The role of capital punishment in America has been criticised by
those for and against the death penalty, by the judiciary,
academics, the media and by prison personnel. This book
demonstrates that it is the inconsistent and often incoherent
jurisprudence of the United States Supreme Court which accounts for
a system so lacking in public confidence. Using case studies,
Kenneth Williams examines issues such as jury selection,
ineffective assistance of counsel, the role of race and claims of
innocence which affect the Court's decisions and how these
decisions are played out in the lower courts, often an inmate's
last recourse before execution. Discussing international treaties
and their lack of impact on capital punishment in America, this
book has international appeal and makes an important contribution
to legal scholarship. It also provides a unique understanding of
the dynamics of an alarmingly problematic system and will be
valuable to those interested in human rights and criminal justice.
