Deadly Innocence? by Robert Perske

Beginning with the story of Joe Arridy, certified as a feeble-minded imbecile who was executed in Colorado in 1939, Deadly Innocence? traces political and judicial handling of incidents involving persons with retardation; describes similar current cases; and offers suggestions for action on the part of the police, the courts, professionals who work in the field of developmental disabilities, and concerned citizens.
