✦ Synopsis

A behind-the-scenes look at how our criminal justice system really works. As a mentor taught Kunen before he became a public defender, “Guilt or innocence is completely irrelevant. What matters is what the D.A. can prove.”

“A memoir of rare insight and humor.” – Garry Trudeau [JN: note two r’s in Garry]
“This chronicle. . . could not be beat as a portrait of criminal court life.” – The New Yorker
