MAN! Was this book infuriating! These boys never stood a chance. With one officer having a clear bug up his butt for Echols and a judge who clearly had made up his mind before the trial even started. The three boys who were cruelly murdered never got true justice and three other boys lost a good chunk of their lives to prison and their faith in humanity! A horrible miscarriage of justice.
The only reason I gave this book four instead of five stars was because of the severe lack of any color or character in the writing. Good thing for Mrs. Leveritt that the story itself was so outrageous and gripping that it made up for it.
