Zustand: FINE. 2nd printing. The tenth book by this famous San Francisco defense attorney (who was the model for the Sam Benedict television series). A prolific author, this is perhaps his most ambitious work. It consists of 50 essays on law and lawyers, crime and punishment, the vagaries of justice and related issues based on 40 years of experience. In addition to his record as a defense attorney in 55 murder trials through 1955 (with 41 outright acquittals, 12 reduced to manslaughter only), he defended such celebrities as Billie Holiday, Sallie Rand, and San Francisco "beat" publisher, Lawrence Ferlinghetti, who was indicted for selling pornography when he published Allen Ginsberg's "Howl." 287 pp. Fine in fine dust jacket.
