description: "Criminal law is considered by many to be the most exciting of the legal specialities, and here the authors turn to the type of dramatic crimes and trials that have so captivated the public - becoming fodder for countless television shows and legal thrillers. But the eight cases in this collection have also set historical precedents and illuminated the underlying principles of the American criminal justice system." Each of the eight cases presented here is given legal and cultural context, including a brief historical introduction, a biographical sketch of the attorneys involved, highlights of trial testimony, analysis of the closing arguments, and a summary of the trial's impact on its participants and our country.
