    About this ebook

    Spotlighting sensational murder cases as well as his representation of the Olympic and Birmingham bomber, Eric Rudolph, here is the story of Richard Jaffe, the most successful attorney ever at exonerating innocent people accused of murder and wrongfully sentenced death row inmates.

    Join Jaffe, a commentator during the O.J. Simpson trials and frequent guest on NPR, CNN and NBC. Follow him as he learns the truth about savage capital crimes, then through tense courtroom trials as he advocates for those who are literally fighting for their lives.

    It’s a taut, suspenseful journey through crime and the legal process: murder scenes, courtrooms, judges’ chambers and prison visiting rooms. Hear how the death penalty is decided and administered. Peer into Jaffe’s soul and look into the souls, hearts and eyes of the men and women he has defended and those who opposed him in these battles to the death:


    • The serial bomber who evaded capture for over five years

    • The young attorney falsely accused of conspiracy to murder a police detective

    • The bribe-taking judge who pulled a gun on Jaffe in the courtroom


    Quest for Justice offers a no-holds-barred, behind-the-scenes look at America’s criminal justice system.

      I totally enjoyed this read. If this book had been fiction I would have thought the scenarios with the lawyers and judges too far-fetched to really happen. That's what makes the book so interesting. This book is a very eye-opening look into the legal system and the sentence of death. There are just too many variables that exist in the trial system that can allow innocent people to be condemed and killers to go free. In a rush to judgement once the alleged killer is convicted the real killers get away with murder. And it is really sad that even after Mr. Jaffe had the convictions overturned the prosecuters chose not to pursue the real killers. The underworld of crime is not black and white. Highly recommend this book. It will change the way you look at highly public trials and your own rush to judgement of guilty. I was given this book to read from Smith Publicity.
