FINAL JUSTICE The True Story of the Richest Man Ever Tried for Murder

Paperback. On August 2, 1976, gunshots ripped through an exclusive Fort Worth mansion. Two people were killed - including a 12yr old girl, Two others were gravely wounded. Survivors and witnesses told the police the same story: Cullen Davis had invaded the mansion, bent on murdering everyone inside. But from the moment Davis's name was mentioned, an open-and-shut case became a legal quagmire. For Davis was heir to a legendary Texas dynasty of oil and money, and worth over a hundred million dollars. Now the authors expose the behind-the-scenes true story of how this multimillionaire used his power and wealth to protect himself from charges of murder. Filled with courtroom drama, the book reveals how Davis's lawyers turned the trial upside down with Davis's ex-wife and her circle of lovers and playmates forced to defend themselves against intimate questioning about their lurid sexcapades. An eye-opening testament to Davis's callous credo that money can buy anything. Illus. 528pp. mass market p/back. From the library of true crime writer, Wilfred Gregg, with his personal b/plate.
