Críticas:

"The authors offer a fair analysis of celebrated cases that address the need to see that true justice is done."--Kirkus Reviews "A gripping book."--Neil Steinberg, Chicago Sun-Times "For legal scholars as well as social historians, this work is a valuable tool, and laymen should find it an enjoyable read."--Booklist "What makes the book so enjoyable and worthwhile-beyond the riveting, sometimes gory details of the misdeeds it chronicles-is its sophisticated exploration of the myriad social and intellectual currents that combine to create a crime of the century."--Jonathan S. Shapiro, American Lawyer
