yichusdik: I haven’t read the book yet, but from what I’ve heard, she never said it absolutely happened. She said her husband told her that he’d heard it through the grapevine. So it may be hearsay, but she does present it as such. Again, I don’t know what happened, nor do I really care. My point is that the evidence against her was not really good at all.
As for the book being “deeply flawed”, almost every review I’ve read actually says the book is very well written, and very engrossing. You may not like what it says, but don’t knock the writing because of the content.
