Professor Karen Morris reviewed the book "Billy" by Albert French at Writers and Books on January 19, 2005. The book raises issues of race discrimination in the criminal justice system and the appropriateness of applying the death penalty to juveniles. The latter issue is pending before the United States Supreme Court in the case of Roper v. Simpson. A decision is anticipated within the next few months.
