In 1984, John Thompson was convicted and sentenced to death for the murder of a prominent white man in New Orleans, Louisiana. He was sent to Angola Prison and confined to his cell for 23 hours a day. However, Thompson adamantly proclaimed his innocence and just needed lawyers who believed that his trial had been mishandled and would step up to the plate against the powerful DA’s office. But who would fight for Thompson’s innocence when he didn’t have an alibi for the night of the murder and there were two key witnesses to confirm his guilt?

Politisches und militärisches Totalversagen, aber ein kulturhistorisches Vermächtnis von Weltrang – auf diesen Nenner bringt der britische Historiker Tim Blanning die Lebensbilanz von August dem Starken, Kurfürst von Sachsen und König von Polen.
