Customer Reviews

A well-researched, gripping documentary

For those who enjoyed Truman Capote's breakthrough "non-fiction novel" IN COLD BLOOD a generation ago, JUSTICE DENIED will be a welcome find. This is a gripping, well-researched documentary that reads like a well-plotted mystery novel. But beware: it may change your views of the American justice system forever -- are we being ripped off by the very system we trust to adminster justice? In other words, who among you is willing to fork over his share of the $16 million (and 13 years!) it cost to finally bring a brutal, maniacal killer to justice. JUSTICE DENIED is writing superb!

Unbelievable case, very well written by author.

The Author takes you step by step from 1984 to the present depicting an incredible amount of bodies and other evidence buried in Calaveras County, California. He takes you through the process of capturing Ng and the delayed trial. It's unbelivable how Ng played around with the system. Very well written, I couldn't put it down.
