Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Gerry Spence, the Dean of the Criminal Defense Bar, gives a fascinating account of an innocent woman's hellish, almost neverending, journey through the criminal justice system. He exposes the frightening, unethical, efforts of the prosecutors to convict Sandy Jones. For those who've been charged with a serious crime, that assistant district attorneys intimidate witnesses, berate crime lab technicians who come to the "wrong" conclusions, slander defense counsel in the newspapers, and "cook" the evidence, this poor woman's story will come as no surprise. For most readers, this sometimes exhausting, but riveting book will expose a truth -- that prosecutors, the flawed human beings compromised by the very power bestowed upon them, are hardly the white knights of the criminal justice system. By the end of the book, it's clear that without an energetic, caring, skilled and unintimidated attorney, Sandy Jones would have spent the rest of her life in a concrete coffin.
