About Time: Surviving Ireland's Death Row

by Peter Pringle

Law and justice are not always one and the same. On the 27 November 1980, Peter Pringle waited in an Irish court to hear the following 'Peter Pringle, for the crime of capital murder. . . the law prescribes only one penalty, and that penalty is death.' The problem was that Peter did not commit this crime. Facing a sentence of death by hanging, Peter sought the inner strength and determination to survive. When his sentence was changed to forty years without remission he set out to prove his innocence. Fifteen years later, he is finally a free man. This is his story.

The world is full of injustice , inefficiency and corruption when it comes to criminal convictions especially for innocent victims due to police planting false evidence to secure a conviction . Every police force in the world does this , especially the US and Ireland is no exception . Wrongful convictions are in most cases overturned after many years with the real offenders escaping conviction.
