Was passiert, bevor ein Mord geschieht? David R. Dow suchte nach Möglichkeiten, die Anzahl der Todesstrafenprozesse zu verringern. Schließlich fiel ihm auf, dass überraschend viele der Häftlinge im Todestrakt sehr ähnliche Biografien hatten. In diesem Vortrag stellt er einen mutigen Plan vor, die Morde, die zu den Todesurteilen führen, erst gar nicht geschehen zu lassen.

David R. Dow has defended over 100 death row inmates in 20 years. Full bio »
