The Death Penalty from the Other Side
A friend of mine from back in my high school days, Marty Stroud gives a frank, honest interview about his role as a prosecutor in a 1983 death penalty case. The case was overturned in 2014, and the defendant, Glenn Ford, was released. Ironically, he suffers from untreated stage 4 cancer, so his freedom will be relatively short-lived. Marty's interview is moving and thought provoking, regardless of your views on the death penalty. The video is about 6 minutes - worth a look if you have a few minutes to spare...
