This man was not crying nor emotional. He was merely cold and sniffling. It was 47° F at the time of this interview; which is bone chilling cold to a Floridian! Especially if all you have on is a thin dress shirt and suit jacket.
Unfortunately if he said “It was tough to see that” or anything showing emotion the comments and media would crucify the man saying “Ted buddy deserved it” I mean he did but there’s no understanding nowadays
Add to that the fact that he'd been sure he was going to be executed since midnight, barring a phone call at the literal last minute. Finally, it's about 15 after 7, you're strapped in the chair, blind, and wet from the sponge under the headgear affixed to your head. You're just waiting for the bolt to take your life. Still, it's way better than he deseved. Death in general was too good. He should have been locked away in a dark cell and never allowed to speak to anyone other than the prison staff for the rest of his life, being only let out for showers and always under armed guard. That would have been real hell for him.
I can't imagine bee able to eat knowing your an hour from death... Hungry mofos.. Prison won't feed dem.. 73cent a day to keep a prisoner in some U. S. States. 🇮🇪🇵🇸
Yes, as much as he’s saying it didn’t bother him, his face and off camera moments show that it actually did. I wouldn’t want to watch that happening either

@@ndsmudlogger4061 Exactly. Number one; it was cold outside. Number two; he has an earpiece in, which means he has to pay attention to more than one thing. I love how people try and read someone without wider context. His "off camera mannerisms" for other serious news reports that same cold day would've likely been the same.
He trying make it look alright to the people of Florida...if told them he scared and screaming his head off...people want the death penalty...someone was is pain ..it took longer then it should ...dont get me wrong ... if did it on tv..so everyone can see...think be alot less murderous
Him saying “it didn’t affect me at all. Not one bit.” That’s a huge lie....you can see how he reacts and the look on his face it traumatized him big time.
the guy is a state legislator and he is voting for this, that's why he said it. And yes you are right, it would affect anyone, one way or the other, if not they would be lying, like this guy is.
For all those who admire or feel sorry for “Ted,” do you know the name of one of his victims? Probably not. The victims and their respective beloved family and friends of this murderer are long forgotten. Unfortunately, Bundy, or for many of you who refer to him as “Ted” will remain very well known for years and years to come. One thing about this executed cruel murderer is he will not victimize again--not a defenseless college girl on the street, not a “cell mate,” not a correctional officer. God, I wish more people would empathize with and remember the victims and their families and worry not about about evil people.
I understand what you are saying; Bundy was an especially cruel, sadistic and diabolically clever serial killer. He deserved sympathy from nobody. But in my opinion neither he nor any other convicted person should be executed. Society lowers itself (near) to the level of criminals like Bundy when it kills in the name of vengeance (and let's not kid ourselves; that's what it is -- it's not a deterrent). Furthermore, not all murder convictions are anywhere near as clear-cut as was Bundy's. The justice system is a fallible instrument set up and managed by fallible human beings who make mistakes. There is the very real possibility of innocent people being executed. This is simply too much of a risk to run, however much all of us do not shed a tear for the likes of Ted Bundy.
i don't know anyone who admires or feels sorry for ted .I think most people are puzzled by him and want to understand what could be called the inexplicable .
I'm going to say something positive. I think this man did a good job expressing himself. I felt he was honest, polite, and descriptive, yet never over the top at all.
It's also January; or, he could have just had a word with family of a victim; or, since it's 8:00 AM, he's been up a long, long while. Could be a number of things.
He's not crying. It's an early winter morning (January). He's sniffling to keep snot from running down his face while giving the interview. Notice the frosty breath? Have you never been cold?
I may be cruel, but the real justice wasn't his death; It was his final hours knowing he would soon meet his maker. The world is better without Ted Bundy in it.
The mothers of several of his victims did NOT want Bundy put to death. They contacted his mother to say that they were sorry, and explained that they were distressed to know that she would be feeling the same pain that they were living with. Those women...they are REMARKABLE. That level of humanity is something we should all be inspired by.
I strongly believe that if these mothers would have seen what he did to their daughters in real-time, they would have skin him alive. The hell with humanity. They should deliver Teddy to his mother, medium rare!
@@pawel1545 Um, those mothers, unlike you, were educated and very thoughtful women. You also don't seem to even be aware of what happened in the case. It is amazing that you read about the grace and humanity of other people. and upbraid them for it..and claim you know their thoughts. You're a lot like Ted Bundy.
@@greenman6141 I am highly educated man. I just treat mass murderers like they deserve, unlike weak idiots like yourself. Use your great amount of empathy and imagine what his victims felt step by step. Picture the exact situations they were going through. Now tell me about humanity. Death penalty is one of the best thing in the world.
They are not him. Simple. The fish you fish out from a pond isn't you. One would say a fish isn't a good example for a human being, but... not in a psychopath's mind. That is kind of fascinating, even. A complete and utter distance from humanity and it's technicalities.
@I. Wynn Wynn Are you implying that the majority of men is psychopath? He is not like most men, he is an exception, I would not say that he's ill, but he lacks something that most people have, he lacks empathy. I could say that most women just care about themselves, about money, but I don't believe that.
Do many states use the electric chair anymore? I don't think death by injection would bother me. By electric chair would probably shake me up for like.
Hell I’d wanna see it if it was someone of Ted’s caliber. Executions now days are too easy. They should burn at the stake or use gasoline in lethal injection...
His request to tell his family that he loved them should be seen as a comfort to his family, not him. His friends and relatives did not murder anyone, and Bundy never blamed his family for influencing his perverted sex drive.
I was 10 years old in '89. I remember watching people on the news talking about Bundy's execution and like a death countdown till he met ol sparky. People where cheering and genuinely happy when Bundy was executed. It was all over the radio too. I was young but I remember that day. I remember when Dahmer got busted too
I was 7 years old when this all went down and I also clearly remember it. This is when I first learned what execution and the electric chair was. It seemed very cruel to me at the time of course, being a small child.
Amy Rosenthal I remember that. It was just like any other news story. Not that much. Back then the hugest news story was the OJ Simpson case. That’s all anyone seemed to care about.
His denial of the situation was pierced... a guard said his knees buckled when he first glimpsed the chair. I hope in that moment he made a connection to the fear his victims felt, and understood his wrongdoing in a deeper way. That I would hope.
I’m torn on this. Revenge feels good, sure. But couldn’t we have learned more from this creature? Things that would help us understand and combat other manifestations of evil? This thing was like the devil. We should’ve kept it alive and studied it.
@@Krustycrabpizza35 no its in about evry i dunno how many percent of humans but its natures way of keeping human population down we are top of the food chain we need things killing us like all other animals. impossible to stop
+ersh man oh ersh man. I see a lot of your posts have 1 like, I'm guessing you like your own posts cos you know it's anonymous and you want people to think your posts are popular. Did you put a lot of thought into that?
+kenwayne96 I agree, he does look pretty sad when he spoke about "that walk" to the chair. Even though I'm sure he may agree with the execution, like alot of people, one just feels bad that the whole situation of a human being turned into a vile murderer evolved in the first place.
No matter how evil someone is I think it would be hard to watch someone die just knowing theyre human. And by no way am I saying Ted Bundy didnt deserve this he completely did.
I'm just glad that Ted is no longer with us, he had already proven that if he escaped,he was going to continue killing. My heart goes out to the kids that he murdered in a horrific way and to their families. God bless them.
You damn right, the first time he escaped he was caught within days, and the second time that he escaped he killed 3 more people and injured several others. Now people need to take that into consideration
He started off very assured, positive that he was unaffected by it. Then you can see the enormity of it all hit him, hard and he struggled to hold himself together. He'd just watched a human being, if albeit a terrible one, be electrocuted to death....thats never an easy thing to see.

+Jay Kay hi !..i like to know what is the meaning of those letterss ..can you tell me please?...because english is not m'y spoken language...so i do Miss things sometime !...thank you !
He needed assistance to walk his last walk change his color at least he knew when he was going to die his victims never had that chance he took that away from them and their family
Wow this shows the vast difference between what someone says ( for what ever reason , I suspect politics )and how one truly feels I mean this guy has an obvious emotional reaction to witnessing the death of another human and that is a good thing , that is what separates normal people from the Ted Bundy's of the world . We KNOW no matter what we spout when talking about law and order that it is wrong to kill another human .
@MrHappyBollox I think it's almost an absolute necessity to kill people like Bundy, just because they'd never respect the rule of not killing someone else. It's wrong to kill another human, but if a human is out there killing other humans, then he just needs to be put down like a dog for everyone else's safety.
Weirdly, I don't think he was crying, and if he was it wasn't out of sadness for Bundy's death. I think he was thinking: "Yeah we killed Bundy today, but I wish we could have got him earlier because then we could have saved lives." He acknowledged that in a way, Bundy won many battles even though they may have won the war by killing him. I think he also had proud happy tears coming too. So it was a combination of being proud that Bundy was killed and welling up with emotion around that, and mourning the victims.
There are actually people who think he should get to live after what he did. His victims deserved justice and this was it. Good thing he's not enjoying life, watching TV, reading and doing all the things his victims can't.
He should have lived. Death is not justifiable in anyway. His death does not bring back his victims. Death was an easy out for him. That's not punishment. Especially if he has HONESTLY made his peace with God then all they did was send him to eternity with Christ.
@@DECADESISTERS He was a manipulative psychopath. If he wasn't executed, he would have manipulated his way out. Or escaped, like he did before. Victims shouldn't have to live knowing that the killer could get out.
@@laragingerich1486 The likelihood no he wasn’t going to get out or manipulate himself out because he would’ve been put in a high risk cell block due to the severity of the crimes and escape and likely 23 hours a day in a cell with one hour outside.
Bundy rejected the plea deal which would have saved his life. He wanted to go on trial and to be in the limelight. So he got it! However, all these people cheering and dancing before his execution were not normal either.
I think it was pretty normal, parents of murdered children alone can be expected to be excited when the killer is killed. As for the general public it seems like more of a mob mentality sort of thing to be jumping with joy over it. In their minds they probably aren't seeing another human dying, they're probably seeing it as justice.
This is probably the most accurate account of Ted Bundy's execution process; however, Bundy's "composure" described by former FL Legislator Mackey was not stoicism but contentment that he was accompanied by others and everyone's attention was on him. Male narcissists and female borderlines/histrionics love the attention they receive, doesn't matter if people love 'em like disciples or hate their guts. Attention from other people entails a sense of control. When Bundy was in his solitary holding cell and getting shaved/prepped for the electric chair, the reality of the situation was apparent. This explains the rapid transition of emotions.
Doesn’t matter who it is, seeing something like this, will break you down no matter how hard you think u are. Him talking about this only made him relive
@@maxrocatansky5516 I heard that it scrambles your brain so much as the power is going through your body, you don't know what's going on. But I'm also pretty sure it wouldn't be painless. I mean, your scalp is burning lol.
I am against the death penalty, but, I felt ambiguous pleasure and sadness when I heard that he needed assistance to the chair - definitely more pleasure.
@axelsmith I agree with you. There's a lot to be said when it comes to the manifest of brain matter. Namely the pre-frontal cortex of the brain. There's evidence on MRI's that show less gray matter in that specific area of the brain. That is where empathy etc. is felt. It sounds like to me that people like Bundy just don't have a chance to be normal because of this affliction. It's been said that a tumor in that area of the brain can remove empathy because it is pressing against it. This is just info I came across. There's also a segment on Netflix called, "What makes a Psychopath". Don't quote me on the exact title though! 😉
To affirm that Bundy simply killed for pleasure is a gross simplification. The main problem with you tube et al. is the number of armchair self-proclaimed experts claiming that they know without a shred of expertise. If you are not one of those dimwits then you have no need to reply to this comment like a scolded infant. 😉
Many eyewitnesses were very shocked. Ted was shocked as well... The room was very tensed that day, you could feel the electricity in the air... Ted had a spark of hope he would escape the death sentence but he got other sparks instead...
"He needed assistance." 🤣 He brutally murdered many young women and one child (that we know of) but when it was his time to die, he was cowardly and afraid of the electric chair. His death was mild compared to what he did to his victims.
Bundy had the opportunity to receive life in every state he committed all those horrendous acts. He chose to fight thinking he could create some kind of reasonable doubt.His attorney "John Henry Brown" is brilliant.Getting life for a guy like Ted Bundy is next to impossible. He really was his own worst enemy
For what it's worth, the man being interviewed here (Randy Mackey) was not a media reporter. Rather Mackey was the state legislator from the Lake City area of Florida. That was where the murder of Kimberly Leach occurred for which Bundy was executed that day in 1989. Mackey later went to federal prison for 18 months for failing to report extra income he gained from a consulting relationship with a paving company.
mike johnson in theory what the lethal injection should be doing is putting you to sleep and then you just sort of just stop breathing and you heart stops beating. should be fairly peaceful.
+Timothy Price but its proven that Pancuroniumbromid e.g. is causing terrible pain- ppl report that it feels like burning. And for those who will come up, asking how ppl can tell, the medicament is also used for operations. PPl that where not intoxicated correct will most likely feel pain without a possibility to attract attention. If i had the choice, id chose a bullet!
alaurel81 pancorium isn't the only drug in the injection, it also contains a fast acting barbiturate which unlike pancorium has a strong effect on consciousness i.e you should fall asleep and be unaware of any pain or the fact that you're dying
I’m against capital punishment, but I can’t bring myself to say it is unwarranted in this guys case and others who have done comparably terrible crimes.
The lord says in bible judge not.. I know no matter his crimes if he went to Jesus for his crimes he can be a saved soul resting until the lord returns. We are not God.. can’t love or forgive like our Saviour can.. I pray in those years he waited for his execution he found Christ. There’s no crime so horrid that cannot be forgiven except against the Holy Ghost.
@@jeansavage3618 What do you mean by the end part? The holy ghost part? I'm interested in what you mean by that if you have the time to tell me. . Thanks
You can tell he was emotionally affected. Seeing anyone die, much less being fried to death will screw with you, no matter the circumstances. But he put on a good front as a strong person would.

@@ndsmudlogger4061 I can agree with your statement since cold weather definitely affects the sinuses. (I hate it!) At the same time, however, I don't think it would be out of the park to say that this man could've been affected in _some_ way. He was probably better at compartmentalizing it or numbing the reality.
on't believe him when he says it didn't affect him and he felt nothing. after he said that he pauses for a moment and in that moment he has a reaction at 107 he pauses and sniffles and he takes a deep breath and then at 120 he looks at the camera with a face of sadness almost and at 130 he puts his head down and takes a breath
+Jade Stitchman Wasn't as much of a charge (pun intended) as you thought it would be, eh? I cannot imagine someone liking the noise of the electric switch frying the body and then have to see the smoke coming from the fried prisoner's head. Even though it was Bundy being executed Yes, I am very much against the death penalty.
+Jade Stitchman i thought that too, he did seem affected by it at one point......... but though i think Bundy and others like him def deserve the death penalty, i do think the electric chair is barbaric........the lethal injection is far more humane and certainly far more so than he offered any of his victims!
You are spot on. Everything you said about this barbaric poisoning is exactly correct. The first drug, Sodium Pentothol is a sedative that puts the inmate to sleep. The second is Pancuronium Bromide which causes the lungs to collapse and renders him unable to show the horrible pain that causes is the worst. It's being locked into your body, with no way of reacting. Then the Potassium Chloride stops the heart, If they omitted the paralysing chemical and just used the PC, then it would have been painless. It's the medication used to put sick animals down and is a humane death. I have watched three of my cats die as this is being carried out and they actually do just fall asleep. It still hurt like hell to see them drift into oblivion and slowly get colder and colder, but give that their quality of life had taken a nosedive, it was the right thing to do. I have been a very vocal opponent of the death penalty for years now. America is the only civilised country to hold onto this horror show and I don't see this ending anytime soon. California briefly outlawed capital punishment in 1972, but due to an aggressive campaign by right-wing idiots, it was re-instated in 1976. My country hasn't used this for well over a hundred years now and involved public hangings. This gruesome spectacle was deemed barbaric and cruel and it didn't make it into the twentieth century. I am so glad that people like you and me share the knowledge of the ugly side of strapping inmates down and injecting terrible poison into their veins. Hopefully, they will wake up and face the truth, instead of whining that this atrocity appears to be too easy.
I'm a cold reader.. This brings a whole new irony to cold reading, because he literally was just cold, not shaken. Calm down folks. It was a good day for him, and the nation.
This man was not crying nor emotional. He was merely cold and sniffling. It was 47° F at the time of this interview; which is bone chilling cold to a Floridian! Especially if all you have on is a thin dress shirt and suit jacket.
This man wanted to cry, but he remained composed. Described the situation and expressed his desire for the death penalty to continue being practiced. Amazing speaker.
That's called self defence you had no choice but to shoot him as where putting a man in the electric chair and frying his brains out weather his a murderer or not is called pre planned murder.
We could be here all day and night talking about this but all I'm saying is it's just wrong that the U.S law allow's a man if he is a murderer or not to be put in a electric chair and have his brains fried and I'm so happy in my country we stopped the death penalty in the 60's and we gave murderers life in jail from then on and by killing someone your just letting their soul go free.
@@pigtailsandteddybears Thankyou I'm friendly , all I can do spread love, acknowledge people, asked god give people strength. I'm an 90s kid my mom was in her teens when Ted Bundy was executive. Ted Bundy was executive 3 years before I was born. I'm really 💔 for all the families & friends Ted Bundy destroyed
He says that he needed assistance when walking to the execution chamber, but once he sat down in the electric chair he regained his composure. SEE? - All he needed was to sit down and rest for a few minutes.....LOL!
Close to sympathy then some who follow flickers thru changes wen U almost die then U do they r being there and heaven frees him of shameless pain from seeing it ,
If anyone has seen someone die or get killed it will stick with you the rest of you’re life ! I don’t care who you are but this was one guy who got what was coming to him.
Irrelevant sidenote: The man speaking in this video (Randy Mackey) was at the time a lawmaker who later resigned from office after being convicted of felony tax evasion. Prior to that he had also been arrested for illegal deer hunting.
I met Ted Bundy in the death row visiting area at the florida prison where he was executed. I met Ted in 1981. I am a 58 year old woman and I remember that ted would always stare at me. I remember seeing Ted's wife Carol visiting with him.
He’s one of the people that make me believe in the death penalty. I live in Joliet IL. by Statesville Prison and saw the prison the night John Wayne Gacy got lethal injection. It looked like the last scene in Field Of Dreams, just lines of cars with their headlights on.
Many accounts of executions show people being very composed, at peace even. Witnesses of medieval executions especially: a lot of those were done for religious reasons and the condemned genuinely believed that their souls were already one with God.
I remember this very well, it was a near carnival atmosphere outside the gates where the crowd had gathered. There was signs and tee shirts, it was a wild scene of that I will never forget.
+Dim Diolch Ted Bundy was also tried, convicted and sentenced to death for the 1978 murders of Lisa Levy and Margaret Bowman inside their Chi Omega sorority house at Florida State. He was executed for the crime against Kimberly Leach.
Because they convicted him of murder. He was convicted of kidnapping and imprisoned at the Utah State Prison, the same place as Gary Gilmore. However, they let him go to Colorado to face murder charges for the woman from Michigan. It was from there that he escapec and made his way to Fkorida. The irony is that had Bundy faced the music in Utah or Colorado he may still be alive today and, perhaps a media darling.
0:39 "He needed assistance." LOL a lovely euphemism for "He had to be dragged along the corridor by six heavy guards and you can still see his fingernail marks along the walls".
If they hadn't stuffed him full of cotton and put a diaper on him,I'm pretty sure you would've also seen twin trails of urine and feces marking his path as he walked by.
Yeah. Agree with you. Even if Ted Bundy was the worst human on earth, this man is still creepy. He smiled while describing an execution. Thats really really creepy.
flyingvigil How is this man creepy? He's describing the execution of a monster who murdered more than 35 innocent women (his last murder being a 12 year old girl) and enjoyed every second of the rape/murders. Hell if I was a witness to the execution I'd bring popcorn and soda and enjoy watching one of the worst human beings in history get electrocuted and sent straight to hell where he belongs
Shahrzad Gilani I agree justice is a serious manner. But I bet if you witnessed for yourself first hand what Bundy did to those innocent victims (bludgeoned, raped, dismembered, murdered) you'd have a smile on your face too watching Bundy die
ProgRockKing 1) If somehow I did witness all those murders, I would be severely traumatized and witnessing Bundy's execution wouldn't give anyone any relief because nothing could undo what he did. 2) This man didn't witness any murders. He came to Bundy's execution. It IS creepy to enjoy seeing an execution being carried out.
Imo, they should have stuck him in an asylum for the criminally insane, with security watching over him at all times. His mind should have been studied. Killing him did not make those girls come back.
Execution, is actually the easy way out for ted, the most painless by a long shot. Locking someone in a mental institution indefinetly, is absolute torture, and way more fitting for bundy in my opinion. Get him four walls, all padded, 23 hour lockdown, now that is real pain.
Jamesharay Ray right...because in death you can't be sure he's suffering punishment if you beleive in hell then maybe so but it depends on your religion i guess. but however based on accounts it seems he may be an earthbound spirit and that is punishment enough if he can never make it to heaven he will be forever trapped in the prison where he died because people have claimed to see his spectre. so he is suffering damnation if these accounts are true cause i know people lie about ghosts.
He ain't emotionally shaken, he's just physically shaken. It was cold outside. Don't worry guys, he probably had wet dreams about it for many years following.
What I find appaling was Florida's ravenous appetite for executions back at that time period. Everything from their law for murder, the glamorization of the electric chair by several state attorneys general, the defiance of Federal Court rulings, the tasteless disc jockey takes around the state at electrocutions and death penalty convictions, and on and on. It is no surprise that Florida leads the nation in the number of innocent persons released from death row since capital punishment's reinstatement in 1976. There was a bestial mentality there. Heck, even Bundy's Lake City prosecutor admitted to shamefully enjoyind the electrocution.
The death penalty makes us a more civilized society , no doubt about it. The way it is administered at present is what is uncivilised. Us British had the best process, the third Sunday after sentencing and after clemency has been denied they were visited in their cell by a master executioner named Albert Pierrepoint who would hang them by the neck until dead and which was remarkably quick. The way Pierrepoint went about his work was the most authorative , proficient yet humane way to do it. The offender was made to psychologically recognise the gravity of their crime but the sentence was carried out quickly, the quickest of any form of execution , and without fuss and at less cost to the public. With today's modern methods of DNA evidence and other ways to guarentee guilt it should be brought back in special circumstance like this within the UK. We can not tolerate these individuals and doing so without quickly despatching of them only poisons our society . Do things like what Bundy did and there should only be one outcome for you, the rope and done with schnell !!!
anyone saying this guy is a sociopath obviously has 0 idea what a sociopath is. this guys job was to document the event! he did his job! plus you had see his mouth arching down and his sniffling and blinking he's trying not to cry. it's traumatic to watch someone die he was just trying to be professional.
Dude, the sniffling was due to the morning weather. It is cold. My nose runs in the morning, usually due to the cold weather or allergy of pollen. This speaker's eyes revealed that he wasted no pity for a creep who murdered viciously. I don't blame him. In my opinion.
In other words, he died more humanely than his victims.
Agree.
I'm disappointed that he didn't suffer...
Tony From Coney as the death penalty most always is
Tony From Coney live burial would have been more humane than how his victims died
I agree he deserved the most horrible death ever, but I'm also just glad that he's dead and is no longer among us.
Sir, you are not Ted Bundy; it is apparent that you have a heart. Today, you witnessed a man's death so don't be ashamed to feel.
Absolutely.
He wasn't human. He was a monster. May he rest in hell.

Unfortunately if he said “It was tough to see that” or anything showing emotion the comments and media would crucify the man saying “Ted buddy deserved it” I mean he did but there’s no understanding nowadays
Can you actually imagine walking into the room you know you're never gonna leave from?
Yes, I can. Psychopaths can turn on empathy, when we need it.
Errrm kinda 🙄
Add to that the fact that he'd been sure he was going to be executed since midnight, barring a phone call at the literal last minute. Finally, it's about 15 after 7, you're strapped in the chair, blind, and wet from the sponge under the headgear affixed to your head. You're just waiting for the bolt to take your life.
Still, it's way better than he deseved.
Death in general was too good. He should have been locked away in a dark cell and never allowed to speak to anyone other than the prison staff for the rest of his life, being only let out for showers and always under armed guard. That would have been real hell for him.

Doesn't matter who it is that gets executed, of we're there watching it it WILL affect us in some way. It make you think..
For all those who admire or feel sorry for “Ted,” do you know the name of one of his victims? Probably not. The victims and their respective beloved family and friends of this murderer are long forgotten. Unfortunately, Bundy, or for many of you who refer to him as “Ted” will remain very well known for years and years to come. One thing about this executed cruel murderer is he will not victimize again--not a defenseless college girl on the street, not a “cell mate,” not a correctional officer. God, I wish more people would empathize with and remember the victims and their families and worry not about about evil people.
Who would feel sorry for that monster..... Only another monster
I understand what you are saying; Bundy was an especially cruel, sadistic and diabolically clever serial killer. He deserved sympathy from nobody. But in my opinion neither he nor any other convicted person should be executed. Society lowers itself (near) to the level of criminals like Bundy when it kills in the name of vengeance (and let's not kid ourselves; that's what it is -- it's not a deterrent). Furthermore, not all murder convictions are anywhere near as clear-cut as was Bundy's. The justice system is a fallible instrument set up and managed by fallible human beings who make mistakes. There is the very real possibility of innocent people being executed. This is simply too much of a risk to run, however much all of us do not shed a tear for the likes of Ted Bundy.

Rhonda Eaton What would that stuff have to do with Ted Bundy?
He was shaken when he was brought in but regained his composure when he realized he had an audience. He loved the attention right to the end.
Probably when the speaking/interacting resumed too. I imagine the strap-in was a silent process
Just thinking if being electrocuted to death is terrifying, but that too is nothing compared to what his victims felt.
I may be cruel, but the real justice wasn't his death; It was his final hours knowing he would soon meet his maker. The world is better without Ted Bundy in it.
He looks like he just saw something that he’ll see for the rest of his life
The mothers of several of his victims did NOT want Bundy put to death. They contacted his mother to say that they were sorry, and explained that they were distressed to know that she would be feeling the same pain that they were living with.
Those women...they are REMARKABLE. That level of humanity is something we should all be inspired by.

No way, me neither
Do many states use the electric chair anymore? I don't think death by injection would bother me. By electric chair would probably shake me up for like.

look at the victims fotos, you will watch. it's called punishment...
@Dinetion no u wouldnt
His request to tell his family that he loved them should be seen as a comfort to his family, not him. His friends and relatives did not murder anyone, and Bundy never blamed his family for influencing his perverted sex drive.
I was 10 years old in '89. I remember watching people on the news talking about Bundy's execution and like a death countdown till he met ol sparky. People where cheering and genuinely happy when Bundy was executed. It was all over the radio too. I was young but I remember that day. I remember when Dahmer got busted too

Amy Rosenthal I remember that. It was just like any other news story. Not that much. Back then the hugest news story was the OJ Simpson case. That’s all anyone seemed to care about.
People like him .why we have the death penalty
Atleast he was scared going in, he felt what his victims felt knowing they were going to die, he had the feeling thats all that matters.
His denial of the situation was pierced... a guard said his knees buckled when he first glimpsed the chair. I hope in that moment he made a connection to the fear his victims felt, and understood his wrongdoing in a deeper way. That I would hope.
I’m torn on this. Revenge feels good, sure. But couldn’t we have learned more from this creature? Things that would help us understand and combat other manifestations of evil? This thing was like the devil. We should’ve kept it alive and studied it.

+Ersh Man It takes an idiot to know an idiot I guess.
No matter how evil someone is I think it would be hard to watch someone die just knowing theyre human.
And by no way am I saying Ted Bundy didnt deserve this he completely did.
Ted completely deserve it
I'm just glad that Ted is no longer with us, he had already proven that if he escaped,he was going to continue killing. My heart goes out to the kids that he murdered in a horrific way and to their families. God bless them.
I agree with that.
You damn right, the first time he escaped he was caught within days, and the second time that he escaped he killed 3 more people and injured several others. Now people need to take that into consideration
It's actually refreshing in this day to see someone hold back emotion and compassion about putting a man to death.
Compassion for a pedophile, serial killer? For a necrophile?
He started off very assured, positive that he was unaffected by it. Then you can see the enormity of it all hit him, hard and he struggled to hold himself together. He'd just watched a human being, if albeit a terrible one, be electrocuted to death....thats never an easy thing to see.

Wow this shows the vast difference between what someone says ( for what ever reason , I suspect politics )and how one truly feels I mean this guy has an obvious emotional reaction to witnessing the death of another human and that is a good thing , that is what separates normal people from the Ted Bundy's of the world . We KNOW no matter what we spout when talking about law and order that it is wrong to kill another human .
Amy Guthrie he doesn't seem upset at all. He's outside on a cold day that's why he's sniffling his nose.
Amy you are right - Ted's true punishment is that he never was or could ever be like us. There's us over here and a sick pervert in the chair.
Bundy! Human! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.
@MrHappyBollox I think it's almost an absolute necessity to kill people like Bundy, just because they'd never respect the rule of not killing someone else. It's wrong to kill another human, but if a human is out there killing other humans, then he just needs to be put down like a dog for everyone else's safety.
Weirdly, I don't think he was crying, and if he was it wasn't out of sadness for Bundy's death. I think he was thinking: "Yeah we killed Bundy today, but I wish we could have got him earlier because then we could have saved lives." He acknowledged that in a way, Bundy won many battles even though they may have won the war by killing him. I think he also had proud happy tears coming too. So it was a combination of being proud that Bundy was killed and welling up with emotion around that, and mourning the victims.
There are actually people who think he should get to live after what he did.
His victims deserved justice and this was it. Good thing he's not enjoying life, watching TV, reading and doing all the things his victims can't.
Yes they thought he should get to live like a caged animal for for rest of his life, including some of the victims families.
He should have lived. Death is not justifiable in anyway. His death does not bring back his victims. Death was an easy out for him. That's not punishment. Especially if he has HONESTLY made his peace with God then all they did was send him to eternity with Christ.
@@DECADESISTERS God isn't going to let him in heaven.
@@DECADESISTERS He was a manipulative psychopath. If he wasn't executed, he would have manipulated his way out. Or escaped, like he did before. Victims shouldn't have to live knowing that the killer could get out.
@@laragingerich1486 The likelihood no he wasn’t going to get out or manipulate himself out because he would’ve been put in a high risk cell block due to the severity of the crimes and escape and likely 23 hours a day in a cell with one hour outside.
Bundy rejected the plea deal which would have saved his life. He wanted to go on trial and to be in the limelight. So he got it!
However, all these people cheering and dancing before his execution were not normal either.
I think it was pretty normal, parents of murdered children alone can be expected to be excited when the killer is killed. As for the general public it seems like more of a mob mentality sort of thing to be jumping with joy over it. In their minds they probably aren't seeing another human dying, they're probably seeing it as justice.
bollocks !
I’d be out there having a whole twerk session. Fuck what you talking about.
Lina M that’s silly because NITHING WOULD HAVE SAVED HIS LIFE are you mad
ɴᴇᴄᴏʟᴇ 😂 😂
This is probably the most accurate account of Ted Bundy's execution process; however, Bundy's "composure" described by former FL Legislator Mackey was not stoicism but contentment that he was accompanied by others and everyone's attention was on him. Male narcissists and female borderlines/histrionics love the attention they receive, doesn't matter if people love 'em like disciples or hate their guts. Attention from other people entails a sense of control. When Bundy was in his solitary holding cell and getting shaved/prepped for the electric chair, the reality of the situation was apparent. This explains the rapid transition of emotions.
Doesn’t matter who it is, seeing something like this, will break you down no matter how hard you think u are. Him talking about this only made him relive
Agree!
Unless you are a psychopath that is.
He died without pain. His victims felt every pain imaginable. Fear, physical pain terror, horror.
Electrocution is incredibly painful.
John Smith I’m tempted to say good.
@@johnb8477 Hey, he deserved a lot worse.
How do you know that been electricuted to death is not painful. Lol
@@maxrocatansky5516 I heard that it scrambles your brain so much as the power is going through your body, you don't know what's going on. But I'm also pretty sure it wouldn't be painless. I mean, your scalp is burning lol.
In the short walk to the chair is when he came to the realization,it’s over. Everything he did filled his brain in those last few seconds.
I am against the death penalty, but, I felt ambiguous pleasure and sadness when I heard that he needed assistance to the chair - definitely more pleasure.
Ted had free will...he chose to kill and any punishment was acceptable....he didn't kill in self defense but premeditated acts.
@axelsmith I agree with you. There's a lot to be said when it comes to the manifest of brain matter. Namely the pre-frontal cortex of the brain. There's evidence on MRI's that show less gray matter in that specific area of the brain. That is where empathy etc. is felt. It sounds like to me that people like Bundy just don't have a chance to be normal because of this affliction. It's been said that a tumor in that area of the brain can remove empathy because it is pressing against it. This is just info I came across. There's also a segment on Netflix called, "What makes a Psychopath". Don't quote me on the exact title though! 😉
He killed for pleasure. And that’s why I would never consider someone like that human.
@Axel Smith That's because most people are brainless imbeciles and/or emotional infants - incapable of objectivity.
@@katylepetsos7512 Are you qualified to make that determination? I very much doubt it.
To affirm that Bundy simply killed for pleasure is a gross simplification. The main problem with you tube et al. is the number of armchair self-proclaimed experts claiming that they know without a shred of expertise.
If you are not one of those dimwits then you have no need to reply to this comment like a scolded infant. 😉
Many eyewitnesses were very shocked. Ted was shocked as well... The room was very tensed that day, you could feel the electricity in the air... Ted had a spark of hope he would escape the death sentence but he got other sparks instead...
The other eyewitnesses spoke to the press?How do you know if they were shocked?
Dora Jackson they described the whole event as electrifying...
@@vayenquist4969 Ι didn't know that.I think only 2 witnesses spoke to the press after Ted's execution.
"He got other Sparks instead" 😂💀
This guy will NEVER forget it though. I try to avoid seeing things that will somehow haunt me forever. I TRY.
There goes the white van in background..he escaped again
Criminals never get the same punishment they gave to the victims. It is always less.
"He needed assistance." 🤣 He brutally murdered many young women and one child (that we know of) but when it was his time to die, he was cowardly and afraid of the electric chair. His death was mild compared to what he did to his victims.
Don't you think Ted Bundy deserved something so much WORSE?? Ugh I'm so sad
Bundy had the opportunity to receive life in every state he committed all those horrendous acts. He chose to fight thinking he could create some kind of reasonable doubt.His attorney "John Henry Brown" is brilliant.Getting life for a guy like Ted Bundy is next to impossible. He really was his own worst enemy
For what it's worth, the man being interviewed here (Randy Mackey) was not a media reporter. Rather Mackey was the state legislator from the Lake City area of Florida. That was where the murder of Kimberly Leach occurred for which Bundy was executed that day in 1989.
Mackey later went to federal prison for 18 months for failing to report extra income he gained from a consulting relationship with a paving company.
Most of us would be lucky to die the way Bundy did. The way most people die in this world is horrific.
He says he didn’t feel too much about it, but his demeanour, his voice says quite something else. He looks on the verge of being too shaken to speak.
Thank you for this video.
The one that scares the shit out of me is being gassed electrocution is a close second but I would rather be electrocuted than gassed to death.
lethal injection is definitely the best one.
+Timothy Price I don't know about that, electrocution is instant, who knows, I tell you this I never wanna find out lol..
mike johnson
in theory what the lethal injection should be doing is putting you to sleep and then you just sort of just stop breathing and you heart stops beating. should be fairly peaceful.
+Timothy Price but its proven that Pancuroniumbromid e.g. is causing terrible pain- ppl report that it feels like burning. And for those who will come up, asking how ppl can tell, the medicament is also used for operations. PPl that where not intoxicated correct will most likely feel pain without a possibility to attract attention.
If i had the choice, id chose a bullet!
alaurel81
pancorium isn't the only drug in the injection, it also contains a fast acting barbiturate which unlike pancorium has a strong effect on consciousness i.e you should fall asleep and be unaware of any pain or the fact that you're dying
I’m against capital punishment, but I can’t bring myself to say it is unwarranted in this guys case and others who have done comparably terrible crimes.
The lord says in bible judge not.. I know no matter his crimes if he went to Jesus for his crimes he can be a saved soul resting until the lord returns. We are not God.. can’t love or forgive like our Saviour can.. I pray in those years he waited for his execution he found Christ. There’s no crime so horrid that cannot be forgiven except against the Holy Ghost.

+Jade Stitchman Wasn't as much of a charge (pun intended) as you thought it would be, eh? I cannot imagine someone liking the noise of the electric switch frying the body and then have to see the smoke coming from the fried prisoner's head. Even though it was Bundy being executed Yes, I am very much against the death penalty.
+Jade Stitchman i thought that too, he did seem affected by it at one point......... but though i think Bundy and others like him def deserve the death penalty, i do think the electric chair is barbaric........the lethal injection is far more humane and certainly far more so than he offered any of his victims!
You are spot on. Everything you said about this barbaric poisoning is exactly correct. The first drug, Sodium Pentothol is a sedative that puts the inmate to sleep. The second is Pancuronium Bromide which causes the lungs to collapse and renders him unable to show the horrible pain that causes is the worst. It's being locked into your body, with no way of reacting. Then the Potassium Chloride stops the heart, If they omitted the paralysing chemical and just used the PC, then it would have been painless. It's the medication used to put sick animals down and is a humane death. I have watched three of my cats die as this is being carried out and they actually do just fall asleep. It still hurt like hell to see them drift into oblivion and slowly get colder and colder, but give that their quality of life had taken a nosedive, it was the right thing to do.
I have been a very vocal opponent of the death penalty for years now. America is the only civilised country to hold onto this horror show and I don't see this ending anytime soon. California briefly outlawed capital punishment in 1972, but due to an aggressive campaign by right-wing idiots, it was re-instated in 1976. My country hasn't used this for well over a hundred years now and involved public hangings. This gruesome spectacle was deemed barbaric and cruel and it didn't make it into the twentieth century. I am so glad that people like you and me share the knowledge of the ugly side of strapping inmates down and injecting terrible poison into their veins. Hopefully, they will wake up and face the truth, instead of whining that this atrocity appears to be too easy.

CaptainRidley So to you then two wrongs make a right? Murder apply's to the innocent and the not innocent.
That's called self defence you had no choice but to shoot him as where putting a man in the electric chair and frying his brains out weather his a murderer or not is called pre planned murder.
To you then two wrongs make a right???
We could be here all day and night talking about this but all I'm saying is it's just wrong that the U.S law allow's a man if he is a murderer or not to be put in a electric chair and have his brains fried and I'm so happy in my country we stopped the death penalty in the 60's and we gave murderers life in jail from then on and by killing someone your just letting their soul go free.

He’s one of the people that make me believe in the death penalty. I live in Joliet IL. by Statesville Prison and saw the prison the night John Wayne Gacy got lethal injection. It looked like the last scene in Field Of Dreams, just lines of cars with their headlights on.
Ol smoky was to good for him !!!!
Human life is so precious. Rest in peace to the innocent ladies who lost their lives to this monster
@Nisa Gülal he’s the dumbest monster wdym?
as long as the killer dies, move on too next story...
Wow...a Real Human reporting what he seen in his own words...
Bundy went from the chair ,at the speed of electricity, straight to hell
when was this aired on Television?
"he lost his composure walking into the chamber". Ah yeah, wouldn't anyone feel SCARED as all get out?
Many accounts of executions show people being very composed, at peace even. Witnesses of medieval executions especially: a lot of those were done for religious reasons and the condemned genuinely believed that their souls were already one with God.
"Walkin the mile.. walking the mile"
how many of his victims begged for their lives.? all they wanted was to live.
I remember this very well, it was a near carnival atmosphere outside the gates where the crowd had gathered. There was signs and tee shirts, it was a wild scene of that I will never forget.
"Didn't affect me at all." Acts like it affected him quite a bit.
Still not understanding how Florida was the only state that had a hold over considering he committed crimes in various other states
Because They Hadn't Convicted Him On Those, He Confessed To Them All While On Death Row For The Murders He Was Convicted Of In Florida
+Dim Diolch Ted Bundy was also tried, convicted and sentenced to death for the 1978 murders of Lisa Levy and Margaret Bowman inside their Chi Omega sorority house at Florida State. He was executed for the crime against Kimberly Leach.
Because they convicted him of murder. He was convicted of kidnapping and imprisoned at the Utah State Prison, the same place as Gary Gilmore. However, they let him go to Colorado to face murder charges for the woman from Michigan. It was from there that he escapec and made his way to Fkorida. The irony is that had Bundy faced the music in Utah or Colorado he may still be alive today and, perhaps a media darling.
Theres no humane way to die🤷🏾♂️
A heart attack is the most humane way for someone to die, especially in your sleep.
Rajim - Oh, I don't know about that. Surrounded by family and friends, and drifting off is humane as far as I can see.
0:39 "He needed assistance." LOL a lovely euphemism for "He had to be dragged along the corridor by six heavy guards and you can still see his fingernail marks along the walls".
If they hadn't stuffed him full of cotton and put a diaper on him,I'm pretty sure you would've also seen twin trails of urine and feces marking his path as he walked by.
@@proud2bpagan bruh all electrochair executions require diapers
From his answers, Mackey appears to have enjoyed watching the execution.
Yeah. Agree with you.
Even if Ted Bundy was the worst human on earth, this man is still creepy. He smiled while describing an execution. Thats really really creepy.
flyingvigil How is this man creepy? He's describing the execution of a monster who murdered more than 35 innocent women (his last murder being a 12 year old girl) and enjoyed every second of the rape/murders. Hell if I was a witness to the execution I'd bring popcorn and soda and enjoy watching one of the worst human beings in history get electrocuted and sent straight to hell where he belongs
Bundy was certainly a monster, but monster or not, actually witnessing an execution shouldn't provoke joy. Justice being served is a serious matter.
Shahrzad Gilani I agree justice is a serious manner. But I bet if you witnessed for yourself first hand what Bundy did to those innocent victims (bludgeoned, raped, dismembered, murdered) you'd have a smile on your face too watching Bundy die
ProgRockKing
1) If somehow I did witness all those murders, I would be severely traumatized and witnessing Bundy's execution wouldn't give anyone any relief because nothing could undo what he did.
2) This man didn't witness any murders. He came to Bundy's execution. It IS creepy to enjoy seeing an execution being carried out.
Imo, they should have stuck him in an asylum for the criminally insane, with security watching over him at all times. His mind should have been studied. Killing him did not make those girls come back.
No he got the right punishment.
Consider it time off for good behavior.
Execution, is actually the easy way out for ted, the most painless by a long shot. Locking someone in a mental institution indefinetly, is absolute torture, and way more fitting for bundy in my opinion. Get him four walls, all padded, 23 hour lockdown, now that is real pain.
It's a little thing called justice.
Jamesharay Ray right...because in death you can't be sure he's suffering punishment if you beleive in hell then maybe so but it depends on your religion i guess. but however based on accounts it seems he may be an earthbound spirit and that is punishment enough if he can never make it to heaven he will be forever trapped in the prison where he died because people have claimed to see his spectre. so he is suffering damnation if these accounts are true cause i know people lie about ghosts.
He ain't emotionally shaken, he's just physically shaken. It was cold outside. Don't worry guys, he probably had wet dreams about it for many years following.
You're weird buddy
@@reallyhappenings5597 Aww, thanks bud 😂
What I find appaling was Florida's ravenous appetite for executions back at that time period. Everything from their law for murder, the glamorization of the electric chair by several state attorneys general, the defiance of Federal Court rulings, the tasteless disc jockey takes around the state at electrocutions and death penalty convictions, and on and on. It is no surprise that Florida leads the nation in the number of innocent persons released from death row since capital punishment's reinstatement in 1976. There was a bestial mentality there. Heck, even Bundy's Lake City prosecutor admitted to shamefully enjoyind the electrocution.
Bloodthirsty Florida Rednecks
My last meal request would be a few Xanax bars and a strawberry açaí refresher from Starbucks to wash them down.
"He needed assistance" 😂🤣🤣 Good! 👍
The death penalty makes us a more civilized society , no doubt about it. The way it is administered at present is what is uncivilised. Us British had the best process, the third Sunday after sentencing and after clemency has been denied they were visited in their cell by a master executioner named Albert Pierrepoint who would hang them by the neck until dead and which was remarkably quick. The way Pierrepoint went about his work was the most authorative , proficient yet humane way to do it. The offender was made to psychologically recognise the gravity of their crime but the sentence was carried out quickly, the quickest of any form of execution , and without fuss and at less cost to the public. With today's modern methods of DNA evidence and other ways to guarentee guilt it should be brought back in special circumstance like this within the UK. We can not tolerate these individuals and doing so without quickly despatching of them only poisons our society . Do things like what Bundy did and there should only be one outcome for you, the rope and done with schnell !!!
Nice god save the queen and bless our father George do god help us
Must be so traumatic to witness something like that . It's really going to his same level .
You can tell it bothers him. I think he was grateful it was over, and was probably thinking about all the victims, and what they went through.
"deserved" doesn't matter. It is hard to see any human being killed by other human beings - justified or not.
anyone saying this guy is a sociopath obviously has 0 idea what a sociopath is. this guys job was to document the event! he did his job! plus you had see his mouth arching down and his sniffling and blinking he's trying not to cry. it's traumatic to watch someone die he was just trying to be professional.
Dude, the sniffling was due to the morning weather. It is cold. My nose runs in the morning, usually due to the cold weather or allergy of pollen. This speaker's eyes revealed that he wasted no pity for a creep who murdered viciously. I don't blame him. In my opinion.
LOL that awkward moment waiting for that next question..
He escaped TWICE after being caught. When they already knew what he'd done. The idea that "life without parole" guarantees no more victims is absurd.
He escaped jail. Big difference bet. a jail and a prison, esp. a max security where they know you're an escape risk. The death penalty is wrong.
