She wrote a book under a fake name. And this was part of a series. And one of the books was called Troubled Blood, and it was partly based off of Brutus. So it was a man who would dress up as a woman to lure in his victims, a serial killer.
The whole book, some people say I've never read it, so I can't say for sure. But I'm just saying there was a controversy that happened. A lot of people say it has a very anti trans vibe to it.
But it seems like with her history of transphobic comments and then overall the tone of the book, the people who have read it, some people who have read it said that it feels very like she's just using it to make people like scared.
It's almost kind of like a fear mongering, they said. Yeah. Of a man in a dress which shouldn't be fearful at all. Yeah.
So Jerry Brutus is still causing a stir to this day is what I was trying to say.

In M. William Phelps' book about this case, it said that during the first trial, Katie would look over, stare at the men in the jury and part her legs a little under the table because she was always like wearing kind of a short skirt and never any pantyhose.
