[NEohioPAL] Review of The Exonerated @The Beck

[Laura Kennelly]

*The Exonerated*, now playing at the Beck, offers an unexpectedly
compelling look at the death penalty.

Why “unexpectedly?” Because director Colleen Longshaw skillfully avoids
yelling at or lecturing to the audience. Written by Jessica Blank and Erik
Jensen, the docudrama presents true accounts of a half dozen wrongfully
convicted individuals on death row. Listening to one speaker and then to
the next, we learn about their lives, the crime they were convicted of, and
the legal decisions that put them on death row. Given that execution cannot
be undone and that eventually they were found innocent, their stories make
a strong case for abolishing the death penalty.
