Author Description

I stepped back, turned around and started walking away. From behind me, I heard a shout: "He's stabbed me! He's stabbed me!" I had stabbed him. In one fluid moment, and almost without truly thinking about it, I had drawn my knife and plunged it into his body. In an instant, Dez Brown's life had inalterably changed direction. As he unintentionally ended the life of a stranger in a busy London park, Dez dived headlong into a downward spiral that would almost certainly lead to prison and a life in ruins. But another direction lay ahead. Dez came up against a force more powerful than he could ever imagine - one that would ask him to give up life as he knew it. As the justice system called him to account for his actions, could he trust the voice that seemed to be calling when all else around seemed dark? A gritty true story, written from the heart, Convicted or Condemned? is the sometimes dark but ultimately inspiring story of one man's journey to redemption.
