The Exonerated, written by Jessica Blank and Erik Jensen and first performed in the United States in 2002, tells the stories of six prisoners who spent years on death row in the United States "living in fear of the electric chair, before each was shown to be the victim of a miscarriage of justice,"
Jessica Blank of Lordstown, who teaches at Newton Falls Elementary School, said her school was planning a drill Friday that would have dealt with the type of scenario that played out in Newtown, but the drill was canceled because of the Newtown events.
