Carroll Pickett walked into the TDC Huntsville death chamber 95 times. Unlike the men he counseled, he also walked out. At the Death House Door is the chronicle of Pickettยs time as death-house chaplain. The film takes a close look at Pickettยs relationship with Carlos de Luna, a condemned prisoner believed by many to be innocent. The Reverend Pickett will be at todayยs screening, along with David Atwood, founder of the Texas Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty, for a discussion following the film. 7 p.m. Fondren Hall, St. Paulยs United Methodist Church, 5501 Main.
