To mark the 7th World Congress against the Death Penalty The United Nations and ECPM present: ‘Lindy Lou, Juror Number 2’
For 20 years, Lindy has lived with an unbearable feeling of guilt. Committed to fulfilling her civic duty, Lindy sat with 11 other people on a jury that handed down the death penalty to a Mississippi man convicted of a double homicide. An overwhelming feeling of regret compels Lindy to track down her fellow jurors. A conservative, religious woman from the South, she manages to tackle this topic with humour, an open mind and sincere curiosity.
