Jon Gosselin Interview

Jon Gosselin Interview, Jon Gosselin says he was “abused” and “beaten down” during his marriage that has been infamously taped over the past four years by Discovery Health and TLC under the guise of a family dealing with a new set of sextuplets.

“I despise her,” he said in an interview with ABC News’ Chris Cuomo for ‘Good Morning America,’ Gosselin tells of a torn marriage that collapsed while under his wife Kate’s control.

“In 10 years, I’ve never gone out – when she said, ‘I don’t want you going out,’ I used to say, ‘OK, I’m not going to go out.’ I was very passive. This is the first time I said, ‘You know what? I want to see my friends. I’m going out,’” Jon said. “That was the first time in my life I ever stood up to Kate. I just felt like I had to take back some time in my life, and I did it. And I felt really good. I made my own decision. I was beaten down for so long, I couldn’t even make my own decision. And when I did, I was like, holy cow! You know? Yeah, what’s she gonna do? Divorce me? All right. Obviously. You know.”

Jon, 32, wants the world to know that he tried therapy to make things work between the two, but Kate, 34, was not willing to go.

“If she’s not going to therapy, she’s not going to fix herself, then it’s not going to work. It takes two people,” he says. “I have a $22,000 therapy bill. I mean, I tried to have marriage counseling. I did it myself. She refused to go.”

Jon also feels that he now knows what mistakes he’s made, why the marriage fell apart and just what he needs to do for his eight children.

Remember them?

“I felt maybe I was too passive. Maybe I didn’t stand my ground 10 years ago – even to stick up for my kids, Jon said. But it’s gone. I can’t get that back.”

Some will say that Jon’s actions speak for themselves as his post-Kate gallivanting has been well-documented recently.

“I just want to let the world know that I’m a real person with feelings,” he says. “OK, I’ve made mistakes. Maybe it wasn’t the best idea to go out to the clubs. But we all learn from mistakes, except mine are public.”

Finally, Jon pleads to Kate for her to tell the world the “true” story.

“She knows the truth,” he says. “I wish to God, she would speak from emotions…She’s not speaking from the heart. Please – the stuff you tell me in private should be the stuff you tell me on TV.”

Jason Getsy, Troy Davis Case

Jason Getsy, Ohio has executed the triggerman in a 1995 murder-for-hire scheme that killed a 66-year-old woman and severely injured her son.

Thirty-three-year-old Jason Getsy was pronounced dead at 10:29 a.m. Tuesday in the death chamber at the Southern Ohio Correctional Institution in Lucasville.

Getsy was sentenced to die for fatally shooting Ann Serafino in a crime that targeted her son, Charles Serafino, in a dispute over a lawn care business.

Charles Serafino was shot seven times but survived and witnessed Getsy’s execution Tuesday.

LUCASVILLE, Ohio (AP) — The triggerman in an Ohio murder-for-hire scheme that killed a 66-year-old woman and critically wounded her son was awaiting execution Tuesday after the U.S. Supreme Court denied his final appeal.

Jason Getsy, 33, was scheduled to die by lethal injection at 10 a.m. at the Southern Ohio Correctional Institution in Lucasville.

Getsy fatally shot Ann Serafino in her home in Hubbard, near Youngstown, on July 7, 1995. Her son, Charles Serafino, was the intended victim.

John Santine, who orchestrated the crime, was in a dispute over ownership of a landscaping business with Charles Serafino and offered Getsy $5,000 to kill him and any witnesses to the crime. Santine was convicted of aggravated murder.

Prosecutors said Charles Serafino was lying wounded on the floor when Getsy struck his mother in the head with a revolver, opening a 4-inch gash, and then shot her twice.

Charles Serafino, who was shot seven times, survived the attack and pressed for Getsy’s execution.

“It’s not going to change my life. But it’s justice for my mother, and that’s what she deserves,” said Serafino, who planned to witness Tuesday’s execution.

Getsy spent Monday night writing letters — he asked for 15 stamped envelopes — making phone calls and reading the Bible. He ate part of his last meal, including rib-eye steak, barbecued buffalo wings and onion rings.

He slept from 2:22 a.m. to 5:32 a.m., got up and took a shower, then began seeing visitors again Tuesday morning, said prisons spokeswoman Julie Walburn.

His visitors included his grandmother, an aunt and uncle, a step-aunt, his spiritual adviser and his two attorneys.

Getsy declined breakfast. He has remained upbeat and positive, Walburn said.

Getsy, who dropped out of school in the 12th grade, never met his father and was raised by his mother and stepfather. In 1992, he was convicted of negligent homicide in the death of a 14-year-old companion who died playing Russian roulette.

The Ohio Parole Board by a 5-2 vote last month recommended clemency for Getsy because other defendants in the slaying, including Santine, appeared just as guilty but weren’t sentenced to die. Gov. Ted Strickland overruled the board last week, saying the sentencing disparity did not by itself justify granting clemency.

Appeals courts previously have questioned Getsy’s sentence. A three-judge panel of the 6th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals overturned his sentence in 2006, saying it was arbitrary. The full 6th Circuit reinstated it in 2007 in an 8-6 ruling.

The Ohio Supreme Court also noted the sentencing differences in a 1998 ruling but said that was not enough to spare Getsy.

The U.S. Supreme Court late Monday denied Getsy’s request for a stay of execution. His lawyers had said they wanted challenge Ohio’s lethal injection system as unconstitutionally cruel.
