The police and prosecutorial misconduct was not only outrageous, but also led directly to the conviction of a woman we have found by clear and convincing evidence to have been actually innocent of first-degree murder. So said Philadelphia federal court judge Stewart Dalzell in 1997 as he overturned Lisa Lambert s 1992 conviction for the murder of her supposed romantic rival, Laurie Show. Sixteen months later, Lambert s conviction and life sentence were reinstated through further corruption in Lancaster County. Since then, she has fought doggedly to regain her freedom.
From her prison cell, Lambert vividly recounts the details of her turbulent childhood; her relationship with her violent boyfriend, Lawrence Yunkin, along with the couple s friend Tabitha Buck; her long, circuitous odyssey through the judicial system; and her attempts to survive in some of the country s toughest women s prisons.
David Brown, a lawyer in Philadelphia who conducted extensive research on the case, analyzes the complex legal issues at hand and reveals the sleazy, politically motivated misconduct engaged in by judges and prosecutors hell-bent on keeping Lisa incarcerated. Together, the authors tell a gripping story about a travesty of justice and a woman s boundless determination to vindicate herself.
In the end, it is you, the reader, who must decide: Did Lisa do it? Was she a killer or the victim of severe prosecutorial misconduct?

From the Inside Flap
"It is clear that this is an extraordinary case]].[The Court] has found that virtually all of the evidence which the Commonwealth used to convict Lisa Lambert of first-degree murder was either perjured, altered, or fabricated]].The police and prosecutorial misconduct was not only outrageous, but also led directly to the conviction of a woman we have found by clear and convincing evidence to have been actually innocent of first-degree murder]].In making a pact with the devil, Lancaster County lost its soul and almost executed an innocent, abused woman." With these powerful words in April 1997, Philadelphia federal court judge Stewart Dalzell threw out Lisa Lambert's 1992 conviction for the murder of a younger acquaintance, Laurie Show, and ordered the 24-year-old woman's immediate release from prison. However, corruption in Lancaster once again reared its ugly head, and 16 months later, Lisa's murder conviction and life sentence were reinstated. Since then, she has doggedly fought to have her wrongful conviction set aside and to regain her freedom. From her prison cell, Lisa vividly recounts the details of her turbulent childhood; her relationship with her violent boyfriend, Lawrence Yunkin, along with a third figure, Tabitha Buckher long, circuitous odyssey through the judicial system; and her ordeal trying to survive in some of the country's toughest women's prisons. Coauthor David Brown, who conducted extensive research on the case, analyzes the complex legal issues in this story, and reveals the sleazy and politically motivated misconduct engaged in by judges and prosecutors who were hell-bent on keeping Lisa incarcerated at all costs. Love, Murder, and Corruption in Lancaster County is a gripping account about a travesty of justiceand a woman's boundless determination to vindicate herself at last.

A killer seeks her freedom
By Tom Knapp
On Dec. 20, 1991, 16-year-old Laurie Show was brutally murdered in her Lancaster, Pennsylvania, home. That night, 19-year-old Lisa Michelle Lambert was arrested, along with friend Tabitha Buck and boyfriend Lawrence Yunkin. She was convicted of first-degree murder, for which she received a mandatory life sentence without possibility of parole. Buck, convicted of second-degree murder -- she reportedly held Show's legs down while Lambert slit the girl's throat -- also is serving life in prison, while Yunkin, whose involvement in the killing was never made clear but who convinced prosecutors he was just the driver, pleaded out for a 12-year sentence and is now working on his bowling score.
Lambert has been portrayed as a vicious, jealous young woman who killed Show because the younger girl had briefly dated Yunkin. In a series of appeals -- one of which briefly earned Lambert her freedom before it was reversed by a panel of federal judges -- she argued she was a victim, led by an abusive boyfriend and a spiteful friend who, she says, masterminded the murder.
Unable to persuade the courts of her innocence, Lambert has turned to the people -- hoping, no doubt, to drum up popular support, a la “Making a Murderer” -- by writing a lurid "tell-all" book about her version of events.
In her prelude, Lambert explains in florid prose that she decided to write the book in 2010, after a TV movie about her life re-aired. "My memories stirred again," she writes, "whispering softly like the swirling leaves carried on the brisk fall wind. I decided it was necessary at last for me to stop, catch my breath, and turn around to face the deadly truth of the coldest winter -- when my fatal silence about December 20 and the motives of others cost me my life."
More fiction than true crime, the book is interesting mostly because it's the first time since her brief flirtation with freedom in 1997 that Lambert has spoken publicly about the murder. Of course, her story contradicts much of the evidence against her. It comes across as nearly 400 pages of self-serving whining, and the prose is tedious to slog through.
By the way, David Brown -- a worker's compensation lawyer who has written four books about sports -- co-authored this book and will pocket the profits. I would be happier if the money was going to Laurie Show's family as long-overdue restitution, but they won't see a dime. Just saying.

Book of Lies
By AstridK
Lisa Michelle Lambert stalked Laurie Show prior to the murder. She was jealous of Laurie's relationship with her boyfriend Laurence Yunkin. She then, with her friend, Tabitha Buck, went to Laurie's home, beat her, strangled her and slit her throat. Her mother discovered her daughter bloody and barely conscious. Laurie, aside from telling her mother she loved her said, "Michelle did it,." That is all I need. Lisa Michelle Lambert, since being imprisoned has manipulated anyone who she can get to listen to her, with lies. I hate to use the word because I feel it is thrown around way too much in our culture but I have no other word to describe her--sociopath. However LML wound up in prison, corruption or no, she is where she is supposed to be. If you want to see the true story, watch "The Murder Of Laurie Show" with Bill Kurtis. It is currently available on Youtube. LML can say all she wants, as eloquently as she can but at the end of the day, she is still just Gone Girl.

but the fact remains that my money would've been better spent on Pez dispensers
By bluemooninmyeye
I can't believe I bought this book. Morbid curiosity, I guess, but the fact remains that my money would've been better spent on Pez dispensers. The writing isn't terrible, just extremely syrupy, melodramatic and unrealistically self-serving.
If you've ever seen 20/20 episodes with LML, this book will hold no surprises for you. You will not see a side to her that you've not already seen. She is the penultimate victim. ZERO accountability, period, for any bad decision she ever made, including but not limited to murder. Everyone is a liar except HER. And, God help us one and all, now she's got a workers' comp attorney on-board screaming from the rooftops because, clearly, he would be knowledgeable enough about criminal law to persuade readers of her innocence. Save your money and google court transcripts instead.
