"Gerry Spence is one of the greatest trial lawyers of our time. He has not lost a jury trial in nearly fifty years and has never lost a criminal or a capital case. A New York Times bestselling author, he has represented many celebrated defendants and appeared on countless national TV talk shows. Spence now presents us with beautiful Lillian Adams, who is goine on trial for the murder of her weathly husband before Judge John Murray. The prosecutor, Haskins Sewell, however, is consumed by political ambition. He plans to advance his own career by framing Lillian for first-degree murder and by railroading the judge into prison. A fast-paced, up-all-night courtroom thriller, Court of Lies is also a powerful indictment of today's legal system. The United States has 2.3 million people behind bars and 4.5 million more on parole or probation. A major reason for so much mass incarceration is the dominance of politically motivated prosecutors, who oversentence defendants for the sake of winning votes in their own elections and advancing their careers." -- From cover.
