Middle section dragged like crazy for me. Didn't pick up again until the case broke. Cannot believe how different trials were then - no Miranda? No mandatory appeals? Capote seemed to think that alleging ineffective assistance is a personal affront, but it's not. I don't know. I'm looking at it from a defense lawyer's perspective.
