Howard G. Franklin

4.9/5 (21595 ratings)

Description:Set amidst the tumultuous 1960s, Gideon’s Children tells the story of the idealistic young men and women who staffed the newly formed and expanded Public Defender Offices after the Supreme Court’s momentous 1963 decision, which mandated the right to counsel when charged with a crime. Facing virulent bias, they summoned a warrior spirit, and like Rocky in the courtroom, bravely led a revolution within the Criminal Justice System as part of the greater Civil Rights Movement.The spotlight focuses on five young Public Defenders fiercely battling prosecutors, cops, and judges within the raw environment of murder, rape, robbery, and drugs. As the intense drama unfolds, the novel provides a brutally realistic look into the bizarre world of criminal law--a world that lives and breathes amidst the more civilized elements of greater society.Increasingly relevant today in view of the 1984-like issues arising under the Patriot Act and highly invasive governmental spying, Gideon’s Children reminds us that the more things change, the more they stay the same. But it also serves as a powerful reminder that our constitutional rights constitute the very foundation of freedom and should be cherished, nourished, and protected at all costs.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
