And the Sea Will Tell

Wynter

Absolutely riveting true legal drama! But be warned, unless you're excited by the courtroom proceedings and the chess play that happens between defence and prosecution, you might find most of the book tedious and slow. The first 1/3 of it is an intriguing reenactment of the events leading up to the tragedy, and the other 2/3 is pretty much a court transcript. True, Mr. Bugliosi can be a little full of himself, but he built an incredible defence case, and managed to hit almost any curveball flying in his direction. There is a lot to learn for students of law. (view spoiler)[Do I subscribe to the opinion that Jennifer is innocent? Not so much. She acted very strange throughout her trial, was tardy about proving her own innocence, and did not show much emotion over the deaths of two people or the fact that she was accused of killing them. Perhaps she got away with murder, or perhaps she's simply a sociopath, but I had absolutely no reason for cheering for her. (hide spoiler)]
