Probing into a trial that deliberated on Betty's promiscuity, her alcoholism, and her adulterous affair with a black man rather than any physical evidence against her, critically acclaimed journalist Jim Schutze reveals how sex, politics, and corruption could possibly have led to a scandalous miscarriage of justice that kept the real killer from facing full penalty for his cold-blooded deed. A fascinating true crime account, By Two and Two is a must-listen investigation into the harrowing details of a sensational murder case.

Story
On October 23, 1989, affluent businessman Charles Stuart made a frantic 911 call from his car to report that he and his seven-months-pregnant wife, Carol, a lawyer, had been robbed and shot by a Black male in the Mission Hill neighborhood of Boston. By the time police arrived, Carol was dead, and the baby was soon lost as well. The attack incited a furor during a time of heightened racial tension in the community. Even more appalling, while the injuries were real, Stuart’s story was a hoax: He was the true killer.

To cover up the chaos, they kept their clothes neat and got good grades. But when they were teenagers, an arson fire destroyed their home and killed their parents. Rumors were thick that summer that smart, angry, 14-year-old Lisa set the blaze. Then, adult powers they did not understand squelched the investigation. As teenagers accustomed to keeping silent, they packed up and moved on.

Publisher's summary
In October 1997, the town of Ringgold, Georgia, was shaken by reports of a murder in its midst. A dead woman was found in Alvin Ridley's house—and even more shockingly, she was the wife no one knew he had.
McCracken Poston had been a state representative before he lost his bid for US Congress and returned to his law career. Alvin Ridley was a local character who once sold and serviced Zenith televisions. Though reclusive and an outsider, the "Zenith Man," as Poston knew him, hardly seemed capable of murder.
Alvin was a difficult client, storing evidence in a cockroach-infested suitcase, unwilling to reveal key facts to his defender. Calling on medical experts, testimony from Alvin himself, and a wealth of surprising evidence gleaned from Alvin's house, Poston presented a groundbreaking defense that allowed Alvin to return to his peculiar lifestyle, a free man.
Years after his trial, Alvin was diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder, a revelation that sheds light on much of his lifelong personal battle. Part true crime, part courtroom drama, Zenith Man is also the moving story of an unexpected friendship between two very different men that changed—and perhaps saved—the lives of both.

What would happen if a shy introvert lived like a gregarious extrovert for one year? If she knowingly and willingly put herself in perilous social situations that she’d normally avoid at all costs? Writer Jessica Pan intends to find out. With the help of various extrovert mentors, Jessica sets up a series of personal challenges (talk to strangers, perform stand-up comedy, host a dinner party, travel alone, make friends on the road, and much, much worse) to explore whether living like an extrovert can teach her lessons that might improve the quality of her life.

In weeks after the September 11 attacks, 18-year-old Mansoor Adayfi was kidnapped by Afghan militia and sold to US forces for bounty money. After months of interrogations, he was sent to the US military prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, as one of its first prisoners. Like the nearly 800 other men imprisoned at Guantanamo, Adayfi didn’t know why he was imprisoned or for how long. He had never seen a skyscraper and couldn’t imagine what the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center looked like, much less how they were destroyed.

When looking at the developmental years of adult criminals and juvenile delinquents or the selfish patterns of anyone that we must rub shoulders with, the question is asked "How does one get this way?" Typically we can see the answers within their genetic mental health history which may hint of possible concern and their first 5 years after birth which is their most impressionable social training ground.

Historian Paul Jankowski reveals that it was collective mentalities and popular beliefs that drove this crucial period that sent nations on the path to war, as much as any rational calculus called "national interest".

This book opens your eyes to make you observe the world around you much better than you've ever done before! Positively inspiring, making you audit the way you look at every person you ever encounter. I was surprised having heard this story before at just how much that reading it makes you want to be the third friend in this relationship of lawyer & client.
Highly recommended for true crime enthusiasts as well as this book literally puts you inside the courtroom, as you just hope and pray for everything to be ok!
Laughed and cried, as well as just about every emotion one could have..

SUCKED IN!!!!
Ok listen I don't read. I can say I've only read one book that I recall the past 10+ years. I even cheated a bit on this one and listened to a man read it to me on the Audible App. Zenith Man: Death, Love, and Redemption in a Georgia Courtroom Book by McCracken Poston Jr. I've heard about Mr. McCracken Poston over the years, have seen recent posts about said book on FB, and well most of you know we live close enough to Ringgold to know locations and names in the book. I must say it is a MUST READ/LISTEN TO! I giggled, laughed out loud, smirked, teared up, and even at some points had tears come out of my eyes. Great job Mr. Poston and @Alvin Ridley(tagged purposely like he has a FB ha, ha, ha NOT), I'm so happy for you although this took place many years ago and God Speed! As someone who loves the elderly, disabled, or anyone with a "difference" (for lack of better words). My career the past 20+ years in caregiving has taught me to love these people with a HUGE heart. Alvin Ridley now has such a special place in my heart.
P.S. Mr. Poston if you ever read this I would LOVE to join you and Mr. Ridley for lunch any day of the week!

Simplicity of this book grabbed me from the beginning! No over use of magnanimous wording ! Well done !
I just finished the audible version of this book. The book was interesting , well written and gave me several good laughs!
The narrator made me feel like I was actually listening to the author.
Well done!

Zenith Man
Poston does such an amazing job with his descriptive tale that you feel like you are standing on the streets of Ringgold, hearing and smelling the Zenith Man as he creeps by. A truly brilliant work of Southern lore.

Awesome, Astonishing, Addictive!
I don’t know what to say! I’m not much of a reader so when I noticed the book was on audible I quickly downloaded it and for 2 days I binged it. It replaced my usual 80/90’s country and me belting every word to every song. I demanded silence to hear every word. Congratulations Ken!

I just loved this book
At first I’m not sure I was quite understanding Alvin but then as I kept listening I just fell more and more in love with the story. Great book. Highly recommend!
