S3-E17 – The Wrongful Execution of Chiang Kuo-ching (江國慶) and the Death Penalty in Taiwan

Among the too many killings committed in the lawless year of 1997
was the execution of 21-year-old Chiang Kuo-ching (江國慶), a
soldier convicted of a horrific crime after a forced
confession. Chiang went to his death maintaining his
innocence, and 14 years later in 2011, he was
posthumously cleared of all wrongdoing. John and Eryk tell
this harrowing story, disagree on capital punishment, and
discuss the death penalty in Taiwan. They end with a case
John brings up of a serial killer from the
1970s-80s who certainly "deserved" his fate.
