and I'm not being sarcastic. There is nothing "new and earth-shattering" about Selena or her family; it is what it says it is - a book about the trial. What you learn, though, is how much more there really was and how differently the trial appeared to be going from the prosecutors' and, my guess is, the defense's perspectives than it was from the media's. Mr. Valdez even lets us know what happened after the trial in the appeals that Yolanda filed and why she wasn't eligible for the death penalty.

Excellent book, but very long. (Held my attention, but took awhile to get through it.) This is not a Selena fan book - it's strictly about the trial of her assasin. If you are interested in court proceedings, and happen to be a Selena fan, then this is a great book for you.

This is a great book. I was not able to put it down. If you are interested in what happened during the trial than I highly recommend this book. The book reveals especially how easily the defense team was able to use the media to their advantage and as a result the prosecution not only had to fight inside the courtroom but outside as well to find Justice For Selena.

This book is about the trial.Everything that happened at the trial,how they prepared for the trial.About everthing that was done to get Justice for Selena.I highly Recomend this book.
