True crime book examines unusual Georgia case

Defense lawyer and former Georgia legislator McCracken Posten Jr. now is adding author to his list of accomplishments with the publishing of 'Zenith Man' - an examination on the arrest and court case of Alvin Ridley. Poston talk with Sharon Lawson about the murder case, his friendship with Ridley, and more.

Georgia defense lawyer McCracken Poston Jr. on his new book "Zenith Man: Death, Love, and Redemption in a Georgia Courtroom": The tabloid headlines screamed "SICKO HOLDS HIS WIFE HOSTAGE FOR 30 YEARS, THEN KILLS HER, COPS CHARGE." When Alvin Ridley’s wife was discovered dead in her home, residents of the small town of Ringgold, Georgia, assumed the recluse, hoarder, and odd figure naturally murdered her. Idealistic young defense attorney McCracken Poston Jr., still stinging from a failed congressional run, had already encountered the eccentric Ridley –dubbed "Zenith Man" for his work repairing televisions - and took the case. His client was belligerent, incomprehensible, secretive, a puzzle for his lawyer. The entire case seemed doomed to fail, until the diligent lawyer looked past the community’s biases, as well as his own, to reveal the astonishing truth.
