From the series Uncuffed:
As a child, Ivan Kilgore believed in God because that’s what he was told to do. But doubts were always with him. I wondered if those doubt surged or faded when Ivan found himself faced with a lethal injection in Oklahoma.
"People around me said, 'boy, you better believe in God – you gon' wind up in hell.'"
