Fascinating perspective

Like most people I know, I never wanted to see or hear another word about OJ Simpson. I was however interested in some of the other cases discussed. This book puts all the cases into cultural perspective. It is hard to realize how much we are influenced by the attitudes and social norms of our times. Only with hind sight is everything clearer. My son is 13 and hopes for a career in law and politics. I have encouraged him to read this also. This should be required reading for everyone involved in the media or law.
