在經過23天、超過28小時的審訊後，Tapp坦白參與了Angie的謀殺案。

But his subsequent death penalty was controversial as he would change his story in multiple interviews as evidence only became less damning.

It wasn't until 2001 when Tapp recanted his confession.

直到2001年，Tapp才撤銷了他的坦白。

I continue to give them story after story and they should have just stopped.

最令人不安的意外發生在 2006 年 6 月 27 日 Resendiz 死刑執行前不久。

His final statement expressed remorse for allowing, quote, the devil to rule his life and contentment that he was getting what he deserved.

Ross believed that this process was prolonging the suffering of those affected by his crimes and that his death would act as a sort of signpost for their grieving process.

Ross 認為這個過程延長了他罪行受害者的痛苦，而他的死將會成為他們療傷過程中的一個指標。

There was nothing they could have said or done.
