BEYOND A REASONABLE DOUBT

Hardback. The true story of a brutal triple murder, and - perhaps - about the murderers. It is about crime, and about law, and about the people of the streets. It is about how the system of justice does or doesn't work. In Washington, D.C., police responded to a worried phone call and discovered 3 dead bodies and no clues. They searched, they investigated, and on the accusation of a drug addict, they finally arrested two men. The trial of those men not only provides a window on the world of justice, but places the reader in one of the most exasperating, exciting roles a human being can play : that of a juror on whose judgement rides the fate of two men. Long after the evidence is in and the covers of this book are closed, one question will linger : In the objective laboratory of the courtroom, do we - can we - find the truth? Featuring Raymond Smith, 30, and Pierre Pettiford, 29, and the 1968 Carwash murder case. 239pp. 8vo. h/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate. Vg. in sl. frayed G++ pcdw.
