Title: Fascinating, Riveting but depressing-----
Review: true life story of a black man unjustly accused and sentenced to die for the murder of a young white woman in a small town in Alabama. I have been through Bay Minette several times and could relate to the environment where the trial occurred. If I didn't know better I would think this case occurred 100 years ago; alas, it did not; I found myself struggling to continue reading the book because of the fact it was so very sad and horrifying. The incompetence, the lies, the coverup, so they could get this poor innocent black man convicted of murder. thank God for men like Mr. Stevenson- I guess my only surprise was that they never found the true killer- one is left to guess who did it, I guess. Does anyone have any update as to if they ever found the killer of these women?
Is the review positive or negative?
