Description:An early morning shootout between Black Panther leader Huey Newton and two Oakland policemen put Newton on trial for his life in the volatile summer of 1968. Author Lise Pearlman compares that highly publicized trial to other historic legal battles featuring murder, rape and kidnapping, skeletons in celebrity closets, class warfare, fixing the World Series, evolution versus creationism, abuse of power and political conspiracy. Each "trial of the century" serves as a window into its own era. Should the Newton murder trial rank number one? The author contends the jury's surprising verdict still reverberates today--had it turned out otherwise Barack Obama would likely not be president.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
