What Would You Do You Were Found Guilty And Sentenced To Death Row?

If you were found guilty, but you were really 100% innocent?

I just finished the book "The Sun Always Shines" and its about this guy from Alabama who was sentenced to death row at 29 for a crime he didn't commit.

He was at work when the crime took place, there had been several of the same crime taking place even when he was in prison. They claimed he used his mother's gun, but because the gun expert his lawyer used was found to not be credible it was dismissed that his claim that the bullets on the site didn't match his mom's gun.

I don't want to give away the whole story if anyone plans on reading it, but there was more than enough evidence that showed he was innocent, but he had a public defendant who was being paid $1000 for the case and given $500 to hire experts so he really didn't care.

Being on Death row, the prisoners were only like 30 feet from where they electrocuted people (but in 2002 they started lethal injection) and when they did, the smell would linger for days. He lived in a 5 x 7 cell with no AC. At night mice and roaches would crawl around and you eventually get used to hearing the mice all over the place. It sounded like it was pretty close to living in hell..And having to do it knowing for sure you were innocent..

If anyone wants to read about the guy his name is Anthony Ray Hinton, he got out in 2015 and has gone all around the world to speak to people about his experience, etc..

There were several times where it almost broke him and at one point he had decided he was going to hang himself, but his lawyer, who he became good friends with, called him that day and after their talk, it temporarily got him out of a very dark place and he didn't do it.

Does anyone think they would break? I got to be honest, I can't say for sure. I would fight it and I think there is a better chance I wouldn't than would, but evidently it was pretty common on death row. Some would kill themselves right away, some would just break, etc.
