“If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads.” –Ralph Waldo Emerson
Synopsis
|The courthouse called first thing this morning,| Tanya tells me. |They've got an oddball on their hands.| |Don't we all,| I philosophize. I'm a public defender, and oddballs in my line of work are something rare and wonderful like golf balls on a driving range. |No,| she says, |this is different. You hear about the murder the other night at Oquirrh Park?| |As a matter of fact, I did.| The morning after a softball game, one of the players was found dead between third base and home. Apparently, someone took batting practice on his forehead. |Well, the guy turned himself in yesterday afternoon. He says God commanded him to do it.| Welcome to Kimball County, a predominantly LDS corner of northern Utah where the prosecution is about to put God on trial--at least that's how the defendant, Tracy Parker, sees it. Scott Fernelius, the public defender, is supposed to give Parker the best defense possible, but Parker doesn't want a defense. He confesses that he killed a man, but he insists he's innocent. And so begins the strangest trial of the new millennium.
