Cardozo Journal of Conflict Resolution
Abstract
Adam Lawson sat in shackles, cradling his head in his hands, rocking back and forth. He was waiting in the State Attorney's Office in Jacksonville, Florida, preparing to meet the Liles family, whose matriarch had been the victim of a home invasion and homicide he committed over a year earlier. Mr. Lawson was charged with capital murder, and his case was the third in a series of attempted mediations in death-eligible criminal cases by the State Attorney for Florida's Fourth Judicial Circuit.
