John Wayne Gacy: Defending a Monster by Sam L. Amirante

Description

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. 50 b/w photographs
