John Barruso (illustrator). 1st Edition, not signed, Very Good+, pages are bright, clean, corners are sharp. Brownish toning around front and back interior boards, paperback, spine is tight. The Verdict Is In", edited by Kathi Georges and Jennifer Joseph, appears to be an anthology or collection focusing on a specific topic related to social justice or the criminal justice system, likely with a focus on issues of race and police brutality. The cover image, depicting hands on the shoulders of a man with a beret, and the text itself, suggest a commentary on legal judgments and societal responses. One related search result specifically references the acquittal of the police officers in the Rodney King beating trial of 1992 and the resulting public outrage and L.A. riots, a time when many felt "what we saw with our own eyes is not a crime". This context strongly implies the book collects perspectives, possibly poems, essays, or activist writings, in the aftermath of such events, challenging the official verdict and the perceived flaws in the system.
