Frustrating
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
I really enjoy non-fiction and this book didn't disappoint, but the outcome did! Over-zealous prosecutors are one thing, but bumbling law-enforcement personnel and procedures, judicial misconduct, media irresponsibility, and inefficient defense result in a real travesty. Murder trials based on circumstantial evidence should have ironclad standards and ASAP automatic review by a higher court. I'm still looking for an update as of 10/09.
Awesome -- 1st Rate -- True-Crime Buff's Dream
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is one of, if not, THE best true-crime book I've read. . . and, believe me, I've read almost all of them. What a page-turner!!! Finally a true-crime book that doesn't give away the ending, but let's you see the engrossing tale spin out before you. Just when you think you know all of the secrets of the Benson family, another one appears. . . and you can't stop reading and wanting for more. I was so intrigued by the book (and the author's gripping writing style) that I did some legal research to see how the various court cases involved in the story were resolved. A true-crime buff's dream!!!!!
