Summary: SPENCE SPECTACULAR
Comment: I am not sure whether the story is fact based or not. The truth is, though, the book, The Smoking Gun by Gerry Spence, is a fascinating account of how one of the nation's greatest attorneys approaches a heinous crime. Spence, famous for his devotion to the right of everyone to counsel, does what he does best, taking on the big guns of state government in an effort to see that justice is served despite the state's efforts to ensure that its personnel come out smelling like roses--even at the expense of possibly railroading innocent people.
The book offers another chance to go inside the Spence legal intellect. Spence is an excellent writer and narrator and Smoking Gun is a compelling read regardless of whether you agree with Spence or not.

Summary: An Inexhaustable Defense of the Innocent
Comment: 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.
