DECEIT v. DECEIT: True Story of Intimate Betrayal—Every Word Wiretapped. Only Time in History.

By Vernon Baumrind

An unprecedented true story of betrayal, espionage, and the pursuit of justice, where every word was wiretapped, and the consequences were monumental.

In DECEIT v. DECEIT, Vernon Baumrind delves into the harrowing experience of marital infidelity and its devastating impact on families, told through the lens of an extraordinary legal battle. Set in the late 1970s, long before the era of cell phones, this narrative is unique, capturing the raw and unfiltered conversations of the antagonists through a wiretap—a method now nearly impossible in today's technological landscape.

This story is not just about betrayal; it’s about the lengths one man went to protect his family, even at the risk of violating federal wiretapping statutes. The resulting legal battle gained national attention, culminating in a segment on ABC’s 20/20 program in 1985. The recordings and their transcriptions were sealed by a family court judge to protect the children involved, and only now, forty-five years later, is the full story being told.

DECEIT v. DECEIT is more than a tale of personal turmoil; it is a story of resilience, character, and the pursuit of truth in the face of overwhelming adversity. Vernon Baumrind shares his most challenging life experience with the hope that listeners will find valuable lessons and inspiration in his journey. This updated edition addresses listeners' questions from the original publication and offers new insights, making it a must-hear for anyone interested in real-life legal drama, personal growth, and the complexities of human relationships.

Prepare to be captivated by a story where out of bad can come good, and where integrity and justice are put to the ultimate test.
