Robert Blecker Wants Me Dead follows two years in an extraordinary friendship: between Blecker, a law professor who supports the death penalty, and Daryl Holton, a Tennessee man who murdered his own four children.
The clips below are excerpts from the center-point of the film: Blecker's visit to Holton on death row in September 2007, seven days before the killer's scheduled execution.
Blecker wants to use this last conversation to wring from Holton his final confession - not to the crime itself, which Holton never denied, but to being wrong. Blecker wants this murderer to accept and admit he deserves to die.
Seven days to execution
I hate to call it bloodlust
