As described by the author, Sr. Helen Prejean
(author of DEAD MAN WALKING)
My new book:
THE DEATH OF INNOCENTS:
On December 28, 2004, on the
Feast of the Holy Innocents, my new book, The Death of Innocents, was released
by Random House. In it I review the cases and stories of how two men, Dobie
Gillis Williams in Louisiana and Joseph O'Dell in Virginia, were executed. I
present you with a lot of information their juries never got, and I believe the
facts argue for the innocence of both of these men. I invite you to read it and
decide for yourselves. I also describe the evolution of Catholic thinking on the
death penalty, and give the background for the changes that Pope John Paul II
made to the Catholic Catechism on the subject of capital punishment.
