A&E's "The First 48" portrays Birmingham's Martez Seay as cold-blooded killer

Birmingham, Al.
The reality crime show The First 48 has turned its spotlight on Birmingham's Martez Seay and finds him a cold-blooded killer, according its latest edition. It was shown Thursday on the A&E cable channel and the episode was called "Loose Ends".

Martez Seay
Seay is currently serving a life without parole sentence in Alabama's prison system after agreeing to a plea bargain deal that allowed him to avoid the death penalty. He admitted to roles in five homicides, plus one in the attempted slaying of his girlfriend Kandi Hawkins who was left paralyzed.
The First 48 shows depend on the help of law enforcement, and police and prosecutors usually appear in a favorable light. In this latest case, a full hour on Seay, shows Birmingham detectives and Jefferson County prosecutors as a driven and dedicated group. Seay with his friends and family are presented as a chilling group.
And it's hard to be sympathetic with Seay when his own defense lawyer acknowledges on video that his client made chilling comments in private that raised the hairs on the back of the lawyer's neck.
