    About this ebook

    From the bestselling author of The Defense Never Rests, a look at the modern spate of spousal homicides.

    This book provides an overview of several of the most famous homicidal husband cases of recent years, including:

    - Sam Sheppard, who inspired the TV series and movie The Fugitive

    - Jeffrey McDonald, who became the subject of the bestseller Fatal Vision

    - Mister Perfect, Brad Cunningham, who was convicted of bludgeoning his wife to death

    - Michael Peterson, who was the subject of the IFC documentary series The Staircase and a Lifetime movie original starring Treat Williams

    - OJ Simpson, whose dream team of lawyers defended the former pro-football player and movie star of the brutal murder of his ex-wife as the entire nation watched

    - Claus von Bulow, immortalized in the book and movie Reversal of Fortune

    - Robert Blake, former TV star, who was suspected of engineering the death of his conwoman wife

    - Scott Peterson, a philandering sociopathic husband who almost escaped arrest for the murder of his wife and unborn child.

    - Lambert "Bart" Knol, who claimed he suffered from "substance-induced persistent amnesia" when he was accused of killing his wife of 38 years


    These cases and others are presented in an objective manner by a knowledgeable voice that recognizes that suspicion, and sometimes even conviction, are not always synonymous with guilt.

    Author

    F. Lee Bailey

    F. Lee Bailey (1933-2021) was a distinguished trial lawyer, author, and lecturer. His phenomenally successful legal career has been highlighted by such sensational cases as those of Dr. Sam Sheppard (whose story inspired the television series and film The Fugitive), Dr. Carl Coppolino, Army Captain Ernest L. Medina, Albert DeSalvo (aka the Boston Strangler) Patty Hearst, and O. J. Simpson. Of the murder trials that Bailey has handled, the conviction rate for his clients has been an amazingly low 4 percent. He wrote the national bestseller, The Defense Never Rests and co-wrote of When the Husband Is the Suspect: From Sam Shepperd to Scott Peterson—The Public’s Passion for Spousal Homicide with Jean Rabe.

      Completely biased but still interesting. I'm really not a fan of Bailey's whining about how men are always considered the suspect, particularly when they are close to the victim. Most victims of violent crime know their attacker, not only that, but the VAST majority of violent offenders are men. Not that it excuses shoddy investigative techniques, but really, investigating the spouse is the most useful track.Also I hate the fact that Bailey defines "uxoricide" as the killing of one's spouse. Uxoricide comes from the Latin, uxor, which means wife. Technically this would only refer to wife-murder. Although this might be just a legalese mistake and not a mistake of Bailey's. Addmittedly, it's also nitpicky.
