Description

The book that helped free an innocent person who'd spent twenty seven years on death row. In January 1982, an aged white widow was found savagely murdered in the little city of Greenwood, Sc. Edward Lee Elmore was immediately arrested by police, a semiliterate, emotionally retarded black male without any prior prison report. His only link with the target was having washed her gutters and windows, but hardly three months following the victim’s body was discovered, he was tried, convicted, and sentenced to death. Elmore have been on death-row for eleven years whenever a young lawyer named Diana Holt first discovered of his situation. After joining the University of Texas School of Law, Holt was wanting to assist the voiceless and disenfranchised; she herself have been a childhood victim of mistreatment.
