Format: Hardcover
The book came out of an Atlantic assignment to cover the Juan Corona mass murder trial in Yuba City, California.
Kidder a contributing editor to The Atlantic, and back then in his youthful prime, later expressed his dissatisfaction with the book refusing to allow it to be reprinted, making this title a very sought after little treasure, almost always featured on the most wanted lists of true-crime collectors.
A real masterpiece of journalism, Kidder rode trains packed with farm workers, experiencing the cold and hunger, working along side them picking peaches and trying to understand their vulnerabilities. He spoke to the victims' families and attended the court proceedings even contemplating suspects other than the accused.
Juan Vallego Corona was a labour farm contractor, whom was accused of murdering migrant workers whom worked for him, by stabbing them and by bludgeoning and crushing their skulls as well as slashing them with a sharp instrument believed to be a machete. Some had also been shot.
Their bodies all discovered in graves strewn all over an orchard that Corona's men were working nearby, with the count believed to be much higher than the official last count of 25 bodies.
Corona was eventually convicted of 25 counts of first-degree murder and is currently serving 25 consecutive life sentences at Corcoran State Prison in California.
What followed with Kidder's book is a masterpiece that pointed out the incompetence on both sides of the case, investigators and attorneys alike.Read more ›
