Just another example why the death penalty needs to be abolished in all states. Here is a startling statistic for you "For every 9 people who have been executed in the U.S., one person on death row has been proven innocent and released, a shocking rate of error."

It has Sam Rockwell in it so I Love it... But it also has Jennifer Garner in it so I hate it....

An engaging movie throughout. And an eye-opener for me: half way through the film all the evidence had been gathered, then still the other half of the story was yet to unfold.
