About Deadline:
In 2002, a group of Northwestern journalism students discover that three Illinois death row inmates received wrongful convictions. As a statewide debate on capital punishment ensues, Governor George Ryan, a longtime death penalty advocate, is the only person capable of granting clemency to 160 death row inmates. With remarkable access to the clemency hearings and insightful interviews with key figures, Deadline delivers a taut, pulsing narrative that follows Ryan to his astonishing decision.
