Pro Death Penalty Legal Scholars:

I just received the very interesting new book, [1]Death Penalty
Stories, part of the Foundation Press series of subject-specific
essays by different scholars on important cases in the field. It looks
excellent, and I look forward to reading it. Looking through the
chapters, though, it occurred to me that nearly all the chapters were
written by scholars who are noted death penalty opponents.
This led me to wonder: Who are the legal scholars who write on the
death penalty on a regular or semi-regular basis but who not write
from the perspective of opposition to the death penalty? [2]Stuart
Banner might be one: I've only skimmed [3]his book on the death
penalty, but it struck me as largely neutral in tone. Are there
others? I realize that most legal scholars who write on the death
penalty are against it; I'm just curious about who the outliers are.
