BOOK - A Look Behind the Headlines, Real-Life Crimes and the Supreme Court

"Tales of Murder, Murderers and the Death Penalty at the Supreme Court" PBS Newshour 3/25/2013

Excerpt

JEFFREY BROWN (Newshour):  They begin as often grisly tales of murder, the stuff of the tabloids and nightly news, but some of these crime stories end up in the Supreme Court, part of a continuing and evolving debate in this country about the death penalty, its methods, its effectiveness, its morality.

A new book explores this history.  It's titled "Murder at the Supreme Court:  Lethal Crimes and Landmark Cases."  Its authors are veteran journalists Martin Clancy and Tim O'Brien.
