From the Inside Flap
CBS-TV legal analyst and criminal defense lawyer Mickey Sherman presents his controversial winning arguments and courtroom experiences together with his unique views and comments about our criminal justice system. In the tradition of best sellers by Alan Dershowitz and Dominick Dunne, Sherman delivers a powerful, extraordinarily candid, and humorous account of his legal career that gives readers an ALL ACCESS BACKSTAGE PASS to the sausage factory that is the criminal justice system, as well as many cases we have all lived with on TV about which Sherman has provided commentary and insight on the various news channels. Sherman started his career as a public defender, then worked as a prosecutor, and later became a criminal defense lawyer for clients such as Michael Skakel (convicted 27 years after the fact for the murder of Martha Moxley) and Alex Kelly (who, on the eve of his double-rape trial in Darien, fled to Europe for nine years). Sherman’s criminal defence strategies are frequently groundbreaking and sometimes more fascinating than the clients themselves. How Can You Defend Those People? is an entertaining account of how a successful criminal lawyer deals with impossible cases and clients and boldly challenges accepted laws and conventional tactics, as well as a voyeuristic glimpse into the real lives and travails of clients who represent a fascinating cross section of life.
