He Killed For The Money. He Got A Spot On Death Row.
Review by Kim Cantrell
Jimmy Robertson
Wanting to help their oldest child overcome his destructive ways, they allowed Jimmy to move back into their home following his short stay in prison for the burgulary of a neighbor’s home.
In return for their love, the elder Robertsons would die a brutal death at the hands of their boy as his friend Meredith Moon sat in a room just feet away.
Lyn Riddle details the story of the Robertson double homicide in her book Family Blood.
Although an interesting case, the author’s writing style leaves a lot to be desired.
Readers are subjected to the long drawn out trial monologues that fail to produce any drama or theatrics of any sort.
Although I typically enjoy the writings of Lyn Riddle, this isn’t a book I can recommend.
Updates on Jimmy Robertson and Meredith Moon:
