DOES FREEDOM OF RELIGION MEAN FREEDOM TO KILL?Once named New Orleans' "Lawyer of the Year" for his work on a gruesome Louisiana 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 can never be ignored.Was it just another cold-blooded murder inthe Crescent City...or an arcane religious ritual protected by the Constitution?In three provocative vignettes blending sacred texts, courtroom testimony and cold hard facts, Triptych reveals just enough to ask, does religious freedom include freedom to kill?
