Billy Wayne Sinclair was only 21 when he noticed the Louisiana judge pronounce these words: "I hereby sentence you to loss of life in the electric couch." It was the culmination of any botched holdup determined the entire year before where Billy had inadvertently shot and wiped out a guy. Billy spent the next 40 years in Angola Prison - one of the country's most severe - six of those years on loss of life row. When in 1972 the Supreme Court struck down the loss of life charges as arbitrary and capricious, Billy was re-sentenced to life without parole. Finally released in 2006, he now examines the loss of life charges in great depth, from ancient background - an eyesight for an eyesight and a teeth for a teeth - for this. Informed by his own experience and his decades-long studies, this book offers important info about, and insights into, a subject that is as heated and questionable today as it ever before was.
