A life or death decision P1 - John Merritt

John Merritt has been behind bars for longer than I’ve been alive. Like many of the men and women we speak to, John’s early life was marked by run-ins with the law—mostly for petty, non-violent offences.

He became trapped in a cycle, moving in and out of the system. One day everything took an even darker turn while he was serving a sentence for burglary.

A visit from a sheriff's investigator would change the course of his life forever, setting him on an unexpected and terrifying path toward the death penalty for a crime, he says, he didn't commit.

Ultimately John would have to make a decision, a life of incarceration or the electric chair.
