DiSalle was not necessarily against the death penalty for murder, but had advocated that poorer defendants did not have the access to counsel that defendants with money had resulting in less prepared, potentially ineffective counsel. He is quoted in the book Mercy on Trial: What It Means to Stop an Execution by Austin Sarat as saying "No one who has never watched the hands of a clock marking the last minutes of a condemned man's existence, knowing that he alone has the temporary Godlike power to stop the clock, can realize the agony of deciding an appeal for executive clemency." He is also the author of "Second Choice" a history of the Vice Presidency.
