This book was given to me by another prisoner after he finished reading it. I read it during a power outage last week. I really liked Grisham's take on the American criminal justice system. Here's an example:
"A trial (in the US) is a contest in which one side will win and the other side will lose. Each side expects the other to bend the rules or to cheat, so neither side plays fair. The truth (and any chance of real justice) is lost in the melee."
This has been my experience exactly and consistently, as I have tried to express at times elsewhere in this blog.
