"“The fruit of my experience has this bitter aftertaste…… Capital punishment,in my view, achieved nothing except revenge Albert Pierrepoint, 1974 If you can watch this film and feel nothing you have to be a soulless human being. To execute 435-600 people just sounds crazy. And this man was like the Usain Bolt of executioners with record timing and all. This story definitely has a beating heart to it."
