Bessler, John D.

SUMMARY

"A little over half of the book focuses on 19th-century laws and trials and while there are plenty of interesting anecdotes--botched executions, the role of phrenology, gag laws aimed to prevent newspapers from reporting on executions, etc.--it suffers from a numbing redundancy as Bessler goes through state after state comparing statutes and court rulings.Bessler, John D. is the author of 'Death in the Dark Midnight Executions in America' with ISBN 9781555533571 and ISBN 1555533574.
