Until that moment it presents a Spanish language interpreter's continuous struggle for emotional survival during a 2001 Los Angeles Superior Court death penalty trial. The author-interpreter must repeat into Spanish every word of testimony for the two defendants and thereby relive in stereo the horror of two of the most shocking domestic violence murders of California history. \u003cp\u003eThe only way the interpreter can keep his battered emotions at bay during testimony is by recalling his own delightful youth and adolescence. This defense mechanism eventually turns to rage against the defendant. It then can only be appeased by striking out against domestic violence.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe death penalty, man's reason to live, defendant Marco Barrera's worst nightmares, and justice itself all cry out for a helping hand. The final resolution is a surreal attempt to desperately recover life and innocence and return them to their proper owners, mankind and children. The ultimate demand for true justice will constantly provoke your laughter, tears, and deepest thoughts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Dwight Neumann\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 059528938X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780595289387\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e iUniverse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/09\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 208\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 5.92w x 0.56d","brand":"Dwight Neumann","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48435522633983,"sku":"9780595289387","price":14.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_50aae1eb-6806-4282-a144-13b48e334fe6.jpg?v=1777150935","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-destroyer-of-innocents-dwight-neumann-9780595289387","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
