“The law and the people during the nineteenth century in Greece were both active authors of history who composed the social reality. What appeared as an impasse in their relationship ended up as a mutual recognition of a common dominant route of legality. Deschamps mentioned that by the end of the nineteenth century the criminal justice system of Greece had reached European standards. The point of ‘due process’ was the law’s final yet dynamic destination. Because ‘due process’ happened to be and always is ‘the guarantee that legal institutions (and legal practices) can be turned into museums of unnecessary, unjust, undeserved pain and death.’ The guillotine, however, was never accepted as a means of execution and eventually it was sent to the museum of penal history. The death penalty itself followed the same path. In fact, we continue to seek answers through this history; and through narrative we continue to return to that remote yet present source of social trauma, which has sharpened our social sensibilities and has shaped our collective consciousness.”
