Bill Moyers: "But there is the question of a crime and of justice as some people see it. "
Thomas Cahill: "The crime is secondary. There are no millionaires on death row nor will there ever be. Almost everyone on death row is poor. And do you really think that no millionaire ever committed a capital crime? "
Bill Moyers: "So what are you saying? "
Thomas Cahill: "I'm saying that there are certain people in our society that we are willing to offer up. And not others. And they're the people who have no power. We're not killing Dominique Green because he committed murder. We're killing Dominique Green because we want to kill somebody."
