What do readers think of The Fence by Dick Lehr? Write your own review.

An excellent read. The story is thoroughly documented by a reporter/writer without an agenda. Policemen and their personal history, street gang members, prosecutors with their associated investigators play their roles as a consequence of the events that stem from the night at the Fence. It is a sad but predictable result that prejudices, the weakness of human nature, apparently rational but wrongful conclusions and the power of the prosecutors and investigators create a double travesty of justice. Most of the players in this real drama acted out over ten plus years have little be proud and some behaved in shamelessly. We all can profit from the story and learn valuable life lessons.
