By Two and Two

The Scandalous Story of Twin Sisters Accused of a Shocking Crime of Passion

In "a solid account of what appears to be a shocking injustice" an award-winning journalist uncovers the bias that led to a woman's conviction for murder (The New York Times).

When a prominent Alabama doctor is brutally killed, his wife and her twin sister are charged with conspiracy to murder. But while her twin was acquitted of the crime, Betty Wilson was charged with killing her husband.

Probing into a trial that deliberated on Betty's promiscuity, her alcoholism, and her adulterous affair with a black man rather than any physical evidence against her, critically acclaimed journalist Jim Schutze reveals how sex, politics, and corruption could possibly have led to a scandalous miscarriage of justice that kept the real killer from facing full penalty for his cold-blooded deed. A fascinating true crime account, By Two and Two is a must-listen investigation into the harrowing details of a sensational murder case.

Contains mature themes.

The Twins Revisited

I'm convinced, after reading this, Betty Wilson was the victim of two detectives who decided what the outcome was and then laid out the facts to get the result. The prosecutor, instead of seeking Justice, did what most prosecutors do; they went for the win. She's innocent.
