Sister Helen Prejean BBC Hardtalk (video) on death penalty

BBC Hardtalk interview with Sister Helen Prejean
Tuesday, 28 February 2006

This is a must see interview.

Sister Helen Prejean is a Catholic nun on a twenty year campaign against the death penalty. Sister Prejean was the inspiration for the book
"Dead man walking".

"from the interview "only poor people get the death penalty...80% of death penalties are in the 10 states that had slavery-- among them 87% of executions happen when you kill a white person."


She goes on to speak of Bush (152 executions, more than any other governor in history) ...and much more.
