Description
"Those who support capital punishment often claim that they do so because it provides justice and closure for the victims' families. In Capital Consequences, attorney Rachel King reminds us that there are other families and other victims who are excluded from the death penalty debate, and who should be considered." "Combining a narrative voice with vivid, passionate, and painful accounts of the families of death row inmates, the book describes how crimes that lead to death sentences also devastate the families of those convicted. These families, King argues, are the unseen victims of capital punishment." "King challenges readers to question the morality of a punishment that victimizes families of the condemned, having a ripple effect, through future generations."--Jacket.
First Sentence
Capital Consequences is a sequel, of sorts, to my first book, Don't Kill in Our Names: Families of Murder Victims Speak Out Against the Death Penalty, published by Rutgers in 2003.
