In October 1997, the town of Ringgold in northwest Georgia was shaken by reports of a murder in its midst. A dead woman was found in Alvin Ridley's house--and even more shockingly, she was the wife no one knew he had. McCracken Poston had been a state representative before he lost his bid for U.S. Congress and returned to his law career. Alvin Ridley was a local character who once sold and serviced Zenith televisions. Though reclusive and an outsider, the "Zenith Man," as Poston knew him, hardly seemed capable of murder. Alvin was a difficult client, but gradually, Poston pieced together the full story behind Virginia and Alvin's curious marriage and her cause of death. Calling on medical experts, testimony from Alvin himself, and a wealth of surprising evidence gleaned from Alvin's junk-strewn house, Poston presented a groundbreaking defense that allowed Alvin to return to his peculiar lifestyle as a free man. 600 10 $a Ridley, Virginia. 600 10 $a Ridley, Alvin $x Trials, litigation, etc. 600 10 $a Poston, McCracken, $c Jr. 650 0 $a Public prosecutors $z Ringgold. $z Ringgold. 650 0 $a People with disabilities $z Catoosa County $z Catoosa County $v Biography. 650 0 $a Autistic people $v Biography. 650 0 $a Murder $z Ringgold $z Ringgold $v Case studies. 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 lcgft. 655 7 $a True crime stories. $2 lcgft. 941 $a 3 952 $l KJPF566 $d 20240503011124.0 952 $l SIPD314 $d 20240409011620.0 952 $l CAPH522 $d 20240402011918.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=8ECB4940F0B811EE9EC0998A3BECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
