How Can You Defend Those People Author:Mickey Sherman Sherman is the high-profile, colorful, and iconoclastic criminal defense attorney who grew up underprivileged on the mean streets of Greenwich, Connecticut (OK, he readily admits there are NO mean streets in Greenwich, but compared to his friends, he was “poor”) and went on to fame and success in the courtroom first as a public defen... more »der, then as a prosecutor, and later as a defense lawyer. The same qualities that have made Sherman so wildly successful before the bar and as a ubiquitous television commentator are on display in this account of why he wouldn’t trade his job for any other in the world and why it is that defense attorneys do what they do – defend the thoroughly guilty, the somewhat-guilty, and the innocent with the same passion and vigor. How Can You Defend Those People? is part memoir and part voyeuristic journey through the American criminal justice system; along the way the reader meets many of Mickey’s celebrity clients and is treated to inside accounts of their cases. Sherman’s winning style, self-deprecating humor, and his easy manner make it an eminently readable and enjoyable book.« less
