Blood & Truth The true story of a lie

Book 328 pages Text + documentation This book tells the true story of Paul William Scott, unjustly sentenced to death and currently incarcerated on Florida’s death row since 40 years. In October of 1979, Paul William Scott was sentenced to death in the electric chair of the state of Florida for the Boca Raton, Florida murder of James Alessi. Mr. Rick Kondian, who committed the offense, turned himself in to Palm Beach County, Florida authorities, claiming self defense. The murder weapon, Kondian stated, had been an unopened bottle of Dom Perignon Champagne. Rick Kondian is left handed and he had a 5 stitch cut on his left index finger from the wire cap around the bottle, leaving little doubt as to who actually bludgeoned the victim and with what weapon. Embarrassment of the blunders they undeniably made, the circle of attorneys, judges and lawmakers of the state of Florida continue to press for the death of Paul William Scott. And they will not be content, it appears, until that high-voltage electric chair has taken the final beat from Paul William Scott’s brave heart.
