Kennedy is a former high school English teacher, who studied the United States criminal justice system for several years and the particular case of a young African-American male sentenced to die in 1961. Interviews ranged from those of a former Pennsylvania Commissioner of Prisons, a journalist who witnessed the execution of a convict in Pennsylvania’s electric chair,lawyers and federal judges to family members, inmates, and even a U.S. marine drill sergeant.
