Joseph Arridy: Physically, Joseph Arridy is a man in his early twenties, but mentally, he is a five year old child. Arridy has never been able to escape his childlike ways of acting and thinking. He even finds joy in playing with toys as an adult.
Despite being framed for murder and ending up on Death Row, Arridy is always enjoying himself and smiling amidst his child like mannerisms. He can’t quite comprehend what the death penalty is, despite the fact that he is about to experience it.
