Death notices APPRECIATION Ba ri st a br in gs coffee to police, fire departments nominate for the showcase and Long's film is one of 10 screening on Friday. "I'm really excited to show my school a little piece of my hometown on the big screen," Long said. "I've worked on a lot of films that have screened in New York and other places, but this is the first film I've di- rected and shot that is be- ing screened. The screen- ing will be even more spe- cial because it showcases people and places I care so much about." Long's interest in film and television started in second grade when she found herself fascinated with the television shows she watched and character movement, she said. "I remember watching television growing up and couldn't figure out how the characters were able to move from different loca- tions, scene to scene," Long said. "I think figuring out how characters moved in a space and how their move- ment propelled the story is what peaked my interest." Long's film wasn't shot with the intention of turn- ing it into a documentary, but for the fun of it as a memory for her family and neighbors. "Butch and Karen Thomas, my neighbors in Corning, told me they planned on taking my sib- lings and their grandson frog hunting," Long said. "They planned on butcher- ing the frogs the day after. I didn't have any lights, so documenting the frog hunt- ing at night wasn't possible. The day after frog hunting, I decided to bring my cam- era and film the butchering process." It wasn't until halfway through her spring semes- ter at New York Univer- sity where she is a junior in the Film and Television program, that she realized she could use the footage for her final documentary project. Long had edited the film earlier in the spring, but made a few tweaks and turned it in. "Showing this film to my class was one of the best moments I've experienced at NYU," Long said. "'Frogs are Friends, and Not Food' is pretty graphic; about four people walked out of class because they couldn't han- dle the gore. It was great. My professor, Christine Choy, invited me to a frog leg din- ner after she saw the film." Long, the daughter of Greg and Shanna Long, is in the process of intern- ing at an independent film production company, Killer Films. Her film and photo work can be seen at www. remingtonlongmedia.com. While Long is not sure what area of the film and television she wants to go into, she says she has it nar- rowed down to producing, directing, writing and cin- ematography. She has been getting experience doing professional camera work, but is in the process of writ- ing a feature documentary and has almost finished a narrative feature film. A 2014 graduate of Pleas- ant Valley High School, Long chose New York Uni- versity because of its high- ranking film program and the strong alumni network. During her time at the school, she has had three Oscar nominees as profes- sors, which she says has been amazing. Film FROM PAGE 1 JULIE ZEEB — DAILY NEWS RedBluffPoliceCpl.HeidiThomasandRecordsSpe- cialist Jessica Hoehman accept coffee from a Red Bluff Starbucks barista in appreciation of the department's personnel serving the community. While the first barista was there, a second Starbucks group came with more coffee for the Red Bluff Fire Department. "This crime was cold and calculated. He did it deliberately — and he's not sorry," Erbert said. So he and other sup- porters of capital punish- ment are seeking a no vote on Proposition 62, which would abolish the death penalty in California, and a yes vote on Proposition 66, which would keep the death penalty and aims to speed up an appeals pro- cess that often drags on for decades. Opponents of capital punishment call Proposi- tion 66's vision of faster, more efficient appeals a fantasy and warn that the measure could cost the state tens of millions of dollars a year to imple- ment if voters endorse it. That's why they are seek- ing a yes vote on Proposi- tion 62, which would make life without the possibility of parole the maximum penalty for murder. If both measures pass, the one with the most yes votes will supersede the other. A Field-IGS Poll released last week showed that 48 percent of likely voters plan to support Proposi- tion 62, while 42 percent are unsure how they'll vote on Proposition 66. Killersconflicted Several killers inter- viewed by this news orga- nization on a recent, rare tour of death row say they feel conflicted, too. "I know I'll get my case overturnedeventually,"said Dennis, who spoke through achainlinkfencesurround- ing a rooftop exercise yard at the Marin County prison overlooking San Francisco Bay. "But if I had a choice betweendyingtomorrowor spending 30 more years in prison, I would pick death tomorrow." Virtually no one is argu- ing that California's cur- rent system for capital punishment is working ef- ficiently. Since California voters revived the death penalty in 1978, only 15 people have been executed — none since 2006, when U.S. District Judge Jeremy Fogel in San Jose forced the state to halt lethal injec- tions over concerns that it violated the constitutional ban on cruel and unusual punishment. That means death row inmates are far more likely to die in prison from ill- ness,suicideoroldagethan they are to be executed by the state. Of the 930 indi- viduals sentenced to death over the last four decades, 104 died behind bars and 64 had their sentences re- duced by the courts. That leaves747inmatesondeath row waiting for execution or exoneration. "A well-working system would bring justice, how- ever you define it, much sooner," said Robert Weis- berg, a Stanford Law School professor who co-di- rects the university's Crim- inal Justice Center. The current situation Proponents of Proposi- tion 66 — many of them po- lice officers, prison guards and district attorneys — identify the "endless, frivo- lous appeals" sought by the condemned as the source of the problem. Weisberg, however, says the complex- ity of the law, coupled with too little funding for public defenders, is to blame. Once the death penalty is imposed by a jury, the state Supreme Court must review the verdict. It often takes the state three to five years to appoint an attor- ney to represent the inmate because of a lack of fund- ing for these attorneys and the low pay they receive. And before those appoint- ments are made, nothing happens. After an attorney has agreed to take the case, he or she must research the re- cord, starting with a trial transcript that is 9,000 pages long on average, pre- pare a legal brief on the in- mate's behalf, and submit it to the court. This step takes about four years, and it could be another three years before the court is- sues its ruling. If the Supreme Court up- holds the verdict and the sentence, the condemned inmate may contest it on different grounds. Then the inmate may seek relief at the federal level. From start to finish, the appeals odyssey can take a quarter- century or more — and that drives inmates and their victims' families mad. "Let me go home or kill me already," said Joseph Perez, 45, who was con- victed in 2002 of robbing and murdering a Lafayette mother. "I don't want life without (the possibility of parole). I don't want to be an old, decrepit man walk- ingtheprisonyard.Myonly fear is dying in prison." The proposed fix Proponents of Propo- sition 66 say the measure would accelerate the ap- peals process by requiring more public defenders to accept death penalty cases and by requiring state courts to issue decisions on the cases within five years. Resolving these cases more quickly would eventually lead to cost savings, sup- porters of the measure say. But the nonpartisan Legislative Analyst's Of- fice notes in its analysis of the initiative that the near- term costs of expediting appeals could be substan- tial, as high as tens of mil- lions of dollars annually for many years. Opponents call it a "costly experiment" since the measure doesn't identify a source of funding for the expedited system. Charles Erbert and his daughter, Deanna Scott, say costs shouldn't be a fac- tor in the debate over cap- ital punishment. They say voters should simply ask themselves if execution is what men like Dennis and Perez deserve. "I can forgive, but I can't forget, and I do think that he should get the death penalty," said Scott, 36, who moved to Red Bluff with her father shortly af- ter the attack. "I had to grow up without a mom — and a brother." If voters endorse Prop- osition 62 and abolish the death penalty, Scott vowed to do "anything in my power to switch it back around." Dennis told reporters he is appealing his death sentence because he be- lieves he should have been charged with manslaugh- ter, not first-degree mur- der. He said he was blinded by grief over the drowning death of his 4-year-old son when he killed his ex-wife. "I lost a son, and I have to live every day with that knowledge," Dennis said. "I want a new trial. If peo- ple knew what I'd been through, the verdict would have been different."
