Vicki asked Jeff Hobbs:

I have a few questions but they won’t fit here so will ask each separately. My first is about Skeet Douglas. I tried to find info but only found his post conviction ruling. Do you believe he was guilty. Things were way too sketchy to me. The survivor’s story and waiting, etc. As we all know, most cops are good but being set up happens and it seems things were too convenient for someone that seemed very intelligent?

Jeff Hobbs Hi, thank you again for asking. I really can't speak to the innocence or guilt of a person I've never met, with regards to a crime committed over thirty years ago. Even after spending dozens of hours going through transcripts and such, it's hard to get through all the various legal layers and shadings. As you said, it's sketchy. I would put forward that it's hard to see someone as bright and loving as Rob putting so much of his time and spirit proving the innocence of his father if he did not entirely believe in that innocence. Sincerely, Jeff

Tracy

Tracy asked Jeff Hobbs:

I loved your book. Do you think that Robert Peace's father was wrongly convicted? The way you portrayed him did not sync with a person who would engage in such a violent act, yet it seems improbable that the gun would have been stolen from his apartment and then returned to his apartment. Do you have any opinion on his guilt or innocence?

Hi Jeff, I just wanted to let you know that I read The Short Tragic Life of Robert Peace three years ago now, and I am still talking about it. In fact, I am currently interviewing for medical schools, and I have brought this book up as one of the most important and impactful books I have ever read. Thank you for impacting my life with this book. And for following my reviews on Goodreads!?
