Description
" The trial has been a remarkable one; as remarkable as the crime itself, and the course pursued by the prisoner. Packer's statement on the stand, particularly regarding the killing of Bell, was a cunningly conceived defense, and had he told the same story at Lost Pinos in '74, and always since adhered to it, at the same time telling the whole truth about the attendant circumstances, he probably never would have been accused of the crime which his incriminating statements then and subsequent course since fastened upon." - Gunnison-Press Review (back cover of paperback)
