Brooks had pushed for legislation allowing crime victims to witness executions, and now he and Leslie were watching Steven Hatch, one of their parents' killers, die by lethal injection. As poison flooded Hatch's veins, Brooks and Leslie re-lived their parents' deaths. Brooks describes it as a healing experience. When Hatch died after seven minutes, Brooks says, "I was happy...
