The Exorcist and the Executioner

In 1953, a daring daylight robbery in Chicago left a security guard dead and a young man named Paul Crump facing the electric chair. But as Crump insisted his confession had been beaten out of him, his case caught the attention of an aspiring filmmaker determined to uncover the truth. What followed was an extraordinary battle against the justice system, raising one haunting question: was Paul Crump an innocent man condemned to die, or a killer who had convinced the world otherwise?
