Episode Details

Ohio’s governor flips his stance on the death penalty, now calling it ineffective after overseeing 56 executions since reinstating it in 1981 — none under his watch since 2019. His move sparks fierce debate: some, like exoneree Derrick Jamison’s supporter Sue Prieshoff, see it as justice and relief; others, including grieving father Robert Garrett, argue it’s vital for closure. Amy Evers, who lost her brother to violence, walks a personal tightrope — not seeking retribution herself but championing those who do. With 106 souls still on death row and 12 exonerated, Ohio braces for its next execution — scheduled for January 2027, just as the governor steps down.
