About this title

Synopsis

In December of 2000, a young criminologist stared into the face of a serial killer as the man was executed. Unwittingly, the researcher became his own subject when he found himself emotionally unprepared for the brutality of capital punishment. A psychological crash, bordering on insanity, resulted as the author confronted his own feelings about life, death, and his religious faith. In The Execution of a Serial Killer: One Man s Experience Witnessing the Death Penalty, Dr. Diaz exposes the haunting mind of a deranged and violent serial killer and the origins of the criminal s deadly urges. He transports the reader to a front row seat inside the death chamber of the Florida State Prison, revealing how it feels to witness an execution, and challenging all to ask themselves, "Could I witness an execution?" This book tells the true story of the events that led to these two lives converging that night in Florida. It describes the life and the death of a serial killer, and the impact his execution had on a witness the killer never even knew.
