Court of Lies by author Gerry Spence is an interesting story of courtroom drama, games, and negotiations during a case in Jackson Hole, WY circa 1956. Lillian Adams has been arrested for the murder of her husband. Lillian had helped to market and increase the success of her husbands business. Horace Adams III is found in his home office dead of a gunshot wound. Lillian is there, with blood and gunpowder residue on her hands. Did she shoot Horace or is the residue the result of her moving his body? Read the evidence and arguments as the trial goes forward.
Lillian has a reputation for being aggressive and impulsive. Maybe she is misunderstood, but the townspeople all have their own opinions because of her past history. Judge Murray has cared for Lillian as if she were his own daughter. The animosity between prosecutor Sewell and Judge Murray is very well known in the community. Read Court of Lies and the story of how Lillian's troubled past and the personal prejudices of Prosecutor Sewell test defense attorney Timothy Coker's best intentions in this trial.
I enjoy the books written by Gerry Spence. He possesses the art of a true storyteller!
