FBB Chapter 8 - Kasey Gould

                In chapter 8 of Full Body Burden a few things Iverson wrote really caught my attention. Iverson writes, “Mike Norton testified for the defense, but, surprisingly even he concurred that serious environmental crimes occurred at Rocky Flats” (315). I thought this was a very bold decision considering he was testifying for the defense. When Iverson writes, “It turns out Peter had a heart problem, a birth defect. His heart is four times the size it should be” (329), I connect this to him being such a loving father and husband and being such a loyal man. He spent 20 years fighting for the defense and the truth. I find it inspirational that he would do this especially when he tells his children that no one, not even the government, is above questioning. I try to live by this motto too, nobody is above anyone. We should be on a level playing field.
