Synopsis

In an instant ex-Sheriff Captain and respected businessman Hilton Crawford became the most hated man in Montgomery County, Texas. Was he a cold-blooded killer, or was he duped? Were there other parties involved who were never apprehended? Was justice really served in his execution? Seed of Villainy reveals the true details of his life and his crime as told in Death Row interviews prior to his death by lethal injection. It is the moving journey of one man through his desperate act and subsequent trial and execution.
