Michael Perry spent nearly a decade on Texas death row before he was executed by lethal injection on July 1, 2010.

But his story began long before the execution chamber.

In the premiere episode of Final Words: Voices from Death Row, we examine Perry’s life from childhood through the crimes that led to his death sentence, the lives of victims Sandra Stotler, Adam Stotler, and Jeremy Richardson, his trial and appeals, his years on death row, and the legal battles that continued until the final days of his life.

We’ll also look at Perry’s continued claims of innocence, the complicated role of co-defendant Jason Burkett, and what happened during Perry’s final hours before his execution.

Final Words isn’t about glorifying the person on death row. The victims and the lives taken are an essential part of every story.

At the end, we’ll return to the words Michael Perry chose to leave behind.
