On Death Row S01 E02: Hank Skinner | Werner Herzog

Hank Skinner was sentenced to death 18 years ago. What makes him so interesting is the fact that he had his execution scheduled three times. He is a vivid storyteller, and his account of his last few hours before execution is chilling and profound.

    Werner Herzog has this great talent of feeling the moment and asking the right questions in an interview. He is able to show us that whatever crime was committed by a convict, there is still a person behind it.

    I think Werner isn’t that good at interviewing he doesn’t seem to understand how to speak these inmates.

    He says things that are in my opinion aggravating and unnecessary.

    I can't help myself, but if this is a killer… probably a lot of killers are between us. Sure, he has his problems, but, who hasn't? Can imagine he might really be an ash*** when drunk, but i just think, there must be a better way. There must be a possibility to let them even free, maybe remove testicles, get them some weekly medical injections suppressing aggression, hypnosis or whatever… i mean, there are pills for everything… implement a GPS, GSM and miniature bomb or whatever to have them "under control"… remote controlled… i can't believe that we still have to hold all those "criminals" like animals in a cage, ban them to an island … i believe we have chosen worst possible solution of all possibilities the universe offers! Maybe not applicable to everybody, but for sure worth a try.

    As of March 2020, Skinner is still on Death Row;The Judicial District court continues to rule that the DNA testing is not favorable to the accused, while the defense team considers that the presence of an unknown third-party DNA detected, and the loss of evidence by the state should definitively rule out the reasonable character of the conviction and even more the death penalty.
