Dead Wrong: A Death Row Lawyer Speaks Out Against Capital PunishmentUniversity of Wisconsin Press, 15. nov. 1997 - 393 sider Though Mello is unflinching in his recognition of the brutal realities of capital crimes, his book is a powerful indictment of the death penalty enterprise in America. He is appalled at the lack of vigilance in a system that routinely punishes guilty and innocent alike. And, practicing in Florida, he saw the state's death penalty cost to taxpayers rise to an estimated average $3.2 million per execution--six times the average cost of life imprisonment. |
