Summary: Sad
Review: In reading some of the reviews on here it really amazes me that anyone can justify another's wrong doing, regardless if you were a friend of this mans , murder is murder and there really is no pretty picture so even if you found Pernell to be a great guy so what... he murdered this women in such a horrible way...No sympathy from me ...You do the crime you suffer the consequences of your actions...I dont care if he was on steroids or not ,you shouldnt be taking steriods in the first place..Poor Jeannie thats who you should feel bad for....Good Book

Summary: Mislead
Review: It took me several years before I read this book. I am sadden to read so much misleading information. Being a college classmate,a friend of Pernell Jefferson along with being present on many of these occassions mentioned by the author. I can tell you that many of the accounts are misleading and grossly exaggerated with a lot of fill in the blank information by the author. This case has some parallels to the OJ Simpson case, however, it is very unclear what really happened and who is truly responsible. What is clear is this race to judgement along with the fact that this young man who had so much potential had very poor representation unlike OJ Simpson. As a result you have an individual who quite possibly will spend the rest of his life in prison for a terrible crime that he is not cleary guilty of other than abuse.The snowball effect of the Simpson case really took all chances away of this young man getting a fair trial/appeal by a jury of his peers. As much as the author falsified information, the book still has many lope holes and leaves a case unclear.

Summary: Where is Ann Rule when you need her?
Review: Maybe I have been spoiled, but I wish Ann Rule had done this book. I didn't feel like I really got inside any of the people and there were so many details and descriptions left out. Loose ends lingered and left me wanting to know more. A true crime story should grab a hold of the reader and put them in the situation with the people involved. I never felt that way with Deadly Goals - more like I was an outsider looking in.
Still, an interesting, quick and very easy read. I read it in a few hours and a fine read for the beach or when traveling.

Summary: 'Pernell's stacking' of unwanted anger and violence
Review: The main character Pernell Jefferson is portrayed brilliantly in this book by Wilt Browning. He shows the the unfortunate death of a young women who just can't escape the clutches of her ex-boyfriend. Wilt got together with all the witnesses who had anything to do with the trial to get both their story and their view of Pernell. Mr. Browning through his book shows the anger and agression that Pernell was building in his head due to the many years of stacking(consuming) anabolic steroids. In addition, he shows the ordeals that Jeanie had to go through and the eventual death that became of her because Pernell could not control himself.
