Ed Conroy has reviewed The Trials of Eroy Brown:
Some of the best writing in this book is revealed at its heart, which revolves around the chapter “Eroy’s Story,” in which Berryhill synthesizes Brown’s testimony into a compelling narrative of the events which made Brown believe he was about to be murdered by Moore.
Berryhill’s account of the work done by Brown’s defense lawyers, Craig Washington, Bill Habern and Tim Sloan, is both inspiring and concretely written. Passages based on direct testimony transport the reader straight into the courtroom, and paint Brown as a remarkable, unflappable witness.
This is a book for the record, which hopefully will be read widely by up-and-coming students of law everywhere and by anyone who believes the conditions of a society’s prisons are a reflection of its degree of civilization.
