14:58Now PlayingEach week on “Making the Case,” the show shares stories about people on death row.
There is the story of Ndume Olatushani, who was locked up behind bars for 28 years on a first-degree murder charge that he did not commit. He was sentenced to death row where he was locked in a 4-by-9-foot cell for 23 hours a day, as he watched people get taken one by one to the electric chair.
During his time in prison, Olatushani developed a passion for painting and realized he had a talent for it. In June 2012, he was released from prison, and his art has been featured in galleries across America.
Olatushani and his attorney, Kelley Henry, as well as Lisette Williams of the Martha's Vineyard Black Lives Matter chapter, join Sharon Reed on “Making the Case” to discuss the case and Olatushani’s freedom and art.
All this and more on “Making the Case.”
