A Report on the Injustice in the Application of the Death Penalty in Missouri (1978-1996)(Microsoft Word document)
Researchers from Missouri and New York found that about one of every 100 homicides in Missouri resulted in a death sentence during that 18-year period. Race of the victim and race plus socio-economic status of the defendant were found to be great indicators of who ultimately received a death sentence.

    The Mid-Missouri FOR presents, "Hope Rises from the Ashes of My Lai" beginning at 3:00 p.m., Sunday, 26 October in the Friends Room of the Daniel Boone Regional Library. Vietnam veteran Mike Boehm of Madison
    Wisconsin, will show a slide presentation, film and lead discussion of current peace and reconciliation projects in Vietnam. This program is free and open to the public.

    The acclaimed documentary "The Sound of the Violin in My Lai," produced for the 30th anniversary of the massacre, will also be shown as part of the program. Boehm has traveled to Vietnam a dozen times to help
