Description
Second Hand Book
Robert Peter Tait was guilty of a horrible murder. Questions were raised over his punishment of hanging. Is there any place for the death penalty in an enlightened society? Do legal concepts of insanity lag dangerously behind scientific knowledge of the mind? What light does the case throw upon the relationship between executive and judiciary? The author examines with understanding but objectivity the many deeply felt issues of conscience which troubled all who thought about the Tait case.
