Death Penalty on Trial: Crisis in American Justice
Death Penalty on Trial Crisis in American Justice
Author: Bill Kurtis
Bill Kurtis, anchor of the popular true-crime TV series Cold Case Files and American Justice, used to support the death penalty. But after observing the machinations of the justice system for thirty years, he came to a stunning realization that there can be no real justice in America until it is abolished. In Death Pen...  more », Kurtis revisits two harrowing murder scenes, studies the evidence, and explores the tactical decisions made before and during trial, which sent two innocent men to death row. Through these cases, we encounter the eight main reasons why the wrong people are condemned to death, and we see why new forensic science techniques could touch off a revolution of reform. Ultimately we come to a remarkable conclusion: The possibility for error in our justice system is simply too great to allow the death penalty to stand.
