| Minister and social activist, born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA. After achieving success as a businessman, he entered Princeton Theological Seminary (1979) and as student chaplain at Trenton State Prison, he came into contact with death-row prisoners. Founding Centurion Ministries in Princeton, NJ (1983), he dedicated himself to freeing prisoners he was convinced had been unjustly sentenced. Using old-fashioned detective work, he co-ordinated the successful appeals of a growing number of prisoners condemned to long sentences or death. |
