Disordered minds
(Book)

In 1970, Howard Stamp, a mentally retarded twenty-year-old, was charged with brutally murdering his grandmother. The evidence was controversial, but Stamp was convicted. Three years later, he committed suicide. After trying to bring Stamp's case to public attention for years, George Gardener teams up with anthropologist Dr. Jonathan Hughes, who has re-examined Stamp's case for a book on injustice. The more George learns about Jonathan, the more similarities she discovers between scientist and subject.
