Get into the mind of an expert witness in capital murder cases as she goes into the criminal minds of her defendants.

Dr. Allen is finalizing a manuscript with the working title, The Worst of the Worst: The Who, Why, and How of Capital Murderers. It sits at the intersection of true crime and forensic psychology. In it she chronicles the crimes, life stories, psychological makeup, and trials of a representative subset of seven men who were found guilty of capital murder. Four defendants received verdicts of life without parole; the other three received the death penalty.
