has argued to save a convicted murderer's life, and 19 times she has
succeeded.
Come to hear her answer to the perennial question, "How can you defend
these people?"
Angel of Death Row: My Life as a Death Penalty Defense Lawyer is the
harrowing memoir of the first woman in the United States to head a death
penalty defense team.
