If you were looking for a two-sided, open-minded play about capital punishment, this was not it. Still, whether you're for or against it, you'll be moved by the potency with which these particular case histories are brought to life. The Exonerated was not easy to watch, but then it's not easy to be locked up and condemned to death for a crime you didn't commit and, as Sunny puts it, have an "entire chunk from your life removed."
