Vigilante Sheriff

De: Victor Hill

Narrado por: Victor Hill

Victor Hill became Clayton County's first African American sheriff and made national headlines for firing twenty-seven people his first day in office. He then gained notoriety by effectively running criminals out of his jurisdiction, becoming the most feared sheriff in metro Atlanta. His reputation as a "crime fighter" inspired famed rappers to include him in their lyrics, and Grand Theft Auto gamers to add his patrol car with his name on it to chase them in pursuits. Hill transformed the Clayton County sheriff's office from a status quo agency that acted only as bailiffs, jailers, and process servers, into an effective crime-fighting machine, waging an unprecedented war on crime in metro Atlanta.

Now, from the jail cell of a federal prison in Arkansas, Victor Hill tells the riveting backstory of how and why he became sheriff, how he fought crime, and how long-time political enemies-plotted to have him indicted, wrongfully convicted, and thrown into a prison housing unit likened to the lion's den.

Hearing the story from the horses mouth.

I read this book in two days. I now have a greater understanding of what inspired Victor Hill to become the legendary crime fighter he is. I appreciate gaining context into the circumstances of his case. There are so many opinions and falsehoods that I hear about him that are laughable. So hearing the story from the horses mouth solidifies what I’ve always believed about this case being politically motivated. I appreciate how he parallels his experience in prison to a higher level of education with the inmates as his professors. The last chapter dedicated to speaking on their behalf, highlighting their concerns for judicial reform and giving specific examples of what needs to change is applauded. I am excited for his change in career paths becoming an author. I will wait patiently for the next book. This was a great read!!

Truth

It is a very interesting book very hard to put down once you start reading don’t believe what you see on the news.

For the Crimes He did not Commit

Another case of wrongful prosecution. Reform is necessary in the criminal justice world, now not later.

The irony and life imitating art of it all

This was a thoroughly captivating recount of Victory Hills life story. I felt like I was watching a really good movie that I didn’t want to end. I am truly inspired by his Passion and Thought Process,. I do hope he writes an encore with more details of his law enforcement encounters and solutions implementations.

What you hear on news is not the truth!!

Amazing true story of the corruption and lies that are behind the news stories that you see…. There is always way more to the story than ever gets told. Victor Hill suffered from corrupt investigators and a corrupt DOJ and now he won’t be silenced. It is a great book that people owe it to themselves to hear. Just imagine if a corrupt system could do this to a well respected Sheriff then what could they do to you!!
