Richardson had a gun, and the two exchanged shots. In the melee that followed, Skagen was fatally wounded by a cop who rushed to the scene. In the ensuing trial, William Kunstler handled Richardson's defense and the author of this book, then assistant district attorney, prosecuted the case. Here is a first-hand, behind-the-scenes account of every step of the proceedings.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Knopf Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45408862765207,"sku":"9780394725314","price":1523.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780394725314.webp?v=1767310688","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/no-heroes-no-villains-the-story-of-a-murder-trial-9780394725314","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
