An argument at the core of Evidence of Things Seen — that the ability to get justice in the United States remains woefully unequal.
Although the essays are for the most part objective and dispassionate, the book still engenders frustration at the injustices perpetrated by the legal system. A valuable addition to the ever-growing genre of crime nonfiction..
Weinman’s sensitive selection of these and other articles in the anthology will provoke a wide range of reactions—sorrow, anger, indignation and even optimism. Perhaps they will also provoke a reckoning with how true crime lovers engage with stories of transgression and justice..
Weinman...compiles some of the past few years’ best reporting on crime and crime media, previously published.
