Recenzii

“A blistering, well-annotated critique. . . . both passionate and eloquent.”—Publishers Weekly starred review

“Death-penalty supporters—and opponents, for that matter—who do not read this unique insider’s account of capital punishment as a capricious and nearly broken-down system will lay themselves open to the charge that they don’t know what they’re talking about.”—Kirkus Reviews

“Mello separates himself from others who have written about death row. He is visceral, not cerebral . . . One of the nation’s most passionate post-conviction lawyers.”—Colman McCarthy, The Nation

"Michael Mello is a poet, a storyteller, a wordsmith, and, thank God, a lawyer. Dead Wrong is an incisive, probing examination of life, death, and the law, at once wickedly funny, heart-wrenchingly human, and surgically precise. This is a book written in blood."—Mike Farrell, actor and president of California Death Penalty Focus
