Description
On January 14, 1968, 51-year-old Buford Lolley was brutally murdered in Enteprise, Alabama. It took nearly nine years to arrest a suspect, who was later acquitted of the murder charges. After more than a half-century, the Lolley murder remains a stone cold case. This book represents an opportunity to reexamine this terrible, unsolved crime and its aftermath under an objective light. Both the murder victim and David Hutto, the man who was almost certainly falsely accused of murder, deserve the opportunity to have their stories told. At the same time, the author remembers a simpler and more innocent time which was ultimately disrupted by evil.
