At one time in his life Richard Wood was a United States Probation officer. Wood noticed a lot of the people he worked with were doing too much time for the wrong crimes. Working in such an unfair justice system became a burden so he decided it was time for a change.
Now a Death Penalty Mitigation Specialist, Wood’s profession is quite interesting. His job includes investigating and providing an extensive and well-documented social and psychological history of his clients.
The information he finds is used to prove his client has some sort of abnormal mental behavior or disorder. His findings help explain how someone's abnormal behavior may affect the client’s ability to control their actions.
Some might say Wood’s career is bad for the community because of the fact that he is defending criminals — who more so than not have done horrible things to people and at times feel no remorse. He does not see his job this way. He sees it as assuring that every person receiving their right to a good defense, especially if they have an issue psychologically that has caused them to do something that hurt another person.
