Geraldo - From Prison: Young Devil Worshipers (August 13th 1989) - theVHSfiles

Geraldo - From Prison: Young Devil Worshipers originally aired on August 13th, 1989, and features an interview with two convicted murderers, Pete Roland and Sean Sellers, who claim their crimes were committed in the name of Satan. Hosted by the well-known talk show personality Geraldo Rivera, this episode is part of his ongoing exploration into controversial and sensational topics that marked his career in television journalism. Rivera became a household name for his confrontational and often sensationalist style, especially in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Sean Sellers, one of the interviewees, was convicted for the murder of his parents and a convenience store clerk. He was the youngest person in the U.S. to be executed at the time for crimes committed at 16, with claims that his actions were motivated by Satanism. Pete Roland was also a teenager when he committed murder, similarly claiming influence from Satanic beliefs.

Unfortunately, the middle portion of this episode was damaged on the tape and could not be restored, but the remaining footage captures a chilling moment in 1980s television history, exploring the dark side of youth crime and its alleged connection to Satanic cults.

Digitized from VHS, this recording preserves an infamous moment in daytime television that captivated and shocked audiences.
