This criminal action was originally brought by the State of Nita against Arthur Jackson and Sonia Peterson. It is claimed that the two arranged with George Avery to destroy the Flinders Aluminum Fabrication Corporation plant by burning the plant. Avery died in the fire. The two defendants were charged with commercial arson. The case went to trial and resulted in a mistrial due to a hung jury. Sonia Peterson pled guilty to conspiracy to commit a felony and agreed to testify against Arthur Jackson. There are four witnesses for both the State and the defense. A companion civil case file, Flinders v. Mismo, involves Jackson suing to recover from the company that insured the plant.

The central focus of the book is on the different approaches that courts can use to lessen the impact of implicit bias by "breaking the bias habit."
