Overview
"Here, from the legendary trial attorney and author of My Life In Court and The Jury Returns, is his gripping account of his most dramatic case: an eighteen-year ordeal endured by a Holocaust survivor falsely accused of multiple murder." "On a September evening in 1974, 71-year-old Irving Pasternak and his wife were stabbed to death in their Waterbury Connecticut home. Their former son-in-law, Murray Gold, was soon indicted, although he had no discernable motive and only the most tenuous circumstantial evidence linked him to the crime." "During the subsequent trial the defense showed that another man, Bruce Sanford, was the most likely suspect. Sanford, an avowed satanist with a long criminal record, was seen, covered with blood, on the night of the murders and was reputed to have confessed his guilt to friends. But the jury was deadlocked. In a second trial, after Sanford had killed himself, testimony relating to him was dismissed as "hearsay" and Murray Gold was convicted." "At which point Mr. Nizer entered the case. In a series of brilliant maneuverings, he and a unique team of attorneys (including the successful prosecutor from Gold's previous trial), after two more trials, succeeded in setting aside the guilty verdict." "With his remarkable pen and legal acumen, Mr. Nizer illuminates this account of a hideous crime and spellbinding courtroom drama, offering as well fascinating insights into the inner workings of law-enforcement, trials, precedents and the unprecedented. His narrative is unique in the annals of American jurisprudence."--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc. All Rights Reserved
