Jacques Fesch in Saint-Germain-en-Laye, Yvelines (78)


Jacques Fesch (1930–57) was condemned to death for theft while carrying a firearm in 1954, followed by the death of a policeman. Whilst in prison he became a Christain mystic, and is in the current process of beatification. His complete works (close on 600 pages) were published in 2015. The only comment I have to make about this is that I am, and always have been, totally opposed to capital punishment.
