Pushed: State of Oklahoma vs. Amber Hilberling: The Inside Story of the Murder Case That Riveted the Bible Belt by J.R. Elias
Requirements: .ePUB reader, 1.3 MB
Overview: It was one push. One of the most controversial, disturbing, and captivating murder cases of the 21st century began the moment Amber Hilberling, a pregnant teenager raised in affluence, pushed her husband Josh inside their 25th-floor apartment living room. Amber watched in horror as Josh fell into a window, which collapsed on contact, then plummeted through the sweltering Oklahoma sky to his death.
What followed gripped an entire state and gave rise to international media attention. Dateline NBC, Dr. Phil, CNN, Fox News, and others focused their spotlight on a star-crossed young couple from Tulsa.
Amber claimed her push was self-defense while pregnant, that Josh was attacking her – again. But Josh’s family and friends launched a public campaign accusing Amber of being a mentally-ill monster, a physical abuser of the former football star. The media adopted that storyline from day one and ran wild, reporting with little regard to facts. The public tide against Amber was swift and vicious. Hate websites launched, resembling modern-day lynch mobs. Strangers called for her execution in graphic detail, harassing her and her family, even appearing at their home.
The State of Oklahoma charged her with murder and prosecuted her aggressively, using troubling tactics that – now revealed for the first time – call into question all notions of a fair trial.
The pressure drove Amber, new mother to a baby boy, to the edge. Just after this book was finished, the already-tragic story reached a shocking and heartbreaking new conclusion, captured in a newly-added Epilogue.
In Pushed, J.R. Elias, an award-winning journalist turned attorney who personally worked on the case, pulls back the curtains and shares the stunning full story: the explosive behind-the-scenes dramas, heated family conflicts, adultery, lies, betrayals, crucial evidence the prosecutor unlawfully withheld from the public and jury, the disturbing twists of the murder trial, and the toll the grueling case took on many lives, including the author’s own.
Neither the public nor the jury has ever heard the full story. Until now.
