Overview

Over the last several years all over the world, individuals have been exonerated who otherwise might have been executed for offences which it later turned out, they never committed. Examples include but are not limited to: Rubin Hurricane Carter who spent 19 years in prison and Geronimo Pratt who spent 27 years in prison in the U.S.; the Guildford 4 and Birmingham 6 in the U.K.; the Sharpeville 6 in South Africa and many others around the world. The U.S. brings forth on a regular basis numerous examples of people who were at the brink of execution before exoneration. A number of people have been executed in the U.K.; U.S.A.; South Africa under apartheid and elsewhere for crimes it later turned out, they never committed. Thus the topic of the death penalty will be with us for the foreseeable future. It is like the Halley's Comet. It keeps coming back after a disappearance. This book is a small contribution to that debate.
