ynopsis

Pickett presided over 95 executions in his 15 year career, including the very first by lethal injection. He kept his feelings about his work from his family, instead audiotaping an account of each one. Initially pro-execution, he became an anti-death penalty activist.

Pickett was most affected by the execution of Carlos De Luna in 1989. He firmly believed in De Luna's innocence. Evidence uncovered by "Chicago Tribune" reporters Maurice Possley and Steve Mills strongly supports Pickett's view. [ [http://www.ifc.com/atthedeathhousedoor At the Death House Door ] ]
