A man, wrongfully imprisoned can be released, the years taken from him cannot be given back but his life can. A man, wrongfully executed is lost to the world.
This I believe and this is why I never advocate the death penalty. There are a great many things that make me angry and there are a great many injustices in this world. Man is flawed. Man is not omniscient. Man can never know all there is to know and ultimately the one truth that brings is that Man can be and has been wrong.
The Movie the Green Mile is set on death row where a Guard named Paul met a remarkable prisoner names John. The Movie is emotional and tells John's story and Paul's doubt. In the end Paul follows through and plays executioner ending John's life. This vastly oversimplified summary does not do this Movie justice. There are many things in this Stephen King story that provoke deep thought and questions about the nature of Humanity.
On a solemn note I attach the trailer to this Movie and simply ask that if you have not seen this Movie before that you make every effort to watch it
