Thought provoking even if you don't buy the basic premise; but there's too much detail about all the drug runs and dealings, and too many tidbits from anonymous* sources. (The first time a pseudonym is used it it followed by an asterisk; thereafter you might have trouble remembering who said what on condition of not being named.)Makes a case that one of the convicted killers wasn't as horrible as the other, which doesn't paint the justice system in a good light. And it took some Internet digging to learn about the accomplices.
