Teenage Killer I Death Row: Inside Indiana State Prison Part 1 | Real Crime

Sir Trevor MacDonald ventures into one of America’s most infamous prison.
There he comes face to face with the men on death row to find out what it’s like to live under the looming shadow of their final day.
On this first part we meet an inmate that was able to escape the death row, see the prison barber shop where prisoners have a rare glimpse of normal life, and we meet a bright young man in death row due to a grave mistake he made at 13.

He does seem very articulate and it's sad to see him in there wasting away his life when it seems he had so much more potential. I tend to think if you commit a murder as a teen, you'll be worse as an adult. I can't imagine being locked up on death row. Now, I think his partner in crime had more influence since he was older. I feel he would change his life around if given the chance and be a productive member of society.

[@JacobSmith-xt3pn]

I really like the way Sir Trevor McDonald talks with the inmates. He’s so respectful, even though his questions are still tough, and he isn’t trying to provoke them the way Piers Morgan does. Even when Morgan tries to talk with inmates in a conciliatory way, he just can’t seem to help making sure they know their “place.” Sometimes British public personalities use their accents to condescend to people, and McDonald’s accent is definitely just as “plummy” (as they say in the UK) as Morgan’s, but he doesn’t have the detestable antagonistic streak that Morgan does.

These are living examples of the phrase “There are no bad people, only bad choices.”

[@brockwillenborg7517]

You who say this man wanted to rob, I say you are a fool and wrong. For his soul wanted blood, not loot. His thoughts know this too be true but like all weak men, he is charming but that has always been the cleverness of cowards. We know he is weak by his very action of letting the madness take over himself and killing an innocent women. Anytime a weak man talks, know his words are different than his actions and malice is in his every word. For envy, jealousy, etc fill his heart when he sees a man who has risen above these things. Until this man admits why he killed those women, never can this man be trusted. Released, and likely, he kills again. A bad choice is hitting your father out of anger. A bad choice is not killing two people. This comment section is a prime example of the phrase "being "nice" is easiest moral virtue to fake and the greatest desire to give by weak men, for with it comes an unconscious contract of lying. A contract to allow each individual to live within fantasy land, removed from truth and reality. Better is the man who deals with truth". This is why most are not crying over the dead. For the dead cant fulfil the contract. And a more applicable phrase to the men in this video "Acts of great kindness do not make the narrow souls, who that think blameworthy is all great existence, grateful, but rather vengeful"

[@Mikej1592]

Similar sentiment from what that guy said near the end, I have been against the death penalty. Two reasons really. First is like he said, people preach how killing is wrong, yet you're about to strap a man to a table and murder him. Yeah he murdered but killing him will not bring his victims back from the grave. And my second reason is death is too good for them. It is far more painful to be alive.

He was separated from his wife at the time. He had threatened to kill his family in the past. When his wife served him divorce papers, he went to his brother's house, grabbed the gun, then purchased more ammo. He went to Melissa's house, shot her in the leg, then in the head a few times. Then proceeded to shoot both of his daughters in the head also. He then proceeded to take Melissa's car, drive to a bridge, and climbed to the highest part of the bridge.. Then jumped in the Ohio river. He sustained minor back injuries, and the rest you know.

Not saying he shouldn't, but imagine seeing the world today when the last image you have of the outside is the 70s? I wasn't even born then, the pictures I see from the time look semi-alien.

Maybe some sort of midway house, facility to help him, bit alone, I don't know if he'd manage, especially if he hasn't got family to help him with the cultural shock.
