About “Lying in Judgment”

Imagine being a juror on a murder trial where you know that the defendant is innocent – because the guilty party is you!

That’s the shattering premise behind Camas novelist Gary Corbin’s long-awaited groundbreaking legal thriller, Lying in Judgment, released March 5, 2016, after over a decade of development.

Protagonist Peter Robertson, 33, discovers his wife is cheating on him. Following her suspected boyfriend one night, he erupts into a rage, beats him and leaves him to die… or so he thought. Soon he discovers that he has killed the wrong man – a perfect stranger.

Six months later, impaneled on a jury, he realizes that the murder being tried is the one he committed. After wrestling with his conscience, he works hard to convince the jury to acquit the accused man. But the prosecution’s case is strong as the defendant had both motive and opportunity to commit the murder. As the pressure builds, Peter begins to slip up and reveal things that only the murderer would know. As jurors one by one declare their intention to convict, Peter careens toward a nervous breakdown. The story concludes with a startling revelation that will shock some – and leave even the most jaded reader grinning with satisfaction.

The book is available online: www.Amazon.com

Camas, WA — More than 1,100 local members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and their friends, gathered at Doc Harris Stadium Saturday to commemorate a cherished milestone in the faith’s U.S. history — namely Pioneer Day. The annual event helps contemporary members of their faith recall the legacy 19th century members left while on trek from Illinois to what is known today as Utah.

The early members of the faith were forced numerous times to leave their homes in various mid-Western states, and they had hoped to settle in Nauvoo, Illinois. But it wasn’t meant to be, as they were persecuted, and forced to escape to Utah.
