Negative Positive
Title: More courtroom drama than true crime book
Review: If you enjoy reading a detailed summary of a court trial, this is your book. Otherwise, don't bother. A full 50% of the book is committed to the trial and sentencing. There was simply nothing unique or outstanding about the trial that made it worthy of taking up a full 50% of the book. Everything relevant to the crime and victim is known by the time the arrest is made and the trial starts. Everything after that is filler.
