Justice My Ass!

About the Book

Justice My Ass! is a collection of trial experiences that provide insight into the criminal justice process. The stars on the “good side” are police officers, lawyers, and judges of varying degrees of ability and ethics; on the “dark side” are the evil and merely unfortunate offenders they pursue. Then, there are the colorful characters in between. The “good side” players struggle to do what is just, but often end up simply doing their jobs the best they can. Under severe stress, they find comic relief even in the worst possible situations.

The criminal justice system in America is dysfunctional. That became crystal clear during the chaos of the Baltimore riots that followed the assassination of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. On April 4, 1968, Dr. King was shot down as he stood on the balcony outside his room at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee.

Although not a how-to manual, Justice My Ass! provides proven trial techniques that will help lawyers, young and old, improve their courtroom presence and avoid the dangers of over-zealous tactics.
