In addition to the detailed descriptions provided by various witnesses, Knepper is able to tell us what the Horner's store looked like (a "narrow path slicing through the collection of battered furniture, ancient stoves, refrigerators, and assorted bric-a-brac climbing to the ceiling"), the extent of the Horners' injuries (Mrs. Horner's eyes were swollen and bruised and she had a bloody gash on the back of her head, while her husband had a lump "the size of a golf ball" on the top of his), and the first pieces of evidence collected (an intact green soda bottle and a broken brown one). ...Knepper's main concern, it seems, is less with fleshing out the relationship of the Trenton Six to the thick contextual soup of its own time and more with how it speaks to the present day and, in particular, what it can contribute to a larger critique of the American judicial system and its continued use, in many areas, of the death penalty.
