The question soon arose, was Caril a kidnapped victim, or a heartless accomplice?</p><p>Assigned to her case, Attorney John McArthur initially accepted the assignment out of a sense of Constitutional duty. But as he delved deeper, he found that the truth was far more complicated than anyone was letting on.

The story continues through all it influenced, such as Stephen King, who became a horror writer because of it, Bruce Springsteen, who wrote a whole album about it, Terrence Malick, Oliver Stone, Martin Sheen, and Peter Jackson, who wrote his first major movie based on the Starkweather-Fugate incident.</p><p>Pro Bono explores aspects of this incredible story that have never been revealed before, and sheds new light on these terrifying and complex events.</p>...3147111Pro Bono: The 18-Year Defense of Caril Ann Fugate00https://www.gandhi.com.mx/pro-bono-the-18-year-defense-of-caril-ann-fugate-9781301110889/phttps://gandhi.vtexassets.com/arquivos/ids/3136015/94c76f8b-7dc2-485b-9f73-0f309e4fc6a7.jpg?v=638384929118600000OutOfStockMXN0DIEbook20139781301110889_W3siaWQiOiIyYWViY2M4ZC03Y2NmLTRiYjYtODdlNS1hMWFiZWFmNjJiMGEiLCJsaXN0UHJpY2UiOjYxLCJkaXNjb3VudCI6MCwic2VsbGluZ1ByaWNlIjo2MSwiaW5jbHVkZXNUYXgiOnRydWUsInByaWNlVHlwZSI6IklwcCIsImN1cnJlbmN5IjoiTVhOIiwiZnJvbSI6IjIwMjQtMDUtMjFUMTg6MDA6MDBaIiwicmVnaW9uIjoiTVgiLCJpc1ByZW9yZGVyIjpmYWxzZX1d9781301110889_<p>In 1958, 19-year-old Charlie Starkweather went on a murder spree that paralyzed Nebraska, shocked the nation, and left 11 people dead.
