This episode is kinda different than the typical "deathrow inmate documentary'.
Because what is the chance that someone's death sentence gets commuted to life in prison just before the moment that he is executed?! This with the possibility to even get parole after serving a minimum of 40 years. Or even earlier if the District Attorney gives his approval. But in some special twist of faith, the brother of the victim is the acting District Attorney. What are the chances of that?!
I therefore think that this episode can best be compared with the situation that someone ends up winning the lottery twice. Only in this case it is not about the happiness that is the result of winning a lottery, but out of the sadness and misery that comes out of a deadly crime that is committed.
Just because of this rare situation, this episode is a recommended watch. I personally do not like the personality of the inmate, but overall I still give this episode a score of 7.3/10.

How can he have been guilty of murder, he didn't pull the trigger, that makes absolutely no sense.
I'm sorry, but when I watched the previous episode, I could see a man who was definitely a self confessed killer, this guy though, come on.
I'm not saying he wasn't guilty of something heinous, clearly he was, but this guy was the driver, the gun was in Brown's hands. How on Earth is it possible for him to be a murderer? How could he have been responsible for another man's actions? The whole thing is absurd.
Nico's not in Prison for selling drugs, that's just a poor choice, but in his case everything's fine, he consciously chose to sell drugs, Kenneth did not consciously chose to pull the trigger? What am I missing. The guy is an enormous hypocrite.
To be killed by the state for being in the wrong place at the wrong time, sorry, but I just don't get it. A life rests on the opinions of a jury? Come on. Not even a shadow of doubt?
Very interesting, but to me, it stinks. 7/10.

A predator who is a career criminal and
cold blooded killer. He should NEVER see the light of day.
An interesting story no doubt but it's hard to judge without knowing all the facts. It seems unbelievable that you can be sentenced to death just because a jury believes you knew the killers intentions. But on the other hand, what could have led them to that decision so quickly.
Thanks again Netflix for having the opportunity to tell us these stories, maybe the stories we wouldn't have heard of in our entire life if it wasn't for this documentary. This is also an episode with many interesting aspects. A man receives a death penalty because of a crime he didn't commit but participate in it. Worth watching. Especially if you value the psychologies of criminal minds and not only the crime they commit. This must be for you.
