Reasonable Doubt: The Fashion Writer, Cape Cod, and the Trial of Chris McCowen

Meer over het boek

The murder of Christa Worthington in 2002, a former fashion writer, unveils a complex tale of bias and injustice. Found dead in her Cape Cod home, her case took a troubling turn when Christopher McCowen, an African-American garbage collector with a low IQ, was arrested based solely on a DNA match, despite a lack of substantial evidence. Bestselling author Peter Manso meticulously investigates the trial's failings, exposing systemic biases and the ramifications of a flawed legal process, culminating in a harsh sentence for McCowen amidst public outcry.
