Review # 1 was written on 2021-01-25 00:00:00 Johnny Mills Good and interesting read, good for any true crime fan. Not a fault of the book at all, but I wanted to throw it out the window because of how shitty the defense attorneys are. Ugh.

Review # 2 was written on 2015-07-06 00:00:00 John Becanitch Here is a quote from the book that pretty wells sums it up: In such an adversarial context, the search for truth can quickly degenerate into a matter of strategy, tactics, spins, and bluffs. Ultimately it becomes something of a game, each side intent on victory rather than finding out what really happened and why. Perhaps such a system can uncover some of the truth, but rarely will it uncover the "whole truth." As each side highlights only "facts" that support the result it seeks, all too often elements of the truth fall through the cracks. This is our judicial system and if you want to read about the reality of one case then I would recommend this book to you.
