Judgment at Midnight
This program enters a world rarely seen: the world of an inmate waiting to
die and of a prison preparing to execute him. The program, reported by ABC
News correspondent Cynthia McFadden, takes viewers from the cellblock, to
the execution chamber, to preparation of the lethal injection, and into the
mind of inmate Antonio James as he prepares to pay the ultimate price for
his crimes. The program offers a real-life portrait, putting a human face on
the controversial issue of capital punishment, as it chronicles both the
angry voices of the victims’ families and the touching moments in which the
condemned man sees his family for the last time. The program also explores
the unusual relationship between the inmate and the warden, who struggles
with personal feelings that conflict with his responsibility for carrying
out the execution. (46 minutes)
