Ultimate Punishment
I'm reading the book Utimate Punishment, written by Scott Turow who is a lawyer and writer, and was featured in Deadline. Turow leads the reader along his own evolving views of capital punishment, gaining experience both as a young prosecutor and as one of the appointed Commission members (the famous Commission that was set up by Governor George Ryan to study the Death Penalty and investigate what reforms, if any, would be necessary to ensure that the Death Penalty was fair and just). What's most interesting is that he gives an inside look at the Commission...who was on it, their backgrounds, their meetings and ultimately how they came to their conclusions.
