The Smoking Gun : Day by Day Through a Shocking Murder Trial with Gerry Spence
reviewed on + 404 more book reviews


A stunning, intricate courtroom battle lasting years. Really picks up the pace about a third of the way through.

"Here, Spence recounts in chilling detail the case against a poor mother and her son, both accused of murder in Oregon...Spence agrees to join the defense team pro bono...
We have the privilege of getting inside Spence's head, from the heartfelt compassion for his client to the analysis of the evidence to his clear disdain for many aspects of our legal system, especially how the accused is treated as guilty until proven innocent. A true maverick, Spence is someone you'd want on your side." amazon review
