[Phil · Rating 4 out of 5]

From what I understand, Linda Deutsch was one of the more honorable members of the press corp during the People v Simpson. While the text doesn't contain an abundance of lesser known facts, it's interesting to see how the AP covered the trial in the seemingly long-ago 90's. Deutsch presents a measured, unbiased account of trial highlights, and it's interesting to examine a style that no longer appears in hard copy news.
