disturbingly vivid first-hand perspective of the most gruesome death penalty cases in which he played a key
role, including the infamous Casey Marie Anthony, who was dubbed “America's Most Hated Mom” after her
shocking acquittal.
The Velvet Hammeris the gripping, true crime memoir of former Chief Judge Belvin Perry Jr., who sentenced
some of Florida's most evil and notorious murderers to death, fulfilling his oath to uphold justice. Perry provides
a clear, accurate description of America's criminal justice system and explains why the death penalty can, and
should, work and how it was applied to certain capital murder cases he either prosecuted or presided over.

and chief judge, and how he ended up presiding over one of the world's most intriguing capital murder trials of
the century: State of Florida v. Casey Marie Anthony.
From the widow who slowly poisoned her lovers; to the lust murderer who mutilated his victim while she was still
alive; to the serial killer who slayed a family of four, including his own child; as well as several other violent and
frightening murders, Perry spares none of the gory details when bringing each case back to life in his debut,
true crime memoir.
