invite you to join us in honoring David Wymore* at a special
fundraiser screening of
The Life Penalty
a feature length documentary film
about David Wymore and the Colorado Method of Jury Selection
which just had its world premiere at the Boulder International Film
Festival
How did a rebel public defender from Boulder, Colorado throw a monkey
wrench into America's "death machine"? Slip into a juror’s seat as
David Wymore and other nationally recognized criminal defense
attorneys bring their fight against the death penalty to the front
line: the courtroom. Casting a revelatory and often uncomfortable
light on our justice system, The Life Penalty shakes the ethical and
moral foundations of capital punishment in the contemporary United
States.
The film is for general audiences as well as attorneys, and for
attorneys attending 2 CLE credits have been applied for.
Proceeds will go to the David Wymore College of Criminal Defense and
Jury Selection to help fund training and provide other resources to
lawyers and law students.

*David Wymore served as a public defender in Colorado for 28 years,
and as Chief Trial Deputy had primary responsibility for defending
capital cases. He has handled over 100 death penalty cases, 7 of
which went to trial; none of his clients received the death penalty
and some were acquitted. Along the way he and other attorneys
developed the Colorado Method of Jury Selection, which helps to
select a jury that is more likely to impose a life sentence. More
recently, with co-counsel Maria Liu, he was successful in freeing Tim
Masters, who served 10 years in prison after being wrongfully
convicted of First Degree Murder in Fort Collins.
