SYNOPSIS: "In the course of a trial, defense and prosecution attorneys may lie, witnesses may lie, the defendant may lie, even the judge may lie. Only the evidence never lies." So says colorful, crusty Herbert Leon MacDonell. He's been called in as an expert witness in the most sensational murder cases of the past wo decades--the assassinations of Bobby Kennedy and Martin Luther King, and in the celebrated cases of Jean Harris and Claus von Bulow. Now Alfred Allan Lewis recounts seven of MacDonell's most intriguing cases including: The hunting death that was either a tragic accident or a homicide; The Black Panther shoot-out--was it murder by the police?; A baffling case with blood, hair, and motive--but no body. And much, much more, all true crime drams played out--to puzzle-solving perfection wherein the nation's most expert expert proves that.the evidence never lies.
