Attorney William R. Burkett recounts the investigation and trial of former Oklahoma governor David Hall. The trial marked the first time an Oklahoma governor was convicted of criminal acts committed while in office. Burkett was the U.S. Attorney who prosecuted the popular governor. He found himself in the center of a political maelstrom. He was accused of conspiracy, disbarred by a federal judge, denounced in the Legislature, and threatened with a Congressional investigation.
