One person wrongly convicted and sentenced to death is one too many for Sister Helen Prejean, author of a new book, “The Death of Innocents: An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions.” Prejean will be speaking Tuesday in Anderson and discussing the reasons why the current death penalty should be suspended, said Kathleen “Kitty” Zink, a co-chair for the St. Mary’s Catholic Church Social Justice group. The group is sponsoring Prejean’s visit.
She will speak at 10 a.m. in Reardon Auditorium to Anderson University students then again in a public presentation at 7 p.m. in the Anderson City Auditorium. According to Chris Williams, director of university communications at AU, the public is also invited to the Tuesday morning presentation during the students’ chapel time.
I do not know if I will be able to attend but if anyone does who reads this, please let me know how it goes.
