Advance Praise
“Decades of Doubt is a compelling, driving, masterful story of what can happen in our justice system when a family’s desire for justice, law enforcement’s need to convict somebody for a murder, and one brilliant attorney’s fight for the truth all meet in the crucible a courtroom. Eric Wilson provides a provocative insider’s view of how police and prosecutors can make ‘facts’ fit the crime, and what it takes to reveal the truth in the face of seemingly insurmountable odds. This story is heartbreaking for the loss of such a young life, but it inspires by reminding us that our criminal justice can and will work.” Charles J. Keefe, Esq., Former Homicide Prosecutor and Current Defense Attorney
“Fascinating account of our criminal justice system and the meaning of beyond a reasonable doubt! What makes it so compelling is that it is based on the actual record and is not a work of fiction. Perfectly describes the role of the defense lawyer in a difficult, tragic case. Well done!” Judge Cliff Kinghorn, New Hampshire Circuit Court
“Decades of Doubt illustrates a 45-year-old tragedy from the many perspectives of the case. Wilson shares with his readers something rarely seen in a novel - the insight into how a defense attorney prepares for a high profile murder case!”
