Product Description
Convicted of arranging his wife?s murder in 1986, Robert Marshall refutes the allegations made by Joe McGinnis in Blind Faith, exposes flaws in the judicial process that led to his conviction, and reveals how friends and family show their character when it counts the most. Tunnel Vision is Robert Marshall?s story of the events leading up to his wife?s murder, the trial and his conviction. He also shares a few glimpses of the odder moments in life on death row. This portrayal of his life and his relationships with family members and the community, and the failings of his defense team 3/4 and dubious conduct on the part of the prosecution 3/4 raises serious questions about his case in particular and the death penalty in general. Marshall maintains his innocence, and continues to appeal the conviction. Will he, like Dennis Stockton (Dead Run) also be executed, even as evidence of his innocence mounts? Tunnel vision will appeal to readers of titles such as those below; but he maintains he is innocent, and his tale does not emphasize the horrors of prison life. His book is not gory 3/4 the most frightening aspect is that a very, very ordinary white male could be caught up in such a surreal situation, as a result of very, very ordinary actions taken. 1.
