Sobre IBD

On22nd August 2000, Richard Wayne Jones’ life was snuffed out on a gurney in Huntsville, Texas. It was another State execution. He’d been on death row for fourteen years.Quick and fair? Not in the current US legal climate, and certainly not in the post-conviction review system prevailing in Texas today.The author exchanged letters with the condemned man, then met him, and so began a long and deep friendship between them which accompanied the struggle for justice that Wendy, her husband, her friends and lawyers embarked upon. The brutal closure of it all has prompted this searching and at times harrowing denunciation of the legal morass surrounding judicial murder in the USA.
