On October 26, 2004, Dominique Green, thirty, was executed by
lethal injection in Huntsville, Texas. Arrested at the age of
eighteen in the fatal shooting of a man during a robbery outside a
Houston convenience store, Green may have taken part in the robbery
but always insisted that he did not pull the trigger. The jury,
which had no African Americans on it, sentenced him to death.
Despite obvious errors in the legal procedures and the protests of
the victim's family, he spent the last twelve years of his life on
Death Row.
When Cahill found himself in Texas in December 2003, he visited
Dominique at the request of Judge Sheila Murphy, who was working on
the appeal of the case. In Dominique, he encountered a level of
goodness, peace, and enlightenment that few human beings ever
attain. Cahill joined the fierce fight for Dominique's life, even
enlisting Dominique's hero, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, to make an
historic visit to Dominique and to plead publicly for mercy. Cahill
was so profoundly moved by Dominique's extraordinary life that he
was compelled to tell the tragic story of his unjust death at the
hands of the state.
"A Saint on Death Row" will introduce you to a young man whose
history, innate goodness, and final days you will never forget. It
also shines a necessary light on America's racist and deeply flawed
legal system. "A Saint on Death Row" is an absorbing, sobering, and
deeply spiritual story that illuminates the moral imperatives too
often ignored in the headlong quest for justice.
