Recensione:
“Luminous, undecorated, angry and very moving. . . . [It] tests our conception of human decency.” –The New York Times Book Review“A work of great persuasive power. It will also, I hope, become a source of outrage.” –Christopher Hitchens, Los Angeles Times Book Review“Impassioned yet thoughtful. . . . Certain to promote reflection. . . . Prejean commands respect.” –The Christian Science Monitor“A stunning work of conscience, told with restrained outrage, a sharp eye for the absurd, and an unshakeable belief in the dignity of all humans.” –The San Diego Union-Tribune

Da:
Valutazione libreria
Descrizione libro Softcover. Condizione: New. Reprint. From the author of the national bestseller Dead Man Walking comes a brave and fiercely argued new book that tests the moral edge of the debate on capital punishment: What if were executing innocent men? Two cases in point are Dobie Gillis Williams, an indigent black man with an IQ of 65, and Joseph Roger ODell. Both were convicted of murder on flimsy evidence (ODells principal accuser was a jailhouse informant who later recanted his testimony). Both were executed in spite of numerous appeals. Sister Helen Prejean watched both of them die.As she recounts these mens cases and takes us through their terrible last moments, Prejean brilliantly dismantles the legal and religious arguments that have been used to justify the death penalty. Riveting, moving, and ultimately damning, The Death of Innocents is a book we dare not ignore. Codice articolo DADAX0679759484

Riveting, moving, and ultimately damning, The Death of Innocents is a book we dare not ignore. Sister Helen Prejean, author of "Dead Man Walking," now takes readers to the new moral edge of the debate on capital punishment: What if we're killing the wrong man? Prejean implores readers to reflect on what is perhaps the core moral issue of the death penalty debate: can anyone argue about the injustice of executing the innocent?
