A reminder that Scott Turow's 2010 novel, Innocent, has been turned into a TNT movie, "Scott Turow's Innocent," premiere Tuesday, November 29, on the cable channel.
An earlier post has details. There will also be showings on December 2 and 3.
Turow is also the author of, Ultimate Punishment: A Lawyer's Reflections on Dealing with the Death Penalty. It's an excellent primer on capital punishment from a talented writer.
Ultimate Punishment is drawn from his service on the Illinois Governor's Commission on Capital Punishment. The Illinois Commission was appointed in 2000 by then-Governor George Ryan after he imposed a moratorium on executions. The Commission's report was issued in 2002. Earlier this year, with the moratorium still in place, Illinois replaced its death penalty with a sentence of life without parole.
