Let's say that you were a murderer and you were convicted of murder, and you're sent to death row.

Condemned man's dinner. Chicken, peas, watermelon.

I ain't going back to death row.

The only country in the world.

Nobody's expecting me anyplace. ( sniffles )

I escaped from Fox River Penitentiary because I was sentenced to death for a crime I did not commit.

My client Will and 80 percent of the people on death row had five chapters in their lives that came before the four chapters of the death penalty story.

Destination death row, state prison.

He'd say she had it even if she hasn't.

Wish I had the chance one of those 242 nights

Death penalty in America is defined by error.

So, here was this 14 year old kid on death row.

First of all, we have all the statistical analyses from the Innocence Project work, where we know that we have, what, 250, 280 documented cases now where people have been wrongfully convicted and subsequently exonerated, some from death row, on the basis of later DNA analysis, and you know that over three quarters of all of those cases of exoneration involved only eyewitness identification testimony during the trial that convicted them.

Think about that. Look, why go on with this, huh?

I received my next assignment, and that was to go to the prisons to harvest organs from executed prisoners.

I was really worried.

According to today's morning paper, the condemned criminal committed suicide.

Now I worked with dying people for over 40 years.

! It doesn't matter if they're criminals or on death row. Killing them is still murder.

Death.

What's happened is that lawyers who represent death row inmates have shifted their focus to earlier and earlier chapters of the death penalty story.

Capital offence!

Warrants the death penalty.

( mellow theme playing )

(Laughter)

Falsely convicted for the murder of his wife.

A prisoner at Plötzensee... just before dashing his head against the wall... said, Now!

But that fourth chapter always ends with an execution.

They'll send you to the chair.

It is the decision of the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures that the hippogriff known as Buckbeak hereinafter called the condemned, shall be executed this day at sundown.

The problem is that there were way more guys on death row than there were lawyers who had both the interest and the expertise to work on these cases.

The prisoner died under torture.

We have to say, all right.

I would have no problem with the death penalty.

It's the same wherever you try and escape everywhere is a death row, and everyone's a victim.

And the reason for that is that 80 percent of the people on death row are people who came from the same sort of dysfunctional family that Will did.

The prisoner was behind bars for two months.

The prisoner dug a hole under the prison wall.

An innocent victim of blind justice, falsely convicted for the murder of his wife.
