Federal District Judge Michael Ponsor, author of The Hanging Judge, the first legal thriller to describe a death penalty case from the perspective of the presiding judge, will speak at the Library at 7:00 p.m.

Possibly no novelist is more qualified to write from this unprecedented point of view than Ponsor, an experienced federal trial judge who himself presided over a rare death penalty trial in Springfield.  He draws not only on his knowledge of court proceedings in The Hanging Judge , but also from history, weaving a deft parallel between the fictional United States v. Hudson case and the real-life 1805 case of Dominic Daley and James Halligan, two Catholics who, in a time of great anti-Catholic sentiment in Massachusetts, were convicted of murder and sentenced to death following a blatantly unfair trial presided over by two corrupt judges determined to see the defendants hanged.

Even with capital punishment being such a controversial issue, readers of all political persuasions should be able to enjoy the novel.  Rather than taking a position on either side of the issue, The Hanging Judge tries only to describe how the process really works, according to Ponsor, “or at least how I have observed it to work.  I do believe,” he adds,” that it is not possible to have a system of capital punishment without from time to time, executing someone who in fact did not commit the crime he or she is being executed for.  Human beings and human-made systems are fallible.  This fact has to be acknowledged in any discussion of capital punishment.  Once that fact is recognized, it will then be possible to have an honest discussion about whether the death penalty is worth the cost.”

Ponsor will speak about his background, how he came to write the novel, and the book itself.  He will read several selections from the book, answer questions from the audience, and sign his book.  Copies will be available for sale.

Ponsor graduated from Harvard University, received a Rhodes Scholarship, and studied for two years at Pembroke College, Oxford.  After receiving his law degree from Yale University and clerking in federal court in Boston, he began his legal career, specializing in criminal defense.  He moved to Amherst in 1978 where he practiced as a trial attorney in his own firm until his appointment in 1984 as U.S. magistrate judge in Springfield.  In 1994, President Clinton appointed him a life-tenured U.S. district judge.  From 2000 to 2001, he presided over a five-month death penalty trial, the first in Massachusetts in more than 50 years.  Judge Ponsor continues to serve as a senior U.S. district judge in the United States District Court for the District of Massachusetts, Western Division, with responsibility for federal criminal and civil cases in the four counties of western Massachusetts.

Supported by the Friends of the Middleborough Public Library, the event is free and open to the public.

Please note that the event will be held in the Reference Room and will continue on past the library’s normal operating hours.  Doors will close at 8:00 p.m., as usual, while the event is scheduled to end at 8:30 p.m. 

A newly released to DVD movie will be shown on the big screen in the program room. Families are invited to join us for this chilly Disney adventure on film! Snacks and water are provided. Feel free to bring snacks of your own. This program is free and no registration is needed.

Monthly Meeting

Middleborough Cultural Council will be presenting grants during a reception for the recipients and guests.  All are welcomed to attend.  

Monthly meeting

This is the third facilitated meeting of the Region 5 Health and Medical Coordinating Coalitions. This initiative is being brought forward by the MA Department of Public Health Office of Preparedness and Emergency Management and will help prepare the Commonwealth for emergency situations.  For more information, please visit www.bu.edu/sph-coalitions.  Boston University School of Public Health is contracted with the Commonwealth to plan and facilitated these meetings.

"These multidisciplinary HMCC will carry out the functions of healthcare coalitions as described in the documents Healthcare Preparedness Capabilities released by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Assistant Secretary for Preparedness and Response (ASPR) and Public Health Preparedness Capabilities as released by the U.S. Department of health and Human Services Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Development of these HMCC will simultaneously respond to changing national priorities and fill a critical gap in the current system in Massachusetts that exists because of a general lack of functioning county government or other regional infrastructure. During an emergency, the HMCC will serve a multi-agency coordination function for agencies within a region, providing for more efficient coordination of health and medical activities under Emergency Support Function 8 (ESF-8) across all phases of the disaster cycle: preparedness, response, recovery, and mitigation."
