Hardback. Condition: Good. Powerful, wry essays offering modern takes on a primitive practice, from one of our most widely read death penalty abolitionists As Ruth Bader Ginsburg has noted, people who are well represented at trial rarely get the death penalty. But as Marc Bookman shows in a dozen brilliant essays, the problems with capital punishment run far deeper than just bad representation. Exploring prosecutorial misconduct, racist judges and jurors, drunken lawyering, and executing the innocent and the mentally ill, these essays demonstrate that precious few people on trial for their lives get the fair trial the Constitution demands. Today, death penalty cases continue to capture the hearts, minds, and eblasts of progressives of all stripes?including the rich and famous (see Kim Kardashian?s advocacy)?but few people with firsthand knowledge of America?s ?injustice system? have the literary chops to bring death penalty stories to life. Enter Marc Bookman. With a voice that is both literary and journalistic, the veteran capital defense lawyer and seven-time Best American Essays ?notable? author exposes the dark absurdities and fatal inanities that undermine the logic of the death penalty wherever it still exists. In essays that cover seemingly ?ordinary? capital cases over the last thirty years, Bookman shows how violent crime brings out our worst human instincts?revenge, fear, retribution, and prejudice. Combining these emotions with the criminal legal system?s weaknesses?purposely ineffective, arbitrary, or widely infected with racism and misogyny?is a recipe for injustice. Bookman has been charming and educating readers in the pages of The Atlantic, Mother Jones, and Slate for years. His wit and wisdom are now collected and preserved in A Descending Spiral.…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Public defender Simon Koufax has spent years navigating the criminal justice system, but nothing prepares him for Albert Birdsong-a quiet, sensitive, substitute teacher accused of an unfathomable double murder. The evidence is overwhelming, and the community demands vengeance.When the state decides to seek the death penalty, jurors must decide his fate. While a relentless prosecutor and an ambitious judge want to make sure Albert pays the ultimate price, his defense team seeks mercy for a client who doesn't believe he deserves it. Indeed, Birdsong insists on his guilt and wants nothing more than to be judged for his crime. As Simon and his team struggle to understand their client and his motivations, they discover some crimes have explanations that defy simple judgment. But confronting flaws in a system that demands vengeance over mercy forces Koufax to face his own failures, his fractured family, and the question of whether redemption is possible. In a case where the only certainty is guilt, can twelve strangers find the courage to forgive?Unsettling and insightful, Albert's Time is a deeply realistic portrayal of a life-or-death sentencing in a capital murder trial. When Albert Birdsong confesses to a double murder, attorney Simon Koufax is assigned his defense. As Albert seeks a death sentence, Simon must confront the case-and his own guilt, failures, and need for redemption. This item is printed on demand.
