Good synopsis, but I need to make one or two corrections. The targets name was Ken Burroughs, not Bora.
Also, Smith County Justice and Rush both deal with the role of Kelly Ireland, the Asst. US Attorney who stumbled across the scandal when a Texas Ranger made an off hand comment to him about "that problem you got over there in Tyler". I wish Ireland's role had been portrayed in the movie. -

FIRSTLY Not sure how the film ends so not sure if this would be a spoiler or notjust ordered the film so will see.
I've read the book 7 times so far and every time I finish it I just wanna pick it up again, the ending is quite sad in the book as Kristen aka Kim ends up going to jail for giving false evidence and using drugs -

THat really sucks. They nail a bunch of pushers, they were risking their lives-drug use was part of the undercover-the police investigations should have had them under counseling during this process, to protect them. It sucks they did jail time for what they had to go through. Was it right they used drugs? Was it right they lied? No, but a ton of people get off with rehab as the "punishment".

Thought all of you might find this very helpful. Especially with everyone trying to withhold the material. Definitely didn't expect to see this here!

Yes that book is very helpful in learning the truth. Wish that I could speak to someone that lived in the town at the time.
