His Oscar–winning role in Dead Man Walking where he played a convicted rapist and murderer who perished by lethal-injection in Louisiana seems to have made a deep impression upon Penn.

He probably also thinks Martin Sheen is a former POTUS.

Dead Man Walking turned me in favor of the death penalty. I knew it was supposed to be against the death penalty but what I saw was that the death penalty made the guilty man finally admit to himself his wrong, it freed his own family from visits and it freed the victims’ families from having to testify every few years.
