But if you have any notion that a system of justice exists in this country, that our judges and lawyers who administer this abysmal system of laws, are there to provide the people with a fair trial system, this book will convince you that you are hallucinating.
It's enough to put me off of True Crime books forever to witness the leeway that the system gives to criminal defense lawyers, the 200% guilty murderers just for kicks, and other inhuman beings that inhabit a trial court.
The kidnapped, tortured, and brutally murdered, mean no more to a trial court and liars on juries than a bug squashed on the windshield. The terrible injustice wreaked upon them by the judges, lawyers, and ljurors---for 200% guilty murderers----is reason enough to NEVER give up your rights to own your own guns, and know how to use them. They are the last vestige of defense you have against a system that is rotten to its very core.
There are more crimes committed in and around courtrooms, than there are on the mean streets of our most violent cities, and all committed by law enforcement lawyers, judges, and boneheaded jurors who lie to get on juries and then do not carry out their responsibilities to the victims of carnage.
Material was well presented and cohesive. I would have given it a 4 star review except for the numerous textual errors in spelling, sentence construction. Very sloppy. The publisher needs to hire proofreaders who do not rely on spellcheck to do the work.
I would recommend this to those readers who follow true crime writings. Mr. Cook has done a very nice job organizing and presenting the case. Those not fans of true crime should read it simply because they need to know what a mess the judicial system has become.
The author did an excellent job of bringing the victims and the killers to life. Rightfully, there is little sympathy for the killers (the book was written before the era of Snowflakes),while the pain of the surviving members of the Alday family is clearly expressed. It's a truly horrible story but one that needed to be told, and the author told it well.
