Summary

In this installment of Best Of The Gist, we listen back to Mike's 2019 interview with Anthony Ray Hinton, who was wrongfully convicted for the murder of two teenagers in Alabama in 1985. After 30 years on death row, Hinton's conviction was overturned, and he was released. He's since become an advocate for those facing the death penalty and the abolishment of it in the United States. Hinton's book is titled, The Sun Does Shine: How I Found Life and Freedom on Death Row. Then we hear Mike's Wednesday Spiel about Kenneth Eugene Smith's recent execution by nitrogen hypoxia. Observers were disturbed by the process of Smith's final five minutes on Earth, but officials of the state of Alabama where only disturbed by others' disturbed-ness.
