Lindy Chamberlain / Crispin, Ken / (PB/1987-1987/B+/USED)

*Condition Note: Book is lightly used and clean. May have spots on the page edges.*

Lindy was accused of murdering her own baby. She blamed a dingo (wild dog) for killing the child. The Australian public said Lindy's religion practiced a bizarre form of cultism which drove her to slay her little girl in cold blood.

Amid vicious rumors and a black public mood, Lindy Chamberlain was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment.

The prosecution at her trial offered no eyewitnesses, no body, no confession, and no motive. So why did it take seven years of trials and appeals for Lindy to prove her innocence?

Lindy Chamberlain, the Full Story by Ken Crispin is a compelling account of the miscarriage of justice. Place yourself in Lindy's shoes and walk her tortuous path. Then ask yourself, "Could it happen in America?"
