Peace Between the Lines - Paperback

by Sherman Williams (Author)

Fifteen years is a long time . . . Sherman Williams waited his entire life to have a shot at playing in the NFL-and, he made it, too. Life was full. Dreams were realized. Until, that is, the three-time champion began living the life he tried so hard to stay away from while growing up in Prichard, Alabama. Peace Between the Lines offers readers a glimpse into Sherman's life as he and his attorney fight for his freedom. Chronicling each day of his trial, the prosecution lays out its case for why Sherman Williams should be found guilty of federal charges for dealing drugs. The defense sees it otherwise. Adapted from official court transcripts, for the first time, readers can decide for themselves. Was Sherman Williams guilty on all counts?
