Title: Not Much There!
Review: Nancy Grace's theme in this book is to bewail the tricks and successes of defense lawyers. She cites some cases where this directly led to tragic crimes committed by a defendant getting off for a prior crime.While I sympathize with her point of view, I don't know what can be done about it. On the other side is the problem of people being unjustly sentenced for crimes they did not commit - fortunately new DNA evidence has exonerated a number of them. However, the reality is that tightening the system to release fewer guilty people will more than likely also lead to more innocent people being sentenced to life in prison, or even death. (See Bill Kurtis' "Death Penalty on Trial.
