Ninety Times Guilty (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781436699181)

Ninety Times Guilty is a gripping true crime book written by Powell Hickman. The book tells the story of a notorious criminal named Edward Lee Elmore, who was convicted of the murder of a wealthy white woman in Greenwood, South Carolina in 1982. Elmore, a black man with a low IQ, was sentenced to death and spent nearly 30 years on death row before being exonerated in 2010.Hickman's book provides a detailed account of Elmore's case, from the crime itself to the trial and appeals process. He explores the racial and social dynamics at play in the case, as well as the flaws in the justice system that allowed Elmore to be wrongfully convicted and sentenced to death.The book also delves into Elmore's personal life, including his difficult childhood and troubled relationships with women. Through interviews with Elmore and his family, as well as with lawyers and other key players in the case, Hickman paints a vivid portrait of a man who was failed by the justice system but ultimately triumphed over it.Ninety Times Guilty is a powerful and thought-provoking book that sheds light on the injustices of the American criminal justice system and the resilience of those who have been wronged by it. It is a must-read for anyone interested in true crime, social justice, or the human capacity for perseverance in the face of adversity.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
