Guatemala: Lethal Injection executions live on TV

[ropetrick]

In Guatemala in 2000, the executions of two killers were broadcast live on TV.
The first died quickly, the second was shown by TV cameras being led "shaking very badly" into the execution room, which then showed close-ups of him dying, including his trembling hand as the injections went in and the slowly flatlining cardiac monitor.
(Genuine pictures... you can Google the story and see that it's true]

I've seen these pics before, and always wondered if the video was floating around somewhere on the internet. Would be very curious to see the process in action

I wish they'd shown more, like their faces. Love the socked feet.

It was broadcast on TV, but I haven't been able to find the footage on YouTube or anywhere else. I guess it's been taken down. There are a couple of snippets, but not the actual footage as broadcast, which apparently showed the prisoners being led in and then executed.
