Judgment Day: Should the Guilty Go Free

Every year, hundreds of thousands of convicts appear before parole and clemency boards to plead for early release. This hard-hitting program draws viewers into the formidable decision-making process as boards in Boston, Las Vegas, and Leesville, Louisiana, grapple with harrowing cases of second-degree murder, armed robbery, and manslaughter. Compelling footage of the actual hearings, intense crime reenactments, and powerful interviews with parole and clemency board members, experts, and those most intimately touched by these violent felonies make this an educational experience not to be missed. Viewer discretion is advised. An HBO Production. (67 minutes)
