What is Of Murder and Madness: A True Story about?

<p>A KILLER WITHOUT REDEMPTION...</p> <p>In broad daylight in the backwater of Rawlins, Wyoming, Joe Esquibel shot his wife right between the eyes in front of eight witnesses, including his own children and a deputy sheriff with his gun drawn. It seemed an indefensible case of premeditated murder by a remorseless killer. A crime that cried out for the death penalty.</p> <p>A LAWYER WHO WOULDN'T GIVE UP...</p> <p>Enter Gerry Spence, the controversial, nationally renowned defense lawyer who'd never lost a case. Undeterred by the odds against him, and armed with awesome powers of persuasion, he turned the trial into an electrifying legal battle to save a man from execution. For seven years, through three trials, he fought with everything he had, until, incredibly, he achieved the impossible: Esquibel was acquitted by reason of insanity.</p> <p><i>OF MURDER AND MADNESS</i>...</p> <p>With riveting detail, Gerry Spence takes you behind the scenes of an unforgettable true-life courtroom drama— and inside the mind of a murderer. It is a fascinating, unvarnished look at the wheelings and dealings that go on in the courtroom...and a chilling odyssey into the darkness of the human soul.</p>
