They're Going to Kill My Son

A man he didn't know, a murder he didn't see,
a death sentence he doesn't deserve

by Shirley Dicks

A brave, anguished mother uses every means possible to save her young son from the electric chair after he is arrested, tried and convicted for a robbery he didn't see and a murder he didn't commit. Though the original case has been overturned, it is a battle which continues to this day.

"Shockingly brings home the best argument against capital punishment."
— Library Journal

"Convincing...Readers are likely to agree that Jeff's death sentence is not just."
— Publishers Weekly
