Review of The Onion Field

I met the Judge who sentenced Powell to death recently. He filled me in on the behind the scenes. The movie is accurate. Powell was a degenerate even once masturbating in court. His escape attempts all true and when the Judge asked him how did you smuggle razor blades onto death row Powell replied: You can smuggle anything on to Death Row stating you would be surprised. The Judge was saddened to see Powell beat the death penalty and the system as he was a hard, cold blooded killer beast of a man. Powell at one time agreed to have Sodium Pentothal administered and to be asked questions under the influence of the truth drug. When asked: did you fire the shots (both men accused the other), he twice stopped short of answering. The third time, when asked again, stated under the drug, I rather not say.
