There have been many heroes and victims in the battle to abolish
the death penalty, and Marie Deans fits into both of those
categories. A South Carolina native who yearned to be a fiction
writer, Marie was thrust by a combination of
circumstances-including the murder of her beloved
mother-in-law-into a world much stranger than fiction, a world in
which minorities and the poor were selected to be sacrificed to
what Supreme Court Justice Harry Blackmun called the ""machinery of
death."" Marie found herself fighting to bring justice to the legal
process and to bring humanity not only to prisoners on death row
but to the guards and wardens as well. During Marie's time as a
death penalty opponent in South Carolina and Virginia, she
experienced the highs of helping exonerate the innocent and the
lows of standing death watch in the death house with thirty-four
condemned men.
