Özet

For the first time Gacy’s lawyer and confidant tells his chilling tale of how he defended an American serial killer.

“Sam, could you do me a favor?”

Thus begins a story that has now become part of America's true-crime hall of fame. It is a gory, grotesque tale befitting a Stephen King novel. It is also a David and Goliath saga - the story of a young lawyer fresh from the public defender's office whose first client in private practice turns out to be the worst serial killer in our nation's history. This is a gripping true crime narrative that reenacts the gruesome killings and the famous trial that shocked a nation.

Editör yorumları

Judge Sam L. Amirante and Danny Broderick’s John Wayne Gacy: Defending a Monster is an unforgettable work, a rare chilling glance behind the scenes of a universally well-known story, that of notorious serial killer John Wayne Gacy, Jr.

Amirante and Broderick, Gacy’s public defender, have constructed a gripping work that not only reveals for the first time new facts about one of America’s most infamous killers, but grapples with great questions of humanity, including the question of what it means to deserve defense - even if your crimes are as great as Gacy’s. Actor Robin Bloodworth’s performance is emotionally powerful and well-paced, and he excels especially at emphasizing those new elements of Gacy’s story which make this audiobook a must-listen.

A grim but fascinating story with real insight into the crimes, the US legal system and Gacy himself.

The book lost some momentum towards the end but on the whole it was a great listen and very well narrated. Recommended to anyone interested in True Crime.

Fascinating

The author took too much for granted. We’re not all privy to the law to the extent that a judge or a lawyer would be. His words sometimes irritated me with that fact. JWG was a sorry person. But I felt the young lives of all those men meant much more. He didn’t deserve that level of defence or compassion. I felt like the author was more focused on it being his first case as a lawyer in his own right than the men murdered. Just my opinion.

Good but….

An excellent choice for those interested in true crime from a legal perspective. The issues that arose in this case are definitely food for thought in the pursuit of criminal justice to this day, and beyond. The narrator deserves a mention; he gave a captivating rendition.

Utterly fascinating

I am a huge fan of learning about serial killers, and what makes them do it and this book is great. There is a lot of information I hadn't previously heRd, so it was great for me. I loved hearing the court process as well. I really enjoyed my learning experience through this book.

Lots of new information
