Summary
Details

The author reflects upon 35 years of being a criminal attorney both for the prosecution and for the defense in high-level cases. It looks at the practice of law from being a former prosecutor to the running of a successful defense practice. It is focused on the representation on behalf of the prosecution for the state and as a defense counsel representing the accused. He reflects upon the criminal justice system, and the balance of scales on both sides of counsel table in the courtroom. Specifically, it reveals the unfair tipping of scales in favor of the prosecution and against the accused, using real examples. He discusses the significant constitutional rights associated with the process of prosecution and defense. The book is a reflection on the specific cases in his career and the changes that resonated over that 35 year period.
