His Name is Ron: Our Search for Justice

Once they were a quiet, closely knit, average American family. Then, without warning, they became enmeshed in one of the ugliest and most controversial crimes in recent history. Now, in their own words, they explain what happens when a beloved son and brother is murdered, when grief becomes a public spectacle, when normal lives are shattered during the course of two lengthy trials. They speak openly and candidly in the first behind-the-scenes account of both the criminal and civil cases—including their personal reactions to all the major players. They describe their determination to bring much-needed reforms to the criminal justice system, and to give voice to other victims of violent crime. But most important, the family gives a name, a face, a soul, to a young man so cruelly snatched from them. His name is Ron. This book belongs to him.
