In The Pursuit Of Justice: A Prosecutor'S Memoir

After Columbia College, Columbia Law and a couple of years on Wall Street, I had a fascinating career as a state and federal prosecutor in New York and Florida. I've now written an easy to read, fast-paced factual book in which I revisits some of America's most fascinating cases from my insider's perspective. My book, "In The Pursuit Of Justice, A Prosecutor's Memior," also details facts not found in the public records and discloses quirks of fate that often served as the basis for some of the most fascinating cases. For example, a passenger already seated on board a plane at London's Heathrow Airport about to depart for Paris, decides to momentarily disembark to get a newspaper. As a direct result of this seemingly inconsequential act, the former Head of the Florida Marine Patrol, three prominent Miami/Fort Lauderdale attorneys, an Indianapolis 500 Rookie of the Year, and thirteen drug dealers all land in South Florida jails. The passenger himself ended up on Florida's death row. Oh, there is also humor in the book. Such as where, after the jury returned fifteen guilty verdicts against a banker, his pretty young Colombian wife, armed with a sizable, posh shoulder bag, began pummeling my back with little mercy. While, at about the same time, the banker's mother, a refined and diminutive lady, began jumping up and down with fists clenched, her shoes pounding the floor like a jackhammer, repeatedly screaming at me: "It's wrong, it's wrong, God will punish you. God will punish you!" No one warned me about such unnerving, emotional outbursts; much less the physical abuses I would suffer in protecting and serving the public good. (But God would have me take a Colombian wife).
