Courtroom justice is a game, with each side trying to win points inside carefully drawn boundaries, the rules of law and procedure. In the hands of the court,the narrative and nuance, the story of complex happening, tends to get lost. Featured instead are tiny pieces of truth; singular details, items of evidence, shards.

Sager does a great job displaying how people can loose their minds when it comes to sex and drugs...especially for those who hold the most power.

The articles on Eazy-E and Rodney King are so intriguing, but so heartbreaking at the same time. Mike Sager does a great job of mixing the facts of a story with emotional dialogue and commentary.

Love,Love,Loved the John Holmes and Savannah stories...the articles flow like novels. You are there in the story, side by side Mike as he progresses through the tortured history of his subjects.
