Summary: What constitutes guilty?
Comment: The issue discussed is not merely whether or not these people were guilty; the issue is the mismanagement of the crime lab in Oklahoma County. The DA appeared to know that Ms. Gilchrist was distorting facts and manipulating evidence, yet he was so intent on gaining a conviction, he participated in this travesty called the Oklahoma county judicial system. He should have been disbarred at the very least, and charged with criminal conspiracy. As a person who lives in this state but does not personally believe in the death penalty, I tried to read this with an open mind. Anti-death penalty advocates are not saying these criminals should be allowed to roam free in our society. They should absolutely be imprisoned for the remainder of their lives, so they can hurt no one else. DNA evidence lessens the chance of the "wrong" person being convicted, as long as it is used correctly. Surely even the strongest supporter of the death penalty has no desire to see innocent people put to death.

Summary: More Questions than Answers
Comment: Well, Boy Howdy, I just don't know what to think. This author has as much credibility as a kid caught with his hand in the cookie jar yet decrying his innocence of cookie-napping! He looked ole F. Lee right in the eye and swore he Never, Ever used the "N" word! And then we heard the tapes.
But yet, he did prod the Greenwich Police to action, albeit 20 years later, on Martha Moxley's murder.
I've lived in Oklahoma. I've heard of a lot of the folks in this book. I visited Old Sparky in L3. For most of the book, I wasn't sure what Fuhrman was trying to say or prove: something like: I'm a former (discreditted) cop and I believe in Law and Order and the Death Penalty but not when it involved Bad People like former Oklahoma County DA Bob Macy and forensic fakir Joyce Gilchrist. In the end, he says the Death Penalty should be abolished in Oklahoma and every other State, and the Federal government should reserve it only for treason, terrorism, and political assassination. His journey to this conclusion is convoluted and filled with more jarring "I" statements than an optometrist's office.

Summary: An eye-opening experience for an Okla. Native!
Comment: I wish I could make every Okla. Co. citizen read DEATH AND JUSTICE. It might not change their mind regarding the death penalty, but it surely rocks the foundation of sand their arguement stands on. This book should be read by every person who is interested in the death penalty (pro or con).
The only problem with the book is that if the reader is not familiar with criminal procedure, the book may seem a bit confusing at times. But, press through it! It all makes sense in the end!
