We, the Jury

Deciding the Scott Peterson Case

De: various

Narrado por: Shannon Engemann

We, the Jury is the dramatic story of the seven jurors who convicted Scott Peterson of murdering his wife, Laci, and their unborn son, Conner, despite a series of internal battles that brought the first major murder trial of the 21st century to the brink of a mistrial.

The Peterson jurors argued and disagreed but eventually bonded to seal the fate of the icy killer who dumped his victims into the bullet-gray waters of San Francisco Bay. The seven jurors of We, the Jury were seven average Americans who never imagined the horrors they would face or the phantoms that would haunt them after they convicted the enigmatic murderer and recommended that he be put to death.

This is the story of how the American jury system worked after being battered by critics for the way it functioned in the trials of O.J. Simpson and Michael Jackson. Unlike the jurors in those trials, who second guessed themselves, the Peterson jurors do not question their decisions. It wasn't one thing that condemned Scott Peterson; it was everything.

Reseñas de la Crítica

"If you're a fan of Law & Order or CSI, this riveting book is for you." (Roger Friedman, Fox News)

Terrible Narration

The story was interesting, although there were times I felt it was going in circles. It likely was written better than it was spoken. The narrator had a terrible time pronouncing even some of the everyday words correctly. There were also many long dead spaces in the narration - long enough that I wondered if my phone had turned off - and then it would suddenly pick back up again. Very distracting.

Narrator-less

The book itself was okay but the narrator was the worst I've ever heard. She had a total monotone throughout. But the part that caused me to write a review is her pronunciation. Or should I say lack of it. A few examples are:
...the word 'hyperbole'-she pronounced it "hy-per-bowl"...WRONG!!!
...Laci's maiden name was "Rocha"...the narrator pronounced it "Roh-ka".
...one time she'd pronound "Delucci" right and the next time she'd say "De-loo-key"
In addition, she didn't pronounce some words the same throughout...one time she'd pronounce a word one way and another time she'd do it differently.
It spoiled the book for me. I'm just an ordinary person, but it's not that hard to learn to speak correctly and pronounce words right...at least the victim's NAME!!!
I won't ever get another book with her as narrator. I feel like I wasted my money.

Just ok

I thought it would get more into the legal evidence. It did give a good account of what it is like to be a juror.

Most bizarre recording... is the narrator a human?

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

If the narrator had inflection in her voice.

What was the most compelling aspect of this narrative?

The case is interesting/

How did the narrator detract from the book?

She seems to have a possibly computer generated voice. The pronunciation errors were hysterical which was kind of funny. The narrator ruins the listen/

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

The story is very sad. I watched the trial but it has been awhile.

Any additional comments?

I would advise people to spend their money on a different audible book or buy the book.

Unbearable Narration

Any additional comments?

The narrator is just awful She reads fast, with no tone influx. I cant bear listening to her! I want my credit back!
