What is The Smoking Gun: Day by Day Through a Shocking Murder Trial with Gerry Spence (Lisa Drew Books) about?

Recounts the dramatic events surrounding the trial of Sandy Jones and her teenage son, who were accused of murdering a real-estate developer, describing the trial's three-year process of explosive courtroom scenes, class conflicts, and crushing state power. 75,000 first printing.From BooklistGerry Spence, the loud, large, imposing Wyoming lawyer who became a household name during the O. J. trial, lends credibility to the Sixth Amendment "right to counsel" by taking on unpopular clients and going up against the mighty machine of the state. Here, Spence recounts in chilling detail the case against a poor mother and her son, both accused of murder in Oregon. Once the state has its suspect, Spence argues, watch out, for all the stops are pulled out so as to prove that the police, the D.A.'s office, and even the judges did not make a mistake. Feeling for this family, Spence agrees to join the defense team pro bono, helping two talented court-appointed attorneys. We have the privilege of getting inside Spence's head, from the heartfelt compassion for his client to the analysis of the evidence to his clear disdain for many aspects of our legal system, especially how the accused is treated
