I know a man named Angel who spent 21 years in prison for a murder he didn’t commit. During his incarceration, both his mother and the mother of his children died and he exhausted all his appeals. He was fated to die in prison without any chance of parole.

THE hanging of an innocent man is of course the most cogent argument of all against the death penalty.

A new book on recently pardoned Harry Gleeson, who was hanged for a murder he didn’t commit, is causing major controversy because it names the fathers of the children of the murder victim.

The framing of Harry Gleeson was a shameful episode in the history of Irish criminal justice.
