On December 24, 1968, ten-year-old Pamela Powers was brutally
murdered, her body dumped at the side of the road to freeze. Robert
Anthony Williams was charged with the crime, and a series of
trials, appeals, and reversals ensued. The Christian Burial Case:
An Introduction to Criminal and Judicial Procedure introduces
readers to the intricacies of the American legal system, using the
Williams case to illustrate all the stages of the legal process
from the point of arrest, to the trial, the appellate process, and,
ultimately, the Supreme Court. The text clearly and concisely
explains criminal and court procedures in the context of the
Williams case, paying careful attention to the rights against
self-incrimination and to counsel, and to the role of the
exclusionary rule in our system of justice. This unique
introduction to criminal justice and judicial procedure captures
the imagination of the reader as it chronicles "The Christian
Burial" case from beginning to end. Because the suspect was
observed leaving the scene of the crime with the body of the
victim, the Williams case seemed to be open and shut. But due to
police procedures in apprehending and questioning the suspect, the
resolution of the case took fifteen years and two United States
Supreme Court decisions. By highlighting the difficulties of
determining the facts of the case and the proper procedural laws
that were applicable, McInnis demonstrates the complexities
inherent in the legal system. This compelling book is a must-read
for all people interested in learning more about criminal procedure
and judicial processes.
