"Mortal Evidence" pure Wecht, paper says

The Pittsburgh Tribune Review describes Dr. Wecht's new book, "Mortal Evidence: The Forensics Behind Nine Shocking Cases," as thorny, provocative and compelling, calling it "pure Wecht." But while its touted as a book for those who enjoy the "C.S.I." television shows, the Trib says it goes far beyond that medium.

The book dissects cases Dr. Wecht has worked on ranging from the well-known such as O.J. Simpson to the lesser-known like the "Teenage Baby Killers" from Newark, DE. Check out the Trib's review at Cyril Wecht shocks, intrigues with 'Mortal Evidence'.
