description: On November 19, 1982, a little after 11 pm, three young men crashed a high school victory party for the football team, attempting to force their way in. Eugene Sylve, wanting only to protect his wife, five children, and invited guests, accidentally shot and killed one of the intruders. Left in the hands of a negligent lawyer, he was plea-bargained to life behind bars. In June of 1986, Sylve's case came to the attention of investigator June Cornelison. Already saddled with an overwhelming caseload, Cornelison was reluctant to take on more work, but one meeting with Sylve convinced her that she needed to unravel the truth about what happened on the night of his arrest. My Soul from Death is a story of faith, endurance, and ultimately jubilation.
