Triptych David Augustus Ball
Once named New Orleans’ “Lawyer of the Year” for his work on a gruesome murder case, David Augustus Ball rips the scab off the system and shows the strange underpinnings of an astonishing court decision based on an ancient and almost forgotten religion.
Triptych is the story of a lawyer who risked everything to defend a man who could not be defended and a religion whose commands cannot be ignored. Was it
just another cold-blooded murder in the Crescent City...or an arcane religious ritual protected by the Constitution?
In a book that blends sacred texts, courtroom testimony and told hard facts, Triptych asks, does religious freedom include freedom to kill?
