UK: Video available online of Amicus mock trial of US death penalty

The UK legal charity, Amicus, recently arranged a mock trial of the death penalty in the US for perverting the course of justice. Amicus works to provide legal representation to those awaiting capital trial and punishment as well as raising awareness about any rights violations that might arise. Two leading British criminal barristers cross examined witnesses with particular expertise and experience of the US justice system.
