Rating: 4.47/5 from 19 reviews would make a great movieI could not lay this book down until I had read it from cover to cover. The obsession to persecute, with all the power of the government at their fingertips is shown in detail. "Good" men in positions of power making "bad" choices ? Or is there something else involved? Gerry Spence is a masterful story teller who makes you wonder just why the powers that be would put so much time and energy into trying to dispose of one small family. Has the persecution of the "Jones Tribe" stopped or does it continue to this day ? It is not just a little scarey to think that something like this could happen to anyone. This book is a must read for anyone interested in justice in America! A First Rate and Admirable WorkThis narrative, about two extraordinary trials in the State of Oregon during the mid 1980's, is superb. Gerry Spence's account keeps you glued to the book throughout, and he is masterful at presenting behind the scenes activities and trial experiences. He was part of an exceptional defense team representing defendants who were accused of murder, the circumstances of which are described in heart wrenching detail. The book portrays the teamwork, investment of time and the wisdom required to provide a worthy defense against overwhelming odds. Mr. Spence writes with sensitivity and compassion in describing the perserverence of many individuals determined to have justice and truth prevail. Courage and resourcefulness are central themes of this inspirational story. Outstanding, but lawyers should also see Common Sense RulesSome good lessons in Spence's book, but learn how YOU can be a more effective courtroom advocate with "Common Sense Rules of Advocacy for Lawyers" by Keith Evans, which is also a wonderful book for 3Ls and new lawyers who want to learn how to be effective advocates. However, Common Sense Rules of Advocacy is NOT a book for litigators, but for advocates. What others have said about Evans book: "Valuable review for the old timers and an excellent primer for those who are starting the climb." "Superb how-to book ...that is refreshingly readable." "A wonderful 'Bible' for the trial lawyer who wants to win. If only we had had this in law school!" "Even the most experienced trial lawyer can pick up some new techniques here." "Valuable insights and practical lessons for anyone who advocates for a living." "Remarkable compendium of useful advice." "Great introduction for the new lawyer and a wonderful learning tool for the advocate with experience." "Terrific guidebook."
