Review: X-Rated: The Mitchell Brothers: A True Story of Sex, Money, and Death
X-Rated: The Mitchell Brothers: A True Story of Sex, Money, and Death by David McCumber
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
If you can set aside the fact that the Mitchell brothers were pornographers, this true crime work documents there legal advancements for free speech and their pioneering efforts in the sex enterntainment. This adds flesh to the murder story where one brother kills the other. I saw the documentary on that crime on cable and that prompted me to seek out this book. The last thrid of the book is the trial testimony which was one of the first cases after Prop. 115 in California, the "Crime Victims Justice Reform Act" (1990), and is thus historical in its own right.
