Finished this morning and just want to say that this is a great book. This has been on my shelf for at least 10 years and do not ask me why. No idea why I did not pick it up to read sooner. So glad I read this cause it was well written. (I feel sorry for the author because I only know Vincent Buglosi wrote it but I assume he told it and the real author wrote it?
Highly recommend this old fashioned good true crime book but you have probably already read it ages ago. ;).

4.5 stars
2686 Till Death Us Do Part: A True Murder Mystery, by Vincent Bugliosi with Ken Harwitz (read 22 Dec 1994) This is a 1978 book on the murder on Dec 11, 1966, of Henry Stockton and the murder of Judy Pallido on Apr 30, 1968. The prosecutor writes the book, so we know he wins. Henry's wife, Sandra, and Judy's husband, Alan, are convicted of first degree murder on purely circumstantial evidence: they did it for the insurance. I did not think it was too worthwhile reading this, though the legalese is sound, of course. I read Bugliosi's more dramatic Helter-Skelter on Mar 6, 1977
This is about criminal trials in Los Angeles.

Vincent T. Bugliosi, Jr. (August 18, 1934 - June 6, 2015) was an American attorney and New York Times bestselling author. During his eight years in the Los Angeles County district attorney's office, he was best known for prosecuting Charles Manson and other defendants accused of the seven Tate-LaBianca murders of August 9-10, 1969. Although Manson show more did not physically participate in the murders at Sharon Tate's home, Bugliosi used circumstantial evidence to show that he had orchestrated the killings. Bugliosi co-wrote Helter Skelter and later wrote and co-wrote more than a dozen books, including Outrage: The Five Reasons Why O.J. Simpson Got Away with Murder, Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder and Divinity of Doubt: The God Question.
