Murder, Culture, and Injustice: Four Sensational Cases in American History.

Walter Hixson's pithy narrative account of four sensational national murder cases "the Lizzie Borden murders, the Lindbergh baby case, the Sam Sheppard case, and the O. J. Simpson case" offers interesting observations into the greater cultural and political forces that shaped their verdicts. His step-by-step analysis of the details of each case provides not only insight by skillful synthesis of the existing literature but also a solid overview of the events surrounding these four cases, each of which became a national obsession as well as a miscarriage of justice. Taking a fresh look at the criminal justice system and the role of the media in the larger American milieu, Hixson delves into sociocultural impacts of crime that are both thought-provoking and fascinating reading.
