Description 1 online resource (87 minutes)
Summary In 1987, Edward Earl Johnson - a Mississippi black man convicted of the murder of a white town marshal - was sent to the gas chamber after eight years of protesting his innocence on Death Row. This moving and award-winning film follows the final 14 days of his life. Found guilty on the sole evidence of signing a confession he had not written, Johnson had no previous convictions and consistently denied the charge. By May 1987, he was no nearer to clearing his name and the date of his execution had finally been set: May 20. Fourteen Days in May follows Johnson as he sees and touches his family for the last time
