Reviews
[This] is a fascinating book for two reasons. One, it reads for exactly what it is: a true crime mystery that captured the attention of Kentucky for several years in the early to mid-1960s and that has now been brought back to the public's attention. Second, it is a look into the life and mindset of the times. [Lawson] should be commended for keeping the case of Brown alive in the public eye [and] contributing to the scholarship and history of Kentucky., " Who Killed Betty Gail Brown? is clear, well-written and accessible to the average reader. Mr. Lawson has done an excellent job of organizing the material to make the case easily understandable. He also keeps the action moving and the reader turning pages to find out what happens next." -- Tom Eblen, Lexington Herald-Leader, "This book is a must-read for several reasons. First, it's a straightforward account of a famous Kentucky murder case, written in Robert Lawson's no-nonsense style. Second, it's a good example of lawyers' pro bono representation of an indigent defendant charged with a serious crime. Finally, it's the story of a confession, never retracted, that might or might not be true." -- Kentucky Bench & Bar, - Who Killed Betty Gail Brown? is clear, well-written and accessible to the average reader.

The Murder of Betty Gail Brown The Initial Investigation Cooling Down of a Hot Case Arrival of a Real Suspect Events Preceding Trial The Trial
Synopsis
On October 26, 1961, after an evening of studying with friends on the campus of Transylvania University, nineteen-year-old student Betty Gail Brown got into her car around midnight--presumably headed for home. But she would never arrive. Three hours later, Brown was found dead in a driveway near the center of campus, strangled to death with her own brassiere. Kentuckians from across the state became engrossed in the proceedings as lead after lead went nowhere. Four years later, the police investigation completely stalled. In 1965, a drifter named Alex Arnold Jr. confessed to the killing while in jail on other charges in Oregon. Arnold was brought to Lexington, indicted for the murder of Betty Gail Brown, and put on trial, where he entered a plea of not guilty. Robert G. Lawson was a young attorney at a local firm when a senior member asked him to help defend Arnold, and he offers a meticulous record of the case in Who Killed Betty Gail Brown? During the trial, the courtroom was packed daily, but witnesses failed to produce any concrete evidence. Arnold was an alcoholic whose memory was unreliable, and his confused, inconsistent answers to questions about the night of the homicide did not add up. Since the trial, new leads have come and gone, but Betty Gail Brown's murder remains unsolved. A written transcript of the court proceedings does not exist; and thus Lawson, drawing upon police and court records, newspaper articles, personal files, and his own notes, provides an invaluable record of one of Kentucky's most famous cold cases., On October 26, 1961, after an evening of studying with friends on the campus of Transylvania University, nineteen-year-old student Betty Gail Brown got into her car around midnight-presumably headed for home.

- _***s (6)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufWhen I'd originally placed this order, I had accidentally put in the wrong shipping address. However, the seller was more than helpful, and the CD arrived!! The packaging was wide open when it arrived, but luckily nothing was damaged. Additionally, there was nothing protective on the CD, so that open package made me feel kind of nervous. Otherwise, absolutely great! The customer service was awesome, and the product was as described.
- r***w (227)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzte 6 MonateBestätigter KaufItem was lost in delivery- but after some communication, seller was understanding and provided a refund. I ordered another and had it sent elsewhere. My main issue was that it felt as if I was getting automated responses at first!! Please have humans review human inquiries!! It was painstaking explaining the situation to an A.I. who only repeats unhelpful replies. Thanks again!! Otherwise. Great price! Great seller!
- e***r (331)- Bewertung vom Käufer.Letzter MonatBestätigter KaufAlthough I received the incorrect book with my order (that had a title close to what I had ordered), AlibrisBooks apologized, said they could not re-send the book, and refunded my money and told me to keep the book that I had received, and either donate it or give it away, so I gave it to someone. That was very kind on their part to do that, and I would highly recommend them. Mistakes happen I get that.
