Speaker 1: Cooper Flag is going to be a Dallas Maverick. They
Speaker 1: are not going to entertain trade offers. They're going to
Speaker 1: draft their guy, one of the biggest prospects to come
Speaker 1: out I don't know, and a decade maybe, I mean
Speaker 1: just a can't miss number one pick. And the MAVs
Speaker 1: moved up from the eleventh pick, and they won the lottery.
Speaker 1: They had the number one overall pick and a huge
Speaker 1: draft where a SuperStar's coming out, very very exciting stuff
Speaker 1: for a team that had a free fall from making
Speaker 1: it to the finals, traded their fan base his favorite player,
Speaker 1: and suddenly things are looking bright again. Just a miraculous
Speaker 1: turn of events. We'll get back into the Cooper Flag
Speaker 1: pick coming up here in just a matter of moments.
Speaker 2: But right now it's time for.
Speaker 3: This, guys. Let's go to Kevin.
Speaker 4: And now for the latest in crime. Serial killers, cold cases,
Speaker 4: cult leaders, and blood. You know him, you fear him.
Speaker 4: It's time for true crime KT.
Speaker 5: Kevin, what's your question for oday?
Speaker 6: I have any questions for oj many You remember a
Speaker 6: couple months ago we just discus that a firing squad
Speaker 6: execution was set to take place in South Carolina.
Speaker 3: Yes, and when that story happened, You guys are like, what.
Speaker 7: I don't and I don't remember when was the last
Speaker 7: time we had firing squads, like seventies.
Speaker 6: I know we discussed it when we did this story
Speaker 6: three months ago, but I don't know that I don't
Speaker 6: remember that.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I think it happened in the seventies.
Speaker 3: We had one last month and uh, pretty hot. It
Speaker 3: didn't go great.
Speaker 6: Yep, here's what happens with these firing squad executions. They
Speaker 6: also they have people there, local news or the Associated
Speaker 6: Press are there to cover it as a witness reporter.
Speaker 7: Oh do they still blindfold the guy and put a
Speaker 7: lit cigarette in his mouth?
Speaker 3: No, they don't, don't like back in the day.
Speaker 5: It's hard.
Speaker 7: Look, I realized that this that we're talking about the
Speaker 7: death of a person, But this is so archaic and
Speaker 7: cave man ish.
Speaker 5: I can't help but like laugh about this.
Speaker 1: What else would they do? They electrocute them, or they
Speaker 1: do legal injection. Yeah, we've had some failures that lately too.
Speaker 1: I mean, we saw the Green Mile. You saw that
Speaker 1: somebody could make sure that the sponge and wet.
Speaker 5: Never saw the green mile.
Speaker 6: Go ahead.
Speaker 3: Give a weekend to it.
Speaker 5: It's take always does Walt Goggins die in that?
Speaker 6: Okay, no different one. This lotus a TV show different
Speaker 6: than the movie.
Speaker 5: Yeah, that is the most shocking thing I've ever heard
Speaker 5: you say.
Speaker 6: What Like Jurassic Park is a big one too, But
Speaker 6: the Green Mile, I.
Speaker 3: Just actually not surprised that he hasn't seen.
Speaker 5: So yeah, I was like, all another Tom Hanks lib movie.
Speaker 6: I'm good, Sorry, No, you're good. How many people do
Speaker 6: you guys think was on the firing squad six?
Speaker 1: I think the more the better, because the thing is,
Speaker 1: you don't want anyone to know they're the one who
Speaker 1: for sure shot him, or that they're going to.
Speaker 2: You want a bunch of people to shoot at the guy.
Speaker 1: They don't care though, and then it's fires blanks and
Speaker 1: then they're like.
Speaker 2: I don't know, did I get him? Did you get them?
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't know. We had blanks. One
Speaker 2: guy had a real bullet.
Speaker 3: Give him mind. This guy did kill an off duty
Speaker 3: police officer long ago.
Speaker 7: Yeah, it's I mean, it's something bad happened to siputate
Speaker 7: the firing squad?
Speaker 2: Is there a spot they're supposed to hit him? Like
Speaker 2: right the four.
Speaker 7: And you know, like in the early days of firing squad.
Speaker 7: They had to adjust this because originally they all got
Speaker 7: in a circle around the guy and that did not
Speaker 7: end well.
Speaker 5: I would.
Speaker 1: Say it'd be better if there was more. So, if
Speaker 1: you had at least six, I think it'd be better.
Speaker 1: They had three. They only had three.
Speaker 3: Oh no, a good shot.
Speaker 5: Was it three people that had fired a gun before?
Speaker 5: It's three people?
Speaker 6: And his legal team has fouled a complaint because a
Speaker 6: forensic pathologist has viewed the autopsy, the photographs, and they've
Speaker 6: determined that only two bullets hit him, So one guy
Speaker 6: just missed.
Speaker 2: Wait everyone had the bullets. Also, wait, everyone had bullets.
Speaker 2: No one had blanks.
Speaker 3: Yeah, everyone had bullets.
Speaker 2: Sh my god, I thought you weren't. I thought it
Speaker 2: was like certain guys had blanks.
Speaker 3: What's a blank.
Speaker 2: It's a fake bullet, So you don't know if you're
Speaker 2: the one who kills or not.
Speaker 3: Supposed to destroy, like destroy the guy.
Speaker 2: I think.
Speaker 6: Then also, they missed his heart largely. Two of them hit,
Speaker 6: so he kills over he's groaning and the reporter from
Speaker 6: the Associated Press that he's there just groaning for like
Speaker 6: two minutes after he got hit because they missed his heart.
Speaker 2: Maybe he shouldn't have murdered a guy.
Speaker 6: Well a long time ago though, but still a cruel
Speaker 6: punishment was something we don't do.
Speaker 2: I don't care he killed the guy.
Speaker 5: Why wouldn't they walk up and shoot him some more?
Speaker 5: Like you know what I'm saying, like, what what? What
Speaker 5: are the rules here? What are we trying to achieve?
Speaker 2: This?
Speaker 6: Forensic pathologist said, quote did one member of the execution
Speaker 6: team miss him entirely?
Speaker 3: Did they not fire at all?
Speaker 5: How did the two who did shoot him miss his heart?
Speaker 1: Like?
Speaker 3: How does that happen? Did the one guy buckle under pressure?
Speaker 5: You know, he starts contemplating everything like I.
Speaker 3: Don't want to kill him.
Speaker 5: Man, I don't want to kill him.
Speaker 6: Man.
Speaker 5: Was he was he cuffed or did he was he
Speaker 5: able to run around?
Speaker 2: Run around?
Speaker 6: God?
Speaker 2: Who cares? Why would anyone? Like? I hope nobody?
Speaker 1: Because it's inhumane, But it's also in humane to murder
Speaker 1: a police officer.
Speaker 2: Maybe don't do that now.
Speaker 5: I agree with all that.
Speaker 6: I I the cop was not a cop at the time,
Speaker 6: he was off duty. To me, he's his other PERSONA.
Speaker 5: I don't know about that.
Speaker 7: Take to me, death penalty and abortion in these things
Speaker 7: they're very difficult things to I know some people have
Speaker 7: very strong beliefs and they think they're right no matter what,
Speaker 7: and that's fine too, but these are not easy answers
Speaker 7: to me. I get, I get I'm rational, Bill on
Speaker 7: these things.
Speaker 2: I get it.
Speaker 7: They're very tricky and confusing, and I get it. And
Speaker 7: I don't really know a good way for an execution
Speaker 7: to happen. Otherwise we wouldn't be going back to a
Speaker 7: firing squad. It is so happening like on a remote
Speaker 7: part of Cuba with Castro watching, like it just seems
Speaker 7: so other century, you know.
Speaker 6: Yeah, well that's the lightest turn I could take on
Speaker 6: a very dark story. Good job, Kevin, that's my question
Speaker 6: for j. All Right, there he goes Kevin K T.
Speaker 6: Turner with the true crime KT coming up next around
Speaker 6: the sports. Let's get back into the MAVs getting the
Speaker 6: number one pick. This is just over three minutes away.
Speaker 6: Don't go nowhere,
