Ultimate Punishment: A Lawyer's Reflections on Dealing with the Death Penalty
|
|
 |
Title Description Chicago criminal lawyer and former U.S. prosecutor Scott Turow mines his extensive experience, including his successful representation of two different men convicted in death penalty prosecutions, to produce a compelling examination of capital punishment. ULTIMATE PUNISHMENT describes how Turow's views on the death penalty have evolved, from his beginnings as an impassioned young prosecutor to his recent service on the Illinois commission that investigated the administration of the death penalty and influenced Governor George Ryan's unprecedented commutation of the sentences of 164 death row inmates on his last day in office. This gripping and clear-sighted account of the principles, personalities, and politics of this fundamental dilemma for democracy has all the drama and intellectual substance of his celebrated legal fiction.
