I'm working on a book in 3 parts. The first part is done but I need some expert help before I can write the next section, as it will include the aftermath & trial... and the only legal experience I have is from Law & Order. :p It's a psychological horror about a psychotic killer and the woman he takes hostage; the story gets quite graphic in places, but not gratuitously so. If you're still interested, please let me know!

thanx much!

Start watching CSI. all of them and maybe Monk.

The Closer looks like a good bet, and Criminal Minds with Mandy Patinkin (YUM) might give you some insight. :p

Have you read An American Tragedy by Theodore Dreiser?

The most boring part was the trial.

Read The Gold of Cape Girardeau by Morley Swingle and Killshot by Elmore Leonard to get a feeling for courts in Missouri.

Read "And The Sea Will Tell" by Vincent Bugliosi. It is the best true crime book ever written and is heavy on the courtroom drama.
