Sister Helen Prejean
The Death of Innocents : An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions
Random House USA 2005. First Edition. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine Condition. 310 pages. Boards have no wear rubbing or soiling. Edges of dust jacket have light bumping. Pages are clean and unmarked and in excellent condition. Sister Helen Prejean was a little-known Roman Catholic nun from Louisiana when in 1993 her first book "Dead Man Walking" challenged the way we look at the death penalty in America. It became a #1 New York Times bestseller and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. Now in "The Death of Innocents" she takes us to the new moral edge of the debate on capital punishment: What if we're killing the wrong man Dobie Gillis Williams an indigent black man from rural Louisiana with an IQ of 65 was accused of a brutal rape and murder. Williams's inept defense counsel later disbarred for unethical practice for unrelated cases allowed the prosecution's incredibly contrived scenario of the crime to go unchallenged. Less than two years after Williams's execution in January 1999 the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional to kill a man so mentally disabled. In 1986 Joseph Roger O'Dell was convicted of murder in Virginia despite highly circumstantial evidence from a jailhouse snitch. For twelve years O'Dell sought DNA testing on the forensic evidence which he claimed would exonerate him but the courts refused. After his execution on July 23 1997 the state destroyed the evidence. As a result its conviction of O'Dell could never be scrutinized. "The reader of this book will be the first 'jury' with access to all the evidence the trial juries never saw" says Prejean who accompanied both men to their executions. By using the withheld evidence to reconstruct the crimes for which these two men were convicted Prejean shows how race prosecutorial ambition poverty election cycles and publicity play far too great a role in determining who dies and who lives. Prejean traces the historical underpinnings of executions in this country demonstrating that it is no accident that over 80 percent of executions in the past twenty-five years have been carried out in the former slave states. She also raises profound constitutional questions about an appeals system that decides most death cases on procedural grounds without ever examining their merits. To date 113 wrongfully convicted persons have been freed from death row. If constitutional protections-due process assistance of counsel and equal justice under law-are truly being respected how is it possible that these people were convicted in the first place And how can we accept a system so rife with error Sister Helen Prejean takes us with her on her spiritual journey as she accompanies two possibly innocent human beings to their deaths at the hands of the state. Prejean implores us to reflect on what is perhaps the core moral issue of the death penalty debate: Honorable people disagree about the justice of executing the guilty but can anyone argue about the injustice of executing the innocent Quantity Available: 1.

Taken into custody and eventually sentenced to imprisonment and a public flogging for the local crime of serving alcohol Richard Arnot was released as the result of intervention by the British government and was deported back to the UK. In the wake of Ron Smith's determined campaign to prove that foul play as associated in his daughter's death Arnot was hounded by the press and shunned by the medical profession.

Hostage : The History Facts & Reasoning Behind Hostage Taking
Deutsch London 2003. First Edition. Hardcover. Good ex-library/Very Good. 256 pages. Text and spine/cover marked with Library stamps in all other respects in very good condition throughout. Boards have no wear rubbing or soiling. Dust jacket has light creasing. Dust jacket is unclipped. Dust jacket is protected in clear plastic sleeve. Edges of pages are slightly soiled. The taking of hostages has become a familiar event in the world's headlines but news coverage naturally tends to focus on the individual event itself rather than the broader picture and its implications. Hostage is a highly topical study of the phenomenon of hostage taking both historically and in the world today. It examines the problems and issues related to the taking holding killing or releasing of hostages and explores such areas as: history of hostage taking and how it has evolved; the seizing of hostages including hijackings; the treatment of hostages and the relationship that develops between captor and captive; rescues escapes and releases; hostage negotiations; the ultimate fate of the captors and captives; the trauma and subsequent long-term effects of being held hostage; the response by the government police and special forces to hostage-taking. Drawing on a large number of individual cases and in dialogue with many key hostages terrorists and negotiators John Griffiths dramatically re-creates the main hostage events of the post-War era and asks how effective it is as a means to an end and will it always be such a powerful bargaining tool Quantity Available: 1.

Sam Roberts
The Brother : The Untold Story of the Rosenberg Case
Random House 2003. Reprint. Medium Trade Paperback. Good ex-library. 549 pages. Small tear at top of spine. Ex-library with usual marks stamps stickers. Covers have light creasing. Spine is uncreased. Cover is protected in clear self-adhesive laminate. Edges of pages are reasonably browned. Pages are lightly tanned and lightly creased. Fifty years after their execution in June 1953 for conspiring to steal atomic secrets Julius and Ethel Rosenberg remain the subjects of great emotional debate and acrimony. The man whose testimony almost single-handedly convicted them was Ethel Rosenberg's own brother David Greenglass. Though the Rosenbergs were executed Greenglass served a mere ten years in prison after which with a new name he disappeared. But journalist Sam Roberts found Greenglass and then managed to convince him to talk about everything that had happened. So here at last is the mesmerizing inside story of the Rosenberg case: What were their lives like growing up on the Lower East Side How was David Greenglass enlisted in a plot to hand over to the Soviets our greatest national secret And how finally did the whole thing unravel Even beyond that "The Brother" reveals how David Greenglass perjured himself in testifying about his sister and her husband--testimony that virtually strapped them into the electric chair. "The Brother" is a great narrative far more mesmerizing than anything else written on the subject. It is a story of espionage. It is the story of a trial. And most tragically it is the story of a family. Quantity Available: 1. Category: True Crime; ISBN: 0375761241. ISBN/EAN: 9780375761249. Inventory No: 13110283. 9780375761249 Random House paperback

BLOOD BROTHERHOODS is the enthralling new history of Italian organised crime by the author of the international bestseller COSA NOSTRA. Mafia. Camorra. 'Ndrangheta.

The south of the country hosts two other major mafias: the camorra from Naples and its hinterland; and the 'ndrangheta the mafia from the poor and isolated region of Calabria that has now risen to become the most powerful mob of all.
