The Last 12 Weeks - Ep. 4

In this episode of The Last 12 Weeks, the focus is on David Wood, a man on death row in Texas, who is not contesting his crimes but his guilt in a series of murders. Wood's case raises fundamental questions about guilt and innocence, particularly as he argues he did not commit the crimes for which he was convicted.

The episode delves into his past, exploring testimonies from victims, including Christy, who was raped by Wood when she was a teenager. Christy's reluctance turned to determination as she faced Wood in court, making a powerful statement about reclaiming power over her narrative.

Wood, in contrast, presents his life story, including a troubled youth marked by multiple convictions, and claims the police targeted him based on his criminal history, rather than evidence. As his execution date looms, the episode juxtaposes the victims’ testimonies against Wood’s narrative, seeking to understand the complexity of his character and the implications of his potential innocence.
