Angels of Death by Gary C King

On 26 November 2001 Terry King was bludgeoned to death and his house set on fire. By the next afternoon his young sons confessed to their father's murder. They had spent the night of the murder in the home of their forty year old friend Ricky Chavez who was a convicted child molester. They were then charged as adults. The two boys then recanted their confessions and blamed Ricky Chavez for the murder. Alex also admitted to a sexual relationship with Ricky Chavez. The two boys and Ricky Chavez were then tried separately and were represented by the same attorney who then argued contradictory theories.The above is a short summary on the book Angels of Death by Gary C King. Gary C King is one of the few true crime male writers whose books I enjoy. He is especially good at only providing descriptions of sceneries when the reader needs it. I hate authors who describe each and every place regardless of the relevance. Gary C King provides this only when required. His books are straig
ht to the point and written very well.I thoroughly enjoyed Angels of Death and this is also a book which evoked an emotional response. I cannot believe that people do not see anything strange in a grown man keeping company with a bunch of children. I am especially not impressed with the boys' mother who was for the most part absent from their lives while their poor father tried his very best. She suddenly appears when they get convicted and wants to run the show and have an opinion on their attorneys as she wants the "best for her children. If you have to go on appearances these boys would be the last ones I would guess to turn out to be murderers. They look so clean and innocent and sweet. I personally believe that this Rick Chavez had a negative and very powerful influence on these boys. I know a lot of people have the mind set that child sexual abuse is not as serious as for example murder but the danger is that these child abusers are inherently evil, and the way they in
fluence these young minds who are by then so confused, can lead to catastrophic consequences. These young lives are ruined. Yes no one dies physically from being abused but the child's soul is for all intents and purposes never normal again. They might as well be dead. Unless they get psychological help in time they will never have successful adult lives and that to me is murder.In a nutshell this is a well written and obviously well researched book. A lot of trouble has been taken by the writer to have as much information as possible in order for the reader to be utterly convinced of the blatant guilt of these boys and the child molester, Ricky Chavez. As you will see though the wheels of justice were not so well oiled in this specific case.The web is a great medium for finding other opinions of readers of true crime stories.
