Sinopsis

This book provides an overview of several of the most famous homicidal husband cases of recent years, including: Sam Sheppard, who inspired the TV series and movie "The Fugitive"; Jeffrey McDonald, who became the subject of the bestseller "Fatal Vision"; Mister Perfect, Brad Cunningham, who was convicted of bludgeoning his wife to death; Michael Peterson, who was the subject of the IFC documentary series "The Staircase and a Lifetime" movie original starring Treat Williams; OJ Simpson, whose dream team of lawyers defended the former pro-football player and movie star of the brutal murder of his ex-wife as the entire nation watched; and, Claus von Bulow, immortalized in the book and movie "Reversal of Fortune".It also provides an overview of: Robert Blake, former TV star, who was suspected of engineering the death of his conwoman wife; Scott Peterson, a philandering sociopath husband who almost escaped arrest for the murder of his wife and unborn child; and, Lambert "Bart" Knol, who claimed he suffered from "substance-induced persistent amnesia" when he was accused of killing his wife of 38 years. These cases and others are presented in an objective manner by a knowledgeable voice that recognizes that suspicion, and sometimes even conviction, are not always synonymous with guilt.

Acerca del autor

F. Lee Bailey is a distinguished trial lawyer, author, and lecturer. His phenomenally successful career as a trial lawyer has been highlighted by such sensational cases as those of Dr. Sam Sheppard, Dr. Carl Coppolino, the Boston Strangler, Patty Hearst, and OJ Simpson. Of the murder trials that Bailey has handled, the conviction rate for his clients has been an amazingly low 4 percent. Among his previous books is the national bestseller, "The Defense Never Rests." He is based in Boston, Massachusetts, and Miami, Florida. Jean Rabe was a police blotter reporter before she began to write books. She resides in Kenosha, WI.
