Problem
1. Do you believe that a person's sobriety and or mental condition at the time they committed their alleged crime should be considered a mitigating circumstance?
2. What was your opinion of the public defender's role in representing condemned prisoners before viewing this video (countdown to execution), has it changed, and why?
3. What role did the political climate in Indiana play in deciding Darnell's fate?
4. What was the final decision of the Parole Board regarding clemency and why do you believe they came up with that decision?
5. What was your impression of the relationship between the attorney Juliette and Darnell and his family? Was it too personal to be professional or was the attorney displaying the right amount of advocacy?
