The book is unique insofar as it addresses many of the nuances associated with a topic that, for many, is isolated to the action taken by Governor Ryan to empty Illinois's death row in January 2003."--Beau Breslin, Skidmore College "Forgiveness, Mercy, and Clemency is a welcome addition to our understanding of the political and legal world.
