Houston-based journalist Michael Berryhill recounts the story of Eroy Brown, a black Texas prison inmate who killed two prison guards in self-defense in 1980. His case helped prompt huge changes in the Texas prisons. "If ever there was a dead man, it was Eroy Brown, a black convict who killed two white prison guards. The story of [Craig] Washington's successful three-trial defense of Brown should be a book and a movie. This one is going to live as a Gettysburg in legal history." —Molly Ivins
