I haven't read the book or seen the movie, but now that I know it's
apparently in accessible form, I'll have to check it out. I wonder if
Bookshare has it. If not, maybe Web Braille does.
I've never lost a family member to murder, but I had a very dear friend who
was murdered and probably raped by a 17-year-old boy back in 1993. I
wouldn't want the boy to receive the death penalty. It was painful to see
someone so young receive 25 years to life (which I think he deserved), and
to know that he'd basically thrown away his life, and unless a miracle
happens, he'll remain in prison. I often pray for him.
