She's So Cold: Murder, Accusations and the System that Devasted a Family
by Donald E McInnis
Thanks NetGalley and the publisher for a copy in exchange of an honest review.
Dennis McInnis shares a story of how a police department united against three teenage boys in San Diego county for the murder of a 12 year old girl. The problem? No evidence and two coerced confessions. Dennis was the defense attorney for the one boys that did not give a confession under duress. Dennis and two other attorneys fight for the boys in court against a prosecutor dead set for trying all three boys as adults. They uncover evidence that the prosecutor said didn’t matter. The twist? It changed everything.
I am so mad at the fact that it’s obvious that the judicial system hasn’t changed much since these three boys were arrested. Thank goodness there are lawyers like Dennis out there fighting for the rights of children. I enjoyed this book and my only complaint is that it was wordy in quite a few spots. It could have been shortened.
