1985 BACK OF THE TRUCK My ride with Sagon Penn

This is a book about one of the most interesting murder trials ever where the defense attorney was real cunning. And the evidence kept piling in on the officer who survived as being a racist where claims at the academy. That he used racial slurs where his fellow officers all knew he was racist. Where one former Police officer testified for the defense saying he was the biggest racist he ever met let alone worked with. Where this same person claim that officer tried to have him killed for testifying. Where the defendant stayed in jail after his hung jury because of fear of being killed.
