Key announced the release of his book at a news conference today on the east lawn of the Lincoln County Courthouse.

"A Deadly Game of Tug of War: The Kelsey Smith-Briggs Story” is Key's account as the judge presiding over Kelsey's case before she died Oct. 11, 2005.

Key said his book tells the truth about the case and tries to clear up misconceptions about the case.

Key was a central figure in the high-profile child abuse case and was criticized for returning the child to her mother, Raye Dawn Smith, four months before the 2-year-old died.
