On this week’s podcast we talk to author McCracken Poston about his book, Zenith Man; Death, Love, and Redemption in a Georgia Courtroom. This book tells the story of Alvin and Virginia Ridley, their peculiar yet loving marriage, Virginia’s tragic death, and Alvin’s subsequent arrest for her murder. Poston takes us through the trial with compassionate clarity, guiding the reader through Alvin’s unique behaviors, a community’s bias, and a lawyer’s discovery of himself.
