Academicians and practitioners also provide much-needed insight into the management and correctional issues that arise with the incarceration of older offenders, including adjustment to prison life, physical and emotional health care, and rehabilitation and/or preparation of the offender for the return to life outside prison.

Justice Denied - Clemency Appeals in Death Penalty Cases (Paperback): Cathleen Burnett Justice Denied - Clemency Appeals in Death Penalty Cases (Paperback)
Cathleen Burnett
R619 Discovery Miles 6 190 Out of stock

Sobered by mounting evidence of wrongful convictions in capital cases, both death penalty advocates and abolitionists are calling for a moratorium on executions in the United States. This timely book delves into the difficult questions surrounding the heated public and legal debate about a criminal justice system that risks the state-sanctioned killing of an innocent person.
Focusing on executive clemency petitions, the final hope for death row inmates, Cathleen Burnett exposes troubling flaws in the legal process of administering the death penalty. Her in-depth examination of all of the fifty petitions presented to the governors of Missouri since the state reinstated capital punishment in 1977, shows in dramatic detail how the machinery of justice often fails the condemned and their victims alike. Skillfully interweaving her investigation with compelling case studies, Burnett considers particular stages in death penalty convictions to illuminate the mistakes and miscarriages of justice commonly addressed in clemency petitions-police misconduct and false testimony; overzealous prosecution; ineffective defense counsel; judicial prejudice; and state and federal appellate reviews that increasingly neglect the protection of individual rights. Burnett also probes the decision-making process in evaluating clemency petitions, showing how political and other persuasive forces, from the media to the Pope, limit a governor's ability to act as a reliable fail-safe to capital punishment.
The powerful stories included here uncover a trail of injustices that will give pause to anyone struggling with the legal and moral dilemmas of the death penalty.
