Ivan Cantu was sentenced to death in 2001 for the murder of his cousin and his fiancée. Cantu, a Hispanic born in Dallas 50 years ago to a Mexican father, does not speak Spanish, only English.

"If you look at the evidence you will clearly know that I did not commit the crime," he says firmly. "I am against the death penalty, it is not fair," Cantu says, "From a human point of view, how do you prove that killing is wrong?"
