Description: "Practicing criminal defense attorney Dan Conaway has written Arrested to help us all understand our rights and responsibilities as upstanding citizens of the country we live in.  'The Beast'—as he refers to our criminal justice system—has very little in common with the way it is depicted on TV crime dramas. Clearing away the fiction, Conaway addresses the following real-world topics: • What should you say if a police officer stops you to ask “just a few quick questions”? • Why does it take so long for most cases to go to trial? • How can you help a family member who has been accused of a crime?  Although not intended as a substitute for professional legal counsel, Arrested can be used as a guide as you work your way through the maze of one of the most complicated systems on the planet"--
