Todesstrafe - Ein Deutscher hinter Gittern

Death Row - a German Behind Bars

An ambitious journalist named Corinna Pohl travels to a major American city to do a lead story for her newspaper on a fellow countryman, Klaus Jansen, who is on death row. For the past seven years, he has been awaiting execution for the murder of his wife. She visits the prisoner, who is conceited and unwilling to talk. Discouraged, Corinna considers going home to Germany. But her boss insists she speaks to Jansen. Gradually, she manages to win his confidence. Corinna is fascinated by the prisoner and entertains serious doubts about his guilt. With the aid of Steven Grady, the investigator used by Jansen's lawyer, she decides to prove his innocence. During a series of increasingly intense interviews with Jansen, who is amazingly open with Corinna, she slowly loses her professional objectivity. But she is bent on helping Jansen—she is ready to invest all her skill and energy into obtaining a pardon for the prisoner.
