Scary people, scary book!

(From the back cover) Four maniacs, chanting, shouting, gesticulating, stoned on their own power... Four defendants, charged with murder, charged with their own adrenalin, clowning with death, spitting their venom at a bland society stoned on comfort and security... Four demons, painted, costumed, self-mutilated, beating their own lawyers in front of a helpless judge, hypnotizing the jury, turning the courtroom into a comicosmic disaster area... Countless witnesses, arrogant, incoherent, barefoot, their heads turned inside out from overdoses... Here is all the perversion and passion, as seen through the eyes of a juror who spent nine and a half months with eleven strangers - the bizarre trial that was a fitting end to the weirdest cult murders since pagan times. The "Helter Skelter" trial of Charles Manson and his Blood Family.
