O knihe

In this book, we detail the true story of how convicted murderers
Richard Hickock and Perry Smith spent their last years on death
row trying to avoid their execution at the Kansas State
Penitentiary (now the Lansing Correctional Facility) - often referred
to as the Kansas death house. Our extensive research has revealed
many new and intriguing facts regarding the killers' capture, the
highly publicized murder trial, the many desperate attempts to have
their convictions overturned, and - finally - the day they paid the
ultimate price.
Much of this information has never before been compiled and
published. It's a fascinating tale - one that explores in great detail both
the workings of the criminal mind and the many ways in which our
legal system can be used to delay and deflect the best efforts of society
to exact rightful punishment for even the most heinous of crimes. The authors will dig deeper,
unearthing new information about the five
years convicted killers Richard "Dick" Hickock and Perry Edward
Smith spent on death row trying to appeal their convictions. The
book is based on the authors research at the Kansas Historical Society's state
archives, Kansas State Penitentiary official records, and other related
historical documentation preserved for review.
