Daniel P. Smith graduated summa cum laude from Vanderbilt University with a BA in English and French. A member of the Phi Beta Kappa Society, he received law degrees from both the Vanderbilt University School of Law and the New York University School of Law. While in law school, he was associate editor of the Vanderbilt Law Review, which published his article on the constitutionality of electronic surveillance orders in the context of criminal cases.
Victims of Dead Man Walking, coauthored by Detective Michael Varnado, tells the true story of Faith Hathaway, a young Louisiana woman brutally murdered by Robert Lee Willie. Unlike Sr. Helen Prejean's Dead Man Walking, which focuses on Willie, Smith and Varnado's book recounts the details of the case from the point of view of the innocent victims' families. It takes on a side of the debate that was neglected in both Dead Man Walking and the film of the same name, starring Sean Penn as the criminal awaiting the
death penalty.
Smith is currently a lawyer and freelance writer based in Nashville, Tennessee, where he lives with his wife and children. He is skilled in a variety of languages, including Spanish and German.
