Kim Kardashian devastated as Brandon Bernard execution leaves her ‘messed up’

Kim Kardashian has shared her heartache after her pleas for Brandon Bernard to be spared execution ultimately failed.

There were also objections by some of the jurors in his trial who pleaded with the Trump administration to show mercy, the federal Bureau of Prisons said but it was all in vain.

Bernard was 18 when he was convicted in 2000 along with an accomplice, Christopher Vialva, of carjacking and murdering Todd and Stacie Bagley, married Christian youth ministers from Iowa, on the Fort Hood army base in Texas.

The 40-year-old Keeping Up With The Kardashians star has been speaking out about reforming the justice system and had been bombarding President Trump with tweets asking for him to step him.

She has now taken to Twitter to share her hurt and upset that the ruling was not overturned.

Kim wrote: "I’m so messed up right now. They killed Brandon. He was such a reformed person. So hopeful and positive until the end. More importantly he is sorry, so sorry for the hurt and pain he has caused others.

"As he was in the chair his attorney called me and they just had their last call and said this... Brandon said he loves you and wants to say thank you again He said he doesn’t feel too claustrophobic in the chair."

She continued by tweeting: "Brandon wanted me to tell every single person who worked on his behalf supporting him in any way a huge thank you. He was certain he was gonna have the chance to tell you all himself and write you all letters but he told me to tell you all how grateful he is for you!

"His main message that he learned in his life was to not hang out with the wrong crowd. That was so important to him that he shared that with the youth. It got him caught up and he made poor choices."

Kim shared a number of tweets with her followers, as she declared the reform system to be "f***ed up" in the United States.

She added: "The most important thing to him that he said was a gift to his mom, sister, daughters and family was the validation the public support gave to his family. His family knew him inside and knew he wasn’t his mistake he made as a teenager but he was sad his family felt shame.

"We would talk about music a lot and how he’s gotten into classical music lately to soothe his soul. He’s a master at crochet amd would laugh that if someone just saw his cell they would think it was a grandmas cell.

"I could go on and on about what an amazing person Brandon was. I do know he left this earth feeling supported and loved and at peace. This just has to change: our system is so f***ed up."

At the time of the crime, Bernard was 18 years old. Vialvakidnapped and shot the couple at close range as they lay inside the trunk of the car. Afterwards, Bernard set the car on fire.

The Justice Department executed Vialva on September 24.

A media witness quoted Bernard as saying "I'm sorry,"shortly before the execution. "That's the only words that I can say that completely capture how I feel now and how I felt that day."

Five jurors from the trial of the two men had backedBernard's clemency petition, saying his lawyers did a poor job defending him at trial.

Though they still agree that both Bernard and Vialva were guilty, they said Bernard did not seem to have intended to kill the Bagleys.

Attorneys for Bernard say that through their own investigation, they discovered prosecutors withheld crucial information that could have proven Bernard was a low-level member of a youth gang, making him less of a threat in the future to re-offend.
