If McCracken Poston Jr is not in court representing criminal defendants in the Catoosa County Courthouse in Ringgold, Georgia, there’s a good chance he’s on the move, traveling to a convention of crime story enthusiasts in New York City or a book signing at a Books-a-Million store in Tennessee.

The veteran North Georgia defense attorney recently penned the nonfiction book, “Zenith Man: Death, Love, and Redemption in a Georgia Courtroom,” which was released earlier this year—25 years after his monthslong effort paid off in gaining the acquittal of TV repairman Alvin Ridley after he was accused of the imprisoning and murder of his wife in Ringgold.
