Description

The murder of Forrest Teel, a corporate vice-president and head of the international division of the largest pharmaceutical company in the world caught the attention of the nation in 1958. When his longtime mistress was arrested for the crime, the interest of the world was piqued. At the same time, a young lawyer was finishing a campaign to be elected judge in a criminal court in Indianapolis. Against all predictions, he won the seat. Only after he won did he realize he would be the judge for the largest trial in Indianapolis history.The book details the murder, investigation and arrest, then follows the struggles of the defendant, literally fighting for her life, and the politically ambitious judge, struggling to conduct and control a trial with no previous experience, all the while under the media's powerful microscope.

The story was interesting but I found the writing rather dry. No real 'characters' - more of an accounting than a story, per se. I already knew the historical recollection of the murder, and I was hoping to get an insider's perspective along with some good storytelling. He covered , or should I say uncovered, the facts, but delivered in a dry unimaginative voice. I had more fun researching the story for myself than I did reading his account. He did have some pictures that I didn't find anywhere else, and he did have some insight as to his father's thoughts as the newly appointed judge who was presiding over this case. Murder and betrayal on a crash course whose collision, in reality, provided a highly controversial and 'steamy (for the time) story. This book was written to display the facts and sadly left the STORY out of the story.
