This ended up being an even more interesting read because I was finishing the book at the same time the George Zimmerman murder trial was coming to a close. I thought the book was slow starting, but once he got into the trial I found it fascinating. My quotes:
"This is the story of a murder, of a murder trial, and of some of the people who engaged or became enmeshed in the proceedings. Enmeshed is a good word, for murder, of all crimes, seems to possess to a greater degree than any other that compelling magnetic quality that draws people helplessly into its outspreading net, frequently to their surprise, and occasionally to their horror." prologue
"Man is the only animal that laughs and weeps, for he is the only animal that is struck by the difference between what things are and what they ought to be." p. 262
