Abstract:
Convicted of armed robbery, Martin was facing the death penalty. Terrified that his son would be sentenced to die, Phillip made a sacrifice to spare his son the ultimate punishment. Ironically, his suicide presented Martin with another chance at life; the jury, moved by Martin's loss, spared his life. This book chronicles Phillip's story.
