The Window on Death Row

Joaquín José Martínez, the first Spaniard ever exonerated from U.S. death row, was once a supporter of capital punishment until, at 24, he was convicted of a double murder in Florida. He spent more than five years behind bars, three on death row.

Two decades after he was exonerated, Joaquín transforms his personal trauma into public advocacy.

The Window on Death Row asks urgent questions: Is there ever an ethical reason to kill someone? Is closure possible for the victims’ families? And how do we reconcile the contradiction that facing a death sentence, even an unjust one, can paradoxically lead to a second chance at life?
