Dr. Conrad Murray is on trial for manslaughter in connection with the death of larger-than-life star Michael Jackson, and much of the nation is watching. Murray's case is part of a long line of courtroom media spectacles. These books detail the twisting court proceedings of famous people and crimes, from the sensational trial of O.J. Simpson to the horrifying testimony of Charles Manson to the lesser-known battle over Oscar Wilde's homosexuality. Get the facts and decide once and for all who's guilty and who's not.
