Hack was once paid fifty dollars to serve as a “filler” in a police lineup and was identified as the perpetrator by the key witness, who turned out to be his second wife and “wanted to teach the bastard a lesson.” That lesson included Hack serving two months in prison until she recounted her testimony but it all had a happy ending. Hack based this book on the experience and his ex-wife said the four years she served for perjury was “totally worth it.”
