Prejean, Helen--Pictorial works.

Framed drawing presented to Sr. Helen Prejean by the Chicago Committee to defend the Bill of Rights and Bill of Rights Foundation. A typewritten note taped to the back of the framed drawing reads as follows. "From Death of Innocents, pg. 25: But remember, the size of the bathroom window, through which the killer supposedly entered and exited, one foot eight inches by eleven inches. Mr. Kipper's testified that the lock on the window was broken, but that neither he nor his wife were worried about it, because it was so small...and high up off the ground. The frame of this drawing has been made exactly the dimensions of the Knippers' bathroom window."
