Synopsis
Pickett presided over 95 executions in his 15-year career, including the very first by lethal injection. He kept his feelings about his work from his family, instead audiotaping an account of each one. Initially pro-execution, he became an anti-death penalty activist.
Pickett was most affected by the execution of Carlos DeLuna in 1989. He firmly believed in DeLuna's innocence. In 2006, Chicago Tribune reporters Maurice Possley and Steve Mills published a detailed investigation suggesting that another man, Carlos Hernández, had committed the crime for which DeLuna was executed,[3] and the film recounts the evidence brought forth in that investigation.
