Last Moments: Sentenced to Death in Canada – Dale Brawn

Last Moments: Sentenced to Death in Canada  – Dale Brawn

Before capital punishment was abolished in 1962, more than 700 men and women were executed by hanging in Canada. Last Moments shines a light into a dark corner of a long and painful part of Canadian history that threatens to re-emerge. Here are dramatic stories of the characters whose final moments and last words were tragic, unpredictable, poignant, eccentric and often bizarre.
