Chapters on: The Crime and the Circumstances, Lyle Menendez Up Close, Listening to Lyle, Life after Lyle, including Conclusion: Reflections on the Con Artist as a Young Man by Pierce O'Donnell. Transcripts of telephone conversations and letters provide an unauthorized account of the trial of Lyle Menendez for the murder of his parents. Joseph Lyle Menéndez (born January 10, 1968) and Erik Galen Menéndez (born November 27, 1970) are American brothers who were convicted in 1996 for the murders of their parents, José and Mary ("Kitty") Menéndez. During the trial, the brothers alleged that they committed the murders in fear that their father would kill them after they threatened to expose him for years of sexual and emotional abuse. They were first tried separately, with one jury for each brother. Both juries deadlocked, which resulted in a mistrial. For the second trial, they were tried together by a single jury, which found them guilty; as a result, they were sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole. More

Inscription reads July, 1991 To Irma, "This is the extended" version of my story. I Love you! Eugene Mercury Morris. The former football player for the Miami Dolphins recounts his battle with post-football financial disaster, cocaine addiction, incapacitating medical problems, and a conviction for hyped-up drug charges that he fought all the way to State Supreme Court. Eugene Edward "Mercury" Morris (born January 5, 1947) is a former American football running back and kick returner. He played for seven years, primarily for the Miami Dolphins, in the American Football League (AFL) as a rookie in 1969, then in the American Football Conference (AFC) following the 1970 merger with the National Football League (NFL). Morris played in three Super Bowls, winning twice, and was selected to three Pro Bowls. In 1982, Morris was convicted of felony drug trafficking charges. After three and a half years in prison, he was released after a plea agreement in which he pleaded no contest to cocaine conspiracy charges. Morris finished in the top five of the NFL in rushing touchdowns twice and total touchdowns once during his eight-year career. His career 5.1 yard per carry average was third all time among NFL players (1st among half backs) behind just fullbacks Jim Brown and Marion Motley. Morris' career kickoff return average of 26.5 was in the top 10 at the time of his retirement. In 1974, Morris co-starred as Bookie Garrett in the blaxploitation film The Black Six alongside other football stars of the day. More

Inscribed by the author on the half-title page. Minor soiling to top edge and pages 306/7. Sister Helen Prejean was a little-known Roman Catholic nun from Louisiana when in 1993, her book Dead Man Walking, challenged the way we look at the death penalty in America. It became a #1 New York Times bestseller and was nominated for the Pulitzer Prize. In The Death of Innocents, she takes us to the new moral edge of the debate on capital punishment: What if we re killing the wrong man? Dobie Gillis Williams, a black man from rural Louisiana with an IQ of 65, was accused of a brutal rape and murder. Williams s inept defense counsel, later disbarred for unethical practice for unrelated cases, allowed the prosecution s incredibly contrived scenario of the crime to go unchallenged. Less than two years after Williams s execution in January 1999, the Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional to kill a man so mentally disabled. More
