The 31-year-old oil field worker and small-time drug dealer was curled up on his side on the truck's bare metal, pressed against the tailgate, clad only in jeans, a checkered shirt, and cowboy boots. Inside the cab of the truck was a fresh package of expensive steaks from a local butcher shop--the first lead in a case that would be quickly lost in a thicket of bungled forensics, shady prosecution, and a psychopathic star witness out for revenge. Award-winning author Mardi Link's third book of Michigan true crime, Wicked Takes the Witness Stand, unravels this mysterious and still unsolved case that sucked state police and local officials into a morass of perjury and cover-up and ultimately led to the separate conviction and imprisonment of five innocent men. This unbelievable story will leave the reader shocked and aching for justice."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references. 650 0 $a Murder $z Michigan $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Murder $x Investigation $z Michigan $v Case studies. 650 0 $a False imprisonment $z Michigan $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Criminal justice, Administration of $x Corrupt practices $z Michigan $v Case studies. 650 7 $a TRUE CRIME $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217031016.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=D0502ED0F1E611E78A18091E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
