This book is full of unsubstantiated conspiracy, and wishful fantasy. Clearly written using Al, saying a whole lot without saying anything at all; overly repetitive and generic. Hard to finish. Author and Co-Author should stick to their day job.
I bought it because Court TV was listed as a contributor, they are not mentioned once! I feel duped and mislead.
Simply put- Egg lady juror is looking for revenge against Judge Newman for being caught speaking to others during the trial; then trying to pin Becky Hill as if her mistake. The book is filled with "emotions" vs rock solid facts. Countless unsubstantiated assertions are a disservice, and undermined her claims.
I’d finished reading a well-documented book on the Murdaugh saga from the viewpoint of the state/prosecution. This book took more the side of the defense. The author was a juror on the six-week double murder trial but was removed prior to deliberations. This is her inside story. Her stance was not necessarily that Alex was guilty — it was that Clerk of Court Becky Hill acted with gross negligence and jury tampering to ensure a guilty verdict because she illegally had a lot riding on a guilty verdict.
After reading this book I do believe that Becky Hill tampered with the jury trying to convince them to come up with a fast guilty verdict— which is exactly what they did.
The author presents some very compelling information. My 3-star rating more reflects the amateurish presentation of this book more than the revelations themselves.
This book, unfortunately, shows the dark side of the so-called justice system. This juror wanted to do her best to be sure the accused got the access to a fair trial, as is guaranteed in our Constitution. However, I believe that forces beyond her control were used against her in order to come up with the "accepted" verdict. She did not say that she would vote guilty or not guilty, only that she hadn't decided, but they didn't seem to be able to take the chance on that. If I were on trial for my life, I would want a juror like that on my trial (even if I didn't have the best reputation). That type of juror would be much better listening to the evidence than another who made up his/her mind at the outset or, worse, at the behest of the promptings of someone like Becky Hill, whose motives are suspect. The story, itself, was compelling, but I do believe the publisher should have had a better proofreader, as there were many glaring errors and repeated information.
