Description

They have greater access to better representation, they have the means to flee the country, they have influential friends in high places willing to put themselves on the line, and they are generally treated better by law enforcement and the criminal justice system. This book profiles the many ways in which homicides committed by the rich and famous are similar to other murders in their motives, but differ from those committed by everyday citizens in their outcomes. Scott provides readers with a showcase of crimes that will infuriate and fascinate readers.

Reviews

"An unsparing examination of the power of wealth and fame over justice that roasts American values over a brilliant flame of indignation." - Marvin J. Wolf, author of Perfect Crimes"
