them I could actually see him in the
holding cell again you know one right
after another and it seemed like it was
just my wife what's wrong with you and I
don't know and he talked somebody and
the first person I could think of was
Terrell Chaplin picking any time over
house and we said how old Swain and I
started coming down tonight what's wrong
and I told him and then I looked at
careless I can't do no more that's it
I'm done I can't I can't go back there
anymore
could it be that you thought that this
was not yourself but maybe it was a real
self
that moment has real possibility that's
really deep inside of just came out
that's a good very I mean that's coming
from that point on I mean I've had a
different outlook in life if executions
was the law then I was going to make
sure there was done professionally with
integrity after Karla and I was a pro
capital punishment after Karla Fame
after all this until this day eleven
years later no sir I don't nobody has
the right to tell you another life I
don't care if it's the law and it's so
easy to change the law
I don't want to sound like a evil person
but I'm so glad I went to the execution
I really am I thought with my with
myself about going I reserved this the
seat so I could be there but I'm glad I
went I'm really glad I went
it really did something to me yeah what
did he do I don't know I don't know what
I don't know what happened but I
immediately after the execution I felt
like a that's saying a huge weight had
been lifted I actually could take a deep
breath my heart didn't take as much
I remember walking in and thinking this
looks like a boy I hadn't built this
huge monster evil you know murdering
monster in my head and he he was just a
boy he was just a boy lighting all that
gurney
when I walked in he looked at me and he
looked away and he did a double-take
same thing Jason Burkett did in court I
look like my mom I look a lot like my
mother and what did you say he forgave
us he forgave us yeah and I was upset
when I walked in and I was crying
you know we're holding my whole family
we didn't want to see someone die you
know that no one should have to do go
through that but we were there for my
mother you know when my brother and we
were crying and when he said he forgave
us put what for the atrocity brought
against him
and then he said he's ready to go I
heard his mother cry and they gave him
the injection he gasped for air four
times I watched his shirt don't you know
it's heart being on shirt
I watched it till it stopped then it
stopped at 6:14 one tear fell down as I
one tear and he was gone
and it was over and prospect of someone
who is going to be locked away for life
without parole would that satisfy you as
yes so it would be definitely an
alternative because death penalty sounds
a little bit too much like Old Testament
the wrath of God Jesus probably would
not have been at that look at us but
some people just don't deserve to live
can I say something please I know I'm
July the furthest my name they executed
Michael and I knew Michael pretty well
yeah and I kept up with I have another
four kind of clipping and website thing
I have on him and Jason I have like a
whole Locker box full so I know as much
about him as is anybody in my in Mike
Michael was just just like Jason they
were both young and whatever they did or
didn't do I don't know I wasn't there
but Michael was just was just a young
young kid and
and I know he I know when they executed
him I know how I know his less words and
everything else and and and I know I
know
by executing Michael I don't think it
brought any of those people back and I
don't think it deterred anything I don't
think it deterred anybody out there
much-publicized as it was he did not
deter anything and I really did not
believe that it solved anything by
taking another life and it hurt me but
when he went when it come time for his
execution I knew it was gonna be about
six o'clock it's six early a few minutes
after 6:00 p.m. and I was on my knees at
my bump in for Michael praying for
Michael and a feeling come over me about
ten five or ten minutes after 6:00 a
feeling come over me that's very very
hard to explain it was like I felt the
loss of what used to be my son's best
friend
I felt I felt that I felt that pain
whenever they killed him but I just wish
those family the family members would
know that I'm like that I am I heard for
their loss that's very importantly
Michael never never that's what upset
them because Michael never tried to
reach out to them I wish I could and say
I'm sorry
Melissa let me address one thing among
death row inmates there's such a
phenomenon like death row groupies the
same way rock stars have groupies and
you have seen women like that I have
seen women like that in fairness I've
also have seen women who are married to
death row inmates and truly committed
relationships that I believe are not
disingenuous and I believe come from
their heart you know some people are
just supposed to be together whether
there's a cage and lawmen between you I
believe that I mean I do believe that
there's a fair amount of women who want
attention who my media coverage to seek
out infamous men I mean like Scott
Peterson gets a hundred letters a day on
death row in California that's
ridiculous he murdered his pregnant wife
yes I said correct that case yeah a
good-looking man does that you know
however Jason is not an ugly man either
describe him to us please like
physically yes
you only have touched his hand describe
his hands to us they're a lot bigger
than mine right there are tiny hands he
always Jason he holds hands funny and he
always holds my hand like that as
opposed to intertwine so he holds on to
me and I just know that his hands were
massive because he wears a ring size 11
our wedding rings it's an 11 and a half
and I were a four so you can totally cup
my hand
where are you allowed to touch each
other
hardly each other exchanged rings
I still can't get a ring and you were
separated by a glass wall just like this
right here except for we had a phone and
it was solid right here it's not aglow
but when she comes for visits are you
allowed to hug her I am now after we
married I'm allowed to hug her I'm
allowed to give her a kiss before and
after visit we're allowed to hold hands
on the table and have contacted but of
course of course with the guards present
as close as you are to me and you would
like to have children yes how would that
happen how what sort of option is there
I want 50 children she wants to saw man
we have to work on this
I want children for different reasons I
want children with her specifically
because I love her I want to be with her
I want to give her something she'll
always have with me I'm under the
impression seeing you now that you
became pregnant only a few days after we
met your husband um you guys spent him
on the 18th of October I think so yeah
something like yeah I believe my baby
was made on the 23rd October right after
we saw a house there to 24th you went
into action first speak
and the father of the baby is legally
will be chasing yes it is chasing
biologically legally I can't every
single sense since you are not allowed
to do more than touching hands how do
you become pregnant there's a mystery
yeah it's kind of a mystery um there is
people involved that I don't wanna
mention no we would not imply any anyone
but I have to speculate s such a thing
like contraband entering prisons like
let's say drugs cellphones illegal
messages there seems to be something the
other way round
contraband from the prison to the
outside and you became pregnant oh can
be formulated like this we we prefer to
say that I was artificially inseminated
do you have a name for the boy I love we
came up with Eastern Eastern Aran
okay shows I think there's a face can
you point it out it's right there if you
actually can see it close enough you can
tell my baby has my strong job
you live on through your children and
the love that you put into them projects
to the world my parents are both gone
and I had this big hole in my heart and
I realized that what you do is you take
all of that love and you give it back
I mean nothing else matters
I actually have this shirt tacked up on
my walk can they see the shrimp can you
turn it around
I just make sure and somebody told me
about the the live your - and that's
really after all this that I went
through and quitting everything I've
heard the stores telling me of a few -
how do you how do you gonna live your
dash and then they don't understand what
are you talking about - and this one's
your tombstone you get your birth date
and you got the day that you decease and
you get that little dash in the middle
that's your life right there that's
wrong that's everything between from
your tummy is born from the time you die
how are you gonna live your - and that's
where I'm at now I'm going to live my -
and made sure that everything tried to
make everything right for the family
everybody hold still and watch the birds
and you knew once you get up in Mt life
like that and once you feel good about
your life you understand you do start
watching what the birds do you know what
the Ducks are don't like the
hummingbirds why there's so many of them
