Families Of Murder Victims Speak Out Against The Death Penalty

BY RACHEL KING

Brief Description:
SECOND HAND COPY -tatty in dustjacket. The people whose stories appear in this book have chosen to forgive their loved ones' murderers, and many have developed personal relationships with the killers and have even worked to save their lives. They have formed a nationwide group, Murder Victims' Families for Reconciliation (MVFR), to oppose the death penalty. MVFR members are often treated as either saints or lunatics, but the truth is that they are neither. They are ordinary people who have responded to an extraordinary and devastating tragedy with courage and faith, choosing reconciliation over retribution, healing over hatred.

Rutgers University Press 2003 284 PP. Cloth
