**BOOK SYNOPSIS**
In 2006, the author's brother, Steve Sirois, was sentenced to serve 35 years in a Texas prison for a horrendous crime, aggravated sexual assault of a child -- a crime Steve swore he didn't commit. After the conviction, Michael started helping Steve write his appeals, but what he saw in the trial transcripts made him question how a jury could have convicted his brother based on that testimony.

Steve's accuser originally gave vague dates for the crime but soon abandoned those dates and even replaced the details of her claims with new ones. There was no forensic evidence, no DNA, no physical evidence of any kind: nothing but his accuser's words. The author wondered if he could prove that her accusations were false. But how?

Using affidavits, court transcripts, and interviews, along with additional evidence from public information requests and other factual data, the book lays out a devastating portrait of an untruthful accuser, an overzealous prosecutor, a jury that made a deal to swap votes in order to gain a conviction, and the series of lies that led to that outcome.

My favourite podcast

MFM is hilarious, I love listening to it as much as I can. I am a massive fan of true crime and this podcast has it all. It doesn't take itself too seriously but covers sensitive subjects with respect (and a few giggles)

Sharp, witty dialogue (0 more)

The best yet!

The spoof crime season is back for a third outing. It has a good cast and for me the best script yet. The jokes come think and fast. It's really well written. If you like a good spoof you'll enjoy this.
