Get your facts straight. As the brother of someone who was mentioned in this book, I am completely appalled at the lack of research that went into this. It claims my brother MURDERED somebody when that never happened. It also uses a crap newspaper report (there were only 2 sources for this incident) and doesn't cite its source. If this got in, what kind of other bullshit made its way into this piece of garbage? S is for stupid indeed.
