Death row episodes are the worst. It's a barbaric practice and everything about it just screams how immoral this country is. It's exceptionally gross. The idea that "Oh hey we killed someone for the crime we're never going to open the case again even if we get evidence" is so horrific it makes me gag and it's the central premise of this episode as Jane and the FBI have to get a confession before the execution or else no one will care what the real killer has to say. The irony of someone in this episode pointing out how it's about justice when they end up being proven that the death row inmate isn't the killer. Which we know from the episode construction had to be true from the start. All this and that's ONLY the ethical consideration. Not even accounting for the physical and fiscal considerations that of course aren't the purview of this show.
