3.5 for the STORY 4.5 for the ABThis is a standard David and Goliath story and if you don't know much about the Criminal Justice System it's a fun ride. For me it was an entertaining few hours which I was able to enjoy by bringing good will and squinting real hard but mostly because of [a:Nick Podehl 2803557 Nick Podehl https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1294338060p2/2803557.jpg]'s narration. Excellent. Don't get me wrong. The bones of the story are fairly accurate but, unless things are way different in Utah, I don't know that the state would've handled Amanda Pierce in such a manner, just because of the optics and there's no way that an attorney with nil experience like Brigham Theodore would've been assigned the case nor would a case like this go to trial in such a short period of time. But you can ignore all that and enjoy this like most tv procedurals or airport paperbacks that we forget sooner than the vacation.
