By Two and Two: The Scandalous Story of Twin Sisters Accused of a Shocking Crime of Passion

What an intense and heartbreaking story.

With twins accused of conspiring to murder one of their husbands, an alcoholic and drug-fueled pathological liar at the center of the entire farce, and the weight of racist, Southern, and judgemental jurors, this story winds through the trial and wrongful conviction of one twin and the trial and acquittal - based on the same evidence - of the other.

For followers of the true crime genre, this is a must read. Schutze’s epilogue outlines beautifully his journey from believing in the guilt of the sisters to realizing what a horrible miscarriage of justice this entire case and trial turned out to be for Betty Wilson.

At the heart of the story was the, by all accounts, beautiful soul of Jack Wilson, who was brutally murdered for no reason.

Schutze wove together the stories of these main players - warts and all - deftly and respectfully, making this a well-written and carefully considered account of a truly shocking story.
