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.
The book is available at most bookstores, but you can also buy it at
