“Dead Man Walking” by Sister Helen Prejean “Dead man walking” by Sister Helen Prejean At first I would like to say a few words about the authors biography and after that I will come to the story of the book which is completely different from the story of the film and in the end we will see a little excerpt of the German version of the film Sister Helen Prejean Sister Helen Prejean, the Author of dead man walking, was born on the 21st of April in 1939, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana and has lived and worked in Louisiana all her life. She joined the Sisters of St. Joseph in 1957. Her ministries have included teaching junior and senior high students. Involvement with poor inner city residents in the St. Thomas Housing Project in New Orleans in 1981 led her to prison ministry where she counseled death row inmates in the Louisiana State Penitentiary. She has accompanied three men to the electric chair and witnessed their deaths. Since then, she has devoted her energies to the education of the public about the death penalty by lecturing, organizing and writing. She also has befriended murder victims' families and she helped to found "Survive" a victims advocacy group in New Orleans. Currently, she continues her ministry to death row inmates and murder victims'. She also is a member of Amnesty International. The story In 1977, Patrick and his Brother Eddie had abducted a teenage couple, Loretta Bourque and David Le Blanc, from a lovers’ lane, raped the girl, forced them to lie face down and shot them into the head. It had taken a month to capture the killers. Pat was sentenced to death and his younger brother Eddie got a life sentence. In 1978, Chava Colon from the Prison Coalition asked Sister Helen to become a pen-pal to Elmo Patrick Sonnier called Pat , the death-row-inmate. In her first letter Sister Helen told him a little bit of her, where she was working and that she would keep on writing to him, even if he wouldn’t answer. But only a week later, she received a letter from Pat, saying that he would enjoy exchanging letters with her. So they soon became steady correspondents. Nobody thought that Pat would answer her letters because she wasn`t the first person trying to become his penpal but she was the first person getting an answer from him. Pat never talked in the letters about the dead the state had planned for him. He said he was glad that he had someone to communicate with, because he was so lonely. On the 15th of September 1982 they had their first meeting and Pat put her on his visiting list as a spiritual adviser so she could stay longer than relatives or friends and she even was allowed to witness the execution. After their meeting they continued to write and she visited him every month. She also started to visit Eddie, his younger brother. In July 1983 Pat called Sister Helen and told her that a guard had given him a paper called “Warrant of Execution in capital case” and on that paper he found the date of execution: 19th of August 1983. That was the second date for his executing and so he was sure that it was the last date, too, and he moved into the death-watch-cell. When she visited Eddie, Pats younger brother, he told her that he and not Pat killed the two teenagers. Then the fifth Circuit Court in New Orleans denied Patrick’s appeal and Helen called an attorney in Atlanta named Millard Farmer, who defended death-row-inmates. Millard told her a week later that he would help them and that he had reviewed Pat’s transcriptions and had prepared petitions for the fifth Circuit Court, for the US Supreme Court and for the governor. But the courts, the governor and also the pardon board found that clemency should be denied to Patrick Sonnier. Helen promised him that she would be there and that she would stay with him in the death- house until his execution. At that time Pat knew for sure that he was going to be killed by the state. At his execution he asked for forgiveness for what Eddie and he had done. After his dead Sister Helen organized Pat’s funeral and a lot of projects, discussions and protest marches to abolish the death-penalty. When Millard Farmer asked her if she would like to become a spiritual adviser for another death-row-inmate, she answered that she would do it, although she first thought she couldn’t do that another time. Robert Lee Willie, the death-row-inmate, and his friend Joseph Vaccaro had 1980 brutally raped the 18 year old girl, Faith Hathaway, stabbed her and left her to die in the woods. Shortly after the killing of Faith Hathaway, they had kidnapped a teenage couple and raped the girl. They had shot her boyfriend, so that he had been paralyzed from the chest down. Prior to these crimes, Willie had been involved into other violent crimes. Willie had been sentenced to death and Joseph had been given a life-sentence. Helen wrote her first letter to Willie and six month after Pat’s execution they had their first meeting. Sister Helen also started to visit Faith’ parents, but all that her parents wanted was the death of her child’s murderer. They hoped that, when Willie’s death would come, it would ease their pain and their loss. At least, they would have justice. Helen and Faith’s parents had different point of views, but they respected each other and their opinions. Willies petitions had all been denied and at that time Helen remembered the words the guards used to say, when a death-row-inmate was let out of his cell and was brought to his execution: Dead Man walking, and she knew that Willie would also be executed by the state. After the pardon board had denied his petition, Millard Farmer told her that there wouldn’t be another stay of execution for him, his date for the execution was settled for December 28th. She visited him every day when he moved to the death-house on Christmas eve and he seemed to accept his fate. But he wanted to make a polygraph-test to show his mother that he wasn’t guilty, that he didn’t kill Faith. He didn’t fail the test, but his responses had registered stress, but who wouldn’t show stress in this situation. Before his execution he said his last words to Faith’ parents that he hoped that they got some relief from his dead and he also said that killing is never right, neither for him and nor for the state. Then he was executed on the electric chair like Pat before. Sister Helen decided to become a spiritual adviser for other death-row-inmates and she would also give lectures, workshops and organize public demonstrations for the abolition of the death-penalty. .

It was also, not coincidentally, ten years to the month in which I first encountered Sister Helen. I had represented Willie in seeking certiorari from the United States Supreme Court in late 1983 to review his conviction and sentence, which was all I had originally agreed to do on his behalf. But when I learned that if I did not continue to represent him, there would likely be no one to represent him in his first state post-conviction and federal habeas corpus proceedings, I felt I could not walk away.

Batey: Reflections on the Needle: Poe, Baze, Dead Man Walking REFLECTIONS ON THE NEEDLE: POE, BAZE, DEAD MAN WALKING Robert Batey* The goal of most of the “Law and . .” movements is to bring the perspective of the humanities to legal issues. Literature and film, for examples, can cause one to envision such issues afresh. Sometimes this viewing from a new angle is premeditated, but sometimes it sneaks up on you. During a recent fall semester my colleague, Kristen Adams, asked that I speak to Stetson’s Honors Colloquium1 on a law and literature topic.2 The only date we could work out was Halloween, and so Professor Adams and I laughingly agreed that Edgar Allan Poe would be an appropriate choice. Dipping into Poe’s stories (all of which seem to be online), I immediately sensed their resonance with the law of capital punishment, another of my academic interests.3 The Fall of the House of Usher seemed filled with images of the death house.

  • Dead Man Walking Tells the Story of Sister Helen Prejean, Who Establishes a Special Relationship with Matthew Poncelet, a Prisoner on Death Row
    Dead Man Walking tells the story of Sister Helen Prejean, who establishes a special relationship with Matthew Poncelet, a prisoner on death row. Matthew Poncelet has been in prison six years, awaiting his execution by lethal injection for killing a teenage couple. He committed the crime in company with Carl Vitello, who received life imprisonment as a result of being able to afford a better lawyer. The film consolidates two different people (Elmo Patrick Sonnier and Robert Lee Willie) whom Prejean counseled on death row into one character, as well as merging Prejean in Cambridge, Mass. in Sept. 2000 their crimes and their victims' families into one event. In 1981, she started working with convicted murderer Elmo Patrick Sonnier, who was sentenced to death by electrocution. Sonnier had received a sentence of death in April 1978 for the November 5, 1977 rape and murder of Loretta Ann Bourque, 18, and the murder of David LeBlanc, 17. He was executed in 1984. The account is based on the inmate Robert Lee Willie who, with his friend Joseph Jesse Vaccaro, raped and killed 18- year-old Faith Hathaway in May 1980, eight days later kidnapping a couple from a wooded lovers' lane, raping the 16-year-old girl, Debbie Morris, and then stabbing and shooting her boyfriend, 20-year-old Mark Brewster, leaving him tied to a tree paralyzed from the waist down. Willie was executed in 1984. She has been the spiritual adviser to several convicted murderers in Louisiana, and accompanied them to their electrocutions. St. Anthony Messenger says “you could call her the Mother Teresa of Death Row.” After watching Elmo Patrick Sonnier executed in 1984, she said, “I couldn't watch someone being killed and walk away.

  • W Mark the Evangelist: Our Life Is Hidden with Christ in God in 1995, a Gripping and Extraordinarily Moving
    Mark the Evangelist: Our Life is hidden with Christ in God In 1995, a gripping and extraordinarily moving film was made called Dead Man Walking. The screenplay was by the director Tim Robbins, and the film starred Susan Sarandon and Sean Penn. It drew its inspiration from a book of the same title by Sister Helen Prejean, a Roman Catholic nun. Written in 1993, the book recounted something of her remarkable befriending of and ministry to those on death row in the United States. The central character in the film, Matthew Poncelet, is a composite one, combining the real-life personages of two prisoners, both convicted of murder: Elmo Patrick Sonnier and Robert Lee Willie. For dramatic purposes, this composite character works really well in the film. What matters is that we get a real insight into what it’s like on death row, into what lies behind violent crime, into the pain and suffering caused, both to victim and perpetrator alike, as well as to the rest of society. We often find today that when a book or a film is based on actual historical occurrences, the names of people or the details of the stories are changed, largely to protect the identities of those involved. As a result, if’s often possible to lose sight of what’s historical and what’s fictional. This isn’t a new problem; it’s been around for a long time. Stories and characters get changed over the course of time, such that it becomes almost impossible to determine what’s real and what’s made-up.

  • We Are Grateful Sister Helen Prejean Visits Melba’S
    February 2020 Melba’s eatatmelbas.com We are grateful Sister Helen Prejean visits Melba’s ister Helen Prejean is known around the world for her tireless work against the death penalty. She has been instrumental in sparking national dialogue Son capital punishment and in shaping the Catholic Church’s vigorous opposition to all executions. Born on April 21, 1939, in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, she joined the Sisters of St. Joseph in 1957. After studies in the USA and Canada, she spent the following years teaching high school, and serving as the Religious Education Director at St. Frances Cabrini Parish in New Orleans and the Formation Director for her religious community. In 1982, she moved into the St. Thomas Housing Project in New Orleans in order to live and work with the poor. While there, Sister Helen began corresponding with Patrick Sonnier, who had been sentenced to death for the murder of two teenagers. Two years later, when Patrick Sonnier was put to death in the electric chair, Sister Helen was there to witness his execution. In the following months, she became spiritual advisor to another death row inmate, Robert Lee Willie, who was to meet the same fate as Sonnier. After witnessing these executions, Sister Helen realized that this lethal ritual would remain unchallenged unless its secrecy was stripped away, and so she sat down and wrote a book, Dead Man Walking: An Eyewitness Account of the Death Penalty in the United States. Dead Man Walking hit the shelves when national support for the death penalty was over 80% and, in Sister Helen’s native Louisiana, closer to 90%.

Introduction On New Year’s Eve 1997, in Victoria, British Columbia, Bob McIntosh and two of his friends decided to check in on a loud party going on at the home of some friends who were out of town. When the door was opened, one youth punched Bob in the face so hard that Bob fell and lost consciousness. The young men proceeded to kick Bob while he was down, literally beating him to death. Five years later, Bob’s wife Katy produced a video in which she described her life and the lives of their twin children since that day. Police showed the video to one of the suspects, Ryan Aldridge, who broke down and confessed to his role in the killing. Ryan then wrote a letter to Katy and the twins in which he took responsibility for his part in Bob’s death. The next morning, police brought Katy to meet Ryan. Katy finally had the opportunity to ask Ryan what happened that night. As Katy left the building, she noticed that Ryan was sobbing and said, “I wanted to make it OK for him.” In the Spring 2003, Katy began attending meetings of the Victim Offender Mediation program of Community Justice Initiatives. Today, Katy Hutchinson makes presentations at schools addressing the dangers of unsupervised parties.
