Contents
Description
Nelson served as serial killer Ted Bundy's final lawyer before his execution in 1989. The book describes her attempts to spare Bundy from the death penalty, and gives her impressions of him as a person.
Court case
Nelson sued novelist John Grisham in 1995, alleging his book The Chamber had striking similarities to her work. After Grisham prevailed in a lower court ruling in 1996, the case was dismissed on appeal in 1997.
