OPENING SENTENCE
"When attorneys spin, it's about trying to win."
-- Opening sentence in Spinning the Law: Trying Cases in the Court of Public Opinion by Kendall Coffey.
Thanks go to the Internet Review of Books for getting me a review copy of this one. I'm going to write my review this weekend.
TEASER
"There were missing parts, though, from all these scripts. Martha Stewart would never say she was sorry for lying."
From the chapter, obviously, on Martha Stewart's criminal trial.
Teaser Tuesdays is hosted by Should Be Reading, where you can find the official rules for this weekly event.
Oooh, sounds fascinating, especially in light of the Anthony trial. Thanks for the review!
ReplyDeleteI may have to look into this, I love books about high profile cases like Martha Stuarts--as a kid I wanted to be a lawyer, and I don't think that dream is completely gone!
