Michael Dee Mattson was convicted of these crimes and sentenced to death.Law clerk by day, family man by night.

To avoid losing his family and releasing pure evil back into the world, Potts must be smarter than his options. He must find a way to keep his family together, fulfill his duties, and keep Mattson behind bars.But can he?
