Summary: Short Shrift to an Important Factor
Comment: This book detailing the Fort Worth murders at Cullen Davis's mansion presented excellent background information in every respect but one, and that was Davis's life in college at Texas A&M. Cartwright briefly mentioned that Davis had been in the Corps of Cadets there, and later during one of the trials cussed out the press (explaining, "That's how Texas Aggies say goodnight") -- but there was really no actual detail about Davis's life as an Aggie. What outfit was he in? Who was his fish old lady? Was he a waiter at Duncan, or a member of the fish Drill Team? What position did he hold as a sophomore -- was he the guidon bearer? How about his time as an upperclassman, junior and senior? Was he a first sergeant or commander? Was he a Ross Volunteer? In which dorms did he reside? Why were there no photos of him in uniform, such as a senior boot picture?
These years comprised the foundation of Davis's life, the crux of his persona, yet they were completely neglected in the telling of his story. Let us hope future editions of this book rectify that omission, and provide background about Cullen's formative period in the Corps at Aggieland.

Summary: Outstanding Book!
Comment: This was a very good book on the T. Cullen Davis murder trials.
Davis was accused of killing his step daughter and the boyfriend
of his estranged wife Priscilla. Cullen Davis was a multiwealthy
oil field person. After being arrested thw trial was granted a change of venue to Amarillo. Here the scene was taken over by legendary trial lawyer Racehorse Haynes. Haynes proceeded to win an acquittal for T. Cullen Davis. This was noted as being a spectacular trial Davis was again arrested for conspiracy to commit murder once again on his estranged wife and a presiding judge. Davis was put on trial twice before being acquitted.This
book gives excellent detail on these outrageous action that occured in Texas. This book is hard to put down. You will enjoy it.
