On June 28, 1972 in a South Bronx subway station, John Skagen, a white off-duty policeman on his way home, suddenly and without apparent provocation, ordered James Richardson, a black man on his way to work, to get against the wall and put his hands up. Richardson had a gun, and the two exchanged shots. In the melee that followed, Skagen was fatally wounded by a cop who rushed to the scene. In the ensuing trial, William Kunstler handled Richardson's defense and the author of this book, then assistant district attorney, prosecuted the case. Here is a first-hand, behind-the-scenes account of every step of the proceedings.
Written by the assistant district attorney who prosecuted the murder case described, an analysis of the American trial system as it operates today.

No Heroes, No Villains
I'd gotten this book at a local university's annual book sale, only knowing that it was based on a true murder trial from the early 70's. While I did finish it, I probably wouldn't have if it was a longer book (243 pages). It was written by the prosecutor in the case and focused on the legal aspects of the case and not the human aspect, which was too analytical for me.
