He fought death in the courtroom—until betrayal put him on trial.
One lawyer rose faster than any other of his generation. Charismatic, brilliant, and fearless, he defended notorious killers and used all of his talents to keep his clients off death row. His fame stretched beyond the courtroom—Playboy even called him “the hottest attorney in America.” His success made him a joyful crusader against the death penalty.
But enemies lay in wait for any misstep. A vindictive prosecutor and a judge with a grudge. When scandal struck, his downfall was fast and hard. Was it hubris—or a setup? Could this Icarus rise again from the ashes?

Through the eyes of a young and idealistic law student, inspired by the author’s own experience, Justice Betrayed pulls readers into the drama of the trials of terrifying, crazy, and ridiculous criminal-defendants. Ethically questionable tactics, like the use of whorish "expert" witnesses, are revealed, as is the moral failures and triumphs of “the best legal system money can buy.”

I listened to the book straight through! The combination of character development and learning more about the legal system and the underbelly of the political system in Marion county kept me entertained and engaged. The AI voice, besides mispronouncing a few words was very effective and pleasant!
Good job Mr Rasley
