The Injustice System is due to be published in November by Viking. It's available for pre-order from Amazon.
It's the subject of the Digital Journal OpEd, "Clive Stafford Smith — The Baron Münchhausen of Death Row," by Alexander Baron.
When we hear the word fanatic, most of us think of some wide-eyed individual, perhaps holding a bomb or wearing a suicide vest. At best, we think of someone who not only won't change his mind but can't change the subject. There are though, fanatics who speak, apparently, with the voice of quiet reason. An impeccably English accent helps the deception, especially when addressing an American audience.
Clive Stafford Smith is one of these latter types of fanatics. He is given three pages in the latest issue of the New Humanist magazine to talk about his new book and sound off at the wicked American criminal justice system, with especial reference to the death penalty. Here, as in this short presentation, he sounds very persuasive.
