Two Very Different Death Penalty Defendants

By Dan Gorenstein on Thursday, April 10, 2008.

The two defendants in New Hampshire facing the death penalty couldn’t be more different.

There’s John Brooks, a white millionaire who’s charged with plotting and hiring men to kill an associate.

Then there’s Michael Addison, an indigent black man, who is charged with shooting a Manchester police officer.

New Hampshire Public Radio’s Dan Gorenstein reports on whether money, race and class may shape the outcome of these two cases.
