Kim Kardashian West had a tearful phone call with Brandon Bernard hours before he was executed Thursday and admitted that his death left her devastated.
The 40-year-old star had been involved in a campaign to convince President Donald Trump to commute the sentence of the man, who had been on death row for 20 years, but the appeal failed and his death sentence by lethal injection was carried. that night.
Earlier in the day, Kim, who is preparing to become a lawyer, spoke with Brandon on what she said was the “most difficult decision” she had ever been a part of.
She said: “I just spoke to Brandon for what will probably be the last time. The hardest call I have ever had. Brandon, selfless as ever, focused on his family and made sure they were okay. He told me not to cry because our fight is not over. “
The “Keeping Up With the Kardashians” star admitted she “lost it” and had to silence the conversation due to her uncontrollable tears.
She added: “When he told me he’s claustrophobic and they offered to give him a sedative injection to calm him down before they put him in the chair and he just didn’t want to panic, I literally lost him. I had to silence my phone so he wouldn’t. hear me cry like this.
“We didn’t say goodbye because we wanted to hope to speak again, we said we will speak soon!”
After the execution took place, Kim admitted that she felt “messed up.”
She wrote, “I’m so broke right now. They killed Brandon. He was such a reformed person.”
“So hopeful and positive until the end. Most importantly, he is very sorry for the pain and pain he has caused to others.
“With the support of the public, he felt the shame could disappear and confirmed to his family that the world also knew that he was better than his teenage self.
“We talk a lot about music and how he has gotten into classical music lately to calm his soul. He is a master at crochet and would laugh that if someone saw his cell phone they would think it was a grandmother’s cell.”
Brandon and an accomplice, Christopher Vialva, who was executed in September, were found guilty of stealing a car and murdering a married couple in 2000.
Last month, his legal team requested clemency, and five of the nine surviving jurors from the trial indicated that they supported or did not oppose commuting his sentence to life in prison without the possibility of parole, citing their age at the time of the crimes, presumably. new evidence and poor legal representation in the past, but the offer fell through.
