True Crime Page #6

real newspapermen get to read?

Well, Dale Porterhouse:

"No, I couldn't have heard the shots.

The windows were rolled up and I had

the radio and air conditioner on.

That's probably why

the car overheated."

Close quote.

That's another wild hunch

down the drain.

My condolences.

No great loss.

Look, anybody calls...

...I'm at the zoo.

Me too.

Good morning, Frank.

I thought maybe...

...if there's anything

I can do for you...

...anything you'd like

to talk about...

...I want you to know I'm here,

I'm available.

I understand

you read the Bible.

That's right, isn't it, Frank?

But, you know...

...just reading the Bible

isn't enough, is it?

No.

Man can't go to his Maker with

the sins of his soul unrepented of.

With the hurt he's caused

folks just, you know...

...unrepented of.

A lot of folks would feel

better to hear...

...you were remorseful

for the pain you caused them.

You could do a lot of good

with those words.

I don't have anything to tell you.

Reverend Shillerman...

...I want you to leave.

I have my own pastor coming later.

I don't need to tell you...

...there will come a time,

and I'm afraid it's not far off...

Reedy!

...when you'll wish you'd made

a different decision.

But it will be too late.

What can I get you?

Get this damn fool out of my face!

Call himself a man of God.

Reverend Shillerman!

Reverend Sh*t-For-Brains.

Now, Frank...

...I wouldn't want to

be strapped to that table...

...with the wrongs

I've committed unrepented of.

When they stick that needle

in your arm...

...feel your blood run to ice!

Reverend, that's enough!

Get him out of here!

I feel sorry for you, Frank.

I'm sorry too. Believe me.

I mean it.

We don't want no trouble.

All right.

I just felt it's my job.

It might be upsetting...

Everyone wants in on the action,

right, Frank?

Twelve hours from now,

convicted killer Frank Beechum...

... will be executed

by lethal injection.

He was convicted six years ago...

... of the brutal slaying of 20-year-old

Amy Wilson and her unborn child...

... at Pocum 's Grocery in the

Richmond section of the county.

Wilson, who was six months pregnant...

... was working

when Beechum shot her...

... during an argument over $96

she owed him and was unable to pay.

Now the weather:

Morning low clouds

with some afternoon clearing.

Help you?

Yeah, I'm a reporter

from the Oakland Tribune.

Isn't this where

Amy Wilson was killed?

It sure is.

She was right behind

this same counter.

Almost six years ago exactly.

Mr. Pocum says...

...the needle's too good for him.

For Beechum.

They ought to bring back the chair.

That's what I say.

Really let him have

a jolt of something.
