The Death of Innocents addresses the new moral edge of the debate on capital punishment: What if we're killing the wrong person? By using the withheld evidence to reconstruct the crimes for which two men were convicted, Prejean shows how race, prosecutorial ambition, poverty, election cycles, and publicity play far too great a role in determining who dies and who lives. Account is given of a justice system rife with error and misjudgement.

Prejean takes us with her on her spiritual journey as she accompanies two possibly innocent human beings to their deaths at the hands of the state. Can anyone argue about the injustice of executing the innocent?

Watch a 5-minute video about Helen Prejean's ministry of reconciliation.
