Sister Helen Prejean: Her Lies, Deceptions and/or
Astounding Willful Ignorance? - A Compilation
From: Dudley Sharp, independent researcher, death penalty expert, former opponent, 832-439-2113, Houston, Texas, CV at bottom
“Victims of Dead Men Walking”, by Detective Michael Varnado, in the Faith Hathaway rape/murder, a "Dead Man Walking" case, A very different picture of the killer and justice (1), concentrating on the victim and her survivors. (1).
From the Publisher: "Dead Family Walking: The Bourque Family Story of Dead Man Walking", by D.D. de Vinci, 2006.
"Dead Family Walking" reveals an explosive 1978 courtroom document that defies the ending of Sister Prejean's book (another Oprah guest) which potentially makes her use of the Lord's Prayer in her finale one of the most disrespectful profanations history will ever record, and certainly makes "Dead Man Walking" compete with James Frey's "Million Little Pieces" in their race towards deception."
"de Vinci wields your heart in the portrayal of a family's perpetual suffering resulting from a Catholic nun's (Prejean) prior relationship with an executed killer that inspired her exaggeration-filled book, "Dead Man Walking,", which the writer claims destroyed the lives of an American Family.
On November 5, 1977 the Bourque's teenage daughter, Loretta, was found murdered in a trash pile near the city of New Iberia, La, lying side-by-side near her boyfriend with three well-placed bullet holes behind each head.
"de Vinci's investigative research indicates that Prejean's book is not honest. (Dead Man Walking" murderer) Sonnier revealed shocking information about his relationship with Prejean that still stuns the New Iberia homicide detective to this day.
The Bourques got a raw deal from the Church and Prejean. They had to go through much pain and anguish. Sister Prejean has been using the Bourques for her anti-death penalty and got away with it!
