- Summary:
- Examines the story behind the bizarre trial of Jack Ruby, a Dallas nightclub owner who murdered Lee Harvey Oswald, the accused assassin of President John F. Kennedy, live on national television.
- On November 24, 1963, two days after the killing of President Kennedy, a troubled nightclub owner named Jack Ruby slipped into the Dallas police station and assassinated Lee Harvey Oswald on live television. It is part of the conspiracy theories that resonate to this day-- yet few remember the bizarre trial that followed three months later. Abrams and Fisher examine the details behind the first major trail of the television century. How does one defend a man who pulled the trigger in front of millions? And how did Jack Ruby die an innocent man? -- adapted from jacket
