The Lynching: The Story of Jerome Boyatt

By Jerry Kidd

In the early spring of 1933, Jerome Boyatt defends himself and his brother from an unlawful police assault and in the process kills the high sheriff of Pickett County, Tennessee, and his deputy. This deputy is also the sheriff's son. Posse's, especially one from out of state led by the other son of the dead sheriff, tries for weeks to find and apprehend Jerome Boyatt. The police use torture, kidnapping, threats and terrorism in their attempts to catch Jerome. The story centers around the misuse of police authority and the overreach of the law when out of control. This story encompasses history, crimes, corruption, mystery, excitement, action for a great presentation of the thesis of how government can easily go astray.
