Academic Disaster:
U of Richmond, Law Professor Corinna Barrett Lain, U of Richmond Law Review, as other law reviews, & U of Richmond School of Law: A Compilation
by Dudley Sharp, independent researcher, (pro) death penalty expert, former opponent, 832-439-2113, CV at bottom
To all at U of Richmond, the book tours, law reviews and all others, as detailed in 1a,b,c, below
Preface
With research, fact checking and vetting, very obvious and easy critical thinking finds that Lain, only, included that which would promote an anti-death penalty script, which is how she, easily and constantly, left out everything which contradicted her book, as per her book tour and the book reviews. Obvious and, easily, confirmed, as throughout my writings and not rebutted.
Classic anti-death penalty FEMS (fraud, error and/or mis-directions), as detailed, the example the University is setting for their students and for academia.
How did the University make it worse?:
Instead of condemnation, The U of Richmond School of Law and Law Review doubled down with a public symposium "Advancing Abolition: Anti-Death Penalty Advocacy in Regressive Times" on Oct 3, 2025 featuring Profs Bergen and Lain, previously rebutted, as well known by those institutions.
The ethics lesson for students and academia could not be worse. Intentional and obvious.
(If you would like me to rebut and/or clarify the symposium speakers, let me know where you will publish that, within the university's publications)

2) This, below, will be helpful, if fact checking and vetting is of interest in future death penalty topics and rebuts some of the other, non execution methods, references from Lain's book, book tour and book reviews:
Research, w/sources, w/fact checking/vetting & critical thinking, as required of everyone in a public policy debate and which rebut all anti-death penalty claims.
Partial CV The media/academic norm is to use anti-death penalty material, refuse to fact check or vet it and avoid all pro-death penalty research and experts, or act as if that is the case. How will you know that is true? You haven't seen this material, prior.
