This was the first time I've read a Grisham novel and the first time I've read non-fiction in quite awhile. The sad part is that if this were a work of fiction I would have probably stopped reading it because it just seems ridiculous. By this, I mean the way two murder cases were "solved" in the United States in the eighties. Twenty years ago and the justice system pretty much worked in a similar manner to the inquisition in Europe. Should I be surprised? Probably not. I do remember the O.J. Simpson trial pretty well. Should I be appalled? Certainly. This is a real eye-opener to one blind side of the justice system. Far removed from technicalities that allow murderers, rapists, and child molesters to walk the streets as free citizens lies the other dark side where people are convicted on circumstantial evidence if any. This book and the story behind it are eye opening and fantastic. I highly recommend this.
