Death Penalty Decision Remorse
Midday on WNYC | Jul 13, 2018
Lindy Lou Isonhood discusses the story behind the documentary for which she is the subject, Lindy Lou, Juror Number 2, which premieres on July 16 on PBS at 10 pm. For 20 years, Lindy Isonhood has lived with an unbearable feeling of guilt -- she sat on a jury that handed down the death penalty to a Mississippi man convicted of a double homicide. When Bobby Wilcher was executed in 2006, Lindy had been his only visitor in 15 years. The film charts her journey of tracking down her fellow jurors and of coming to terms with her own role in Wilcher’s life trajectory.
This segment is guest hosted by Arun Venugopal.
