H there,
I've spent quite a lot of time searching for these titles for you, but
since the information I've come up with is scanty, I'm going to post
what I have managed to find as a comment.
Perhaps someone with connections in the Out of Print video finding
service will have better luck!
DEATH BY MIDNIGHT
-----------------
Out of print, and no longer available for purchase. This video is
available in the holdings of the American University Libraries, whose
description I've included below. You may be able to find this through
your local library, who might also have purchasing information:
"Death by midnight. 1992. 2 videocassettes (ca. 96 min.). A report on
the efforts of anti-death penalty activists to win a reprieve for
convicted murderer Harold Otey, while death penalty proponents try to
ensure that the sentence remains intact. The program recounts the
crime and shows the preparations for carrying out the sentence.
Although the defense wins eight delays, the sentence is carried out in
September, 1994. VHS 2351"
