She'd been stabbed fifty-five times. <p/>First responders concluded that Betsy was dead for hours when Russ discovered her. No blood was found implicating Russ and surveillance video receipts and friends' testimony all supported his alibi. Yet incredibly police and the prosecuting attorney ignored the evidence. In their minds Russ was guilty. But prominent defense attorney Joel J. Schwartz quickly recognized the real killer. <p/>The motive was clear. Days before her murder the terminally ill Betsy replaced her husband with her friend Pamela Hupp as her life insurance beneficiary. Still despite the prosecution's flimsy case and Hupp's transparent lies Russ was convicted--leaving Hupp free to kill again. <p/><i>Bone Deep</i> takes readers through the perfect storm of miscalculations and missteps that led to an innocent man's conviction--and recounts Schwartz's successful battle to have that conviction overturned.
