Sabine DA Disputes Sister Helen Prejean

The Shreveport Times reports that District Attorney Don Burkett, of the 11th Judicial District, believes Sister Helen Prejean's newest book belongs on the fiction shelf. The book, Death of Innocents, asserts that Dobie Gillis Williams and Joseph O'Dell were innocently executed. "I don't know whether she is deliberately trying to mislead the public or if she's being mislead by others. But she's wrong," Burkett said of Prejean's review of Williams' case.
