EXCERPT: INTRODUCTION AND ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS When work began on this book in early 1990, my main objective was to do justice to a tale whose potential ran in several directions.

This was also a story of two unconventional families living side by side under pressures which had warped their lives out of any semblance of normalcy. By the time I came on the scene, both families had shared a fenceline for five years since their twin tragedies had taken place, living out what can only be described as an appalling mockery of the concept of neighbourliness. The obsessive intensity of their feelings was mirrored in the manoeuvrings which underlay the investigation and prosecution of the murder case itself. While the case had only begun to show its true dimensions, it was obvious to me that it would afford an unusually piercing glimpse into the strange and unpredictable workings of the justice system. What a world lay within...To the astonishment of everybody involved, a legal proceeding scheduled to take less than three months stretched into two and a half years. In the end, it will be for the reader to decide what value society has derived from the uncounted millions of dollars and the tens of thousands of person-hours that went into this case. Suffice to say, the book does not purport to be an "objective" account, devoid of all opinion. The simple act of selecting what was important out of voluminous court transcripts, police reports and interviews is in itself a subjective process. However, my purpose is not to thump the reader between the eyes with opinions. Within these pages, there is more than enough information pertaining to the beliefs and convictions of each side in the drama for the reader to make up his or her mind about their motives and actions...
