Marcia Clark's book, Trial by Ambush, re-examines the 1953 murder trial of Barbara Graham, who was executed for the crime. Clark's investigation, utilizing trial transcripts and previously unseen documents, reveals that the prosecution withheld key evidence, including a statement from a crucial witness that contradicted his testimony and implicated another party.
