Best Book of 2011  

imperfectjustice6452Imperfect Justice: Prosecuting Casey Anthony by Jeff Ashton With Lisa Pulitizer (Willim Morrow/HC) This book is the ultimate page turner. You read it until it is finished. The facts of the case are explored and more drama unfolds with every page. What really happened? Unanswered. Which is the "why" of the not-guilty verdict. Plan 10 hours with this book...true crime at its best. Imperfect Justice: Prosecuting Casey Anthony
