At the trial of Celeste Beard Johnson, unsigned and computer
generated letters became part of the circumstantial evidence
presented to the jury. Three and four times, these letters
mysteriously showed up and the court allowed them to document
Celeste's thoughts. It seemed that when theory needed to be proven,
an anonymous letter was produced.
Nancy Hall, Celeste's mother, kept letters and cards sent to her
from her daughter, Celeste. They provide a dramatic
difference in the events that occurred before and after the
shooting of Steven Beard, Celeste's husband. During the
five years it took to appeal Celeste's conviction,
Nancy Hall compiled the letters from Celeste along with trial
testimony,
to prove that the jury was wrong to convict.
Wounded Bird- ISBN: 978-1-4389-3390-0 includes letters
from the Gatesville,
Texas prison where Celeste is serving time for the crime she did
not commit.
