Subjects: Trials, litigation, Trials (Murder)

Description: Due to one giant judicial misstep, Richard Handcock (the actual spelling), a violent repetitive criminal and spousal abuser was sent home on an electronic monitor where he soon killed his wife, a beautiful and vivacious local bartender. Richard learned how to manipulate the system from another inmate while incarcerated! This story draws the reader into a web of lies and infidelities, role playing sex games, drug addiction and dealing, devil worship and sacrifice, a top lieutenant gone bad, a lying informant, graphic self-mutionation, kidnapping, rape, paranoia, drowning, and a botched police investigation. This facinating and thrilling book was penned by an actual juror on this true crime case, which was the longest to date in Yuma, AZ, history.
