Jackson, Jesse Legal Lynching: Racism, Injustice and the Death Penalty
New York, New York, U.S.A. Marlowe & Co 1996 1569247617 / 9781569247617 First Edition Hard Cover Near-Fine Near-Fine
Near-fine condition - NO remainder marks or price clippings - Price inside dustcover: $22.95 - NO writing, marks or tears inside book. 224 pages - Stated First Marlowe & Co. Edition - Legal Lynching is an impassioned rebuttal to advocates of the death penalty: legal executions are unjustly administered, are morally indefensible and fail to deter crime. A comprehensive rejection of the knee-jerk solution to the rise in violent crime, Legal Lynching comprises a history of state-sponsored execution, a consideration of the statistical evidence, an examination of scriptural justification for the taking of a life, and, most chilling, the true-life stories of those condemned to die who were later found to be innocent. With eloquent determination, Jackson examines the recent history of the death penalty. He reflects on high-profile cases, such as that of Mumia Abu-Jamal; assesses the state of the opposition movement; and reveals irrefutable discrepancies in the implementation of the death penalty based on race, class, sex, and geography. By giving lie to the notion that justice is administered blindly and fairly in the life-and-death cases, Jackson's exposition is an inspiring call to action.

Jackson, Rev. Jesse L. Sr.; Shapiro, Bruce; Jackson, Jesse L., Representative Jr. Legal Lynching: The Death Penalty and America's Future
New York, New York, U.S.A. Anchor Books 2003 0385722117 / 9780385722117 Trade Paperback Fine
Near-new condition - NO writing, marks or tears inside book - Tight spine - Bright pages. NO remainder marks or price clippings. - 182 pages. The death penalty is one of the most hotly contested issues in America today. Evidence continues to mount that many innocent people have been executed or are currently living on death row, and that minority groups and the poor suffer from a shoddy public defense system and discriminatory application of capital charges. Meanwhile, the myth of deterrence has been revealed to be false, and an increasing number of Americans are beginning to question their support for capital punishment. Legal Lynching offers a succinct, accessible introduction to the debate over the death penalty's history and future, exposing a chilling frequency of legal error, systemic racial and economic discrimination, and pervasive government misconduct. This is an essential book for readers across the political spectrum who wish to cut through the common myths and assumptions about the efficacy and morality of state-sanctioned killing.
