" An exciting story of the life of a man, from his early years as a hungry orphan, to his rewarding achievements as a successful trial lawyer. He entertains with gusto as we experience some of his exciting cases as well as his madcap personal experiences. The true murder case is so unbelievable and spellbinding; it transcends reality as it unravels and becomes comical and then the irony in its conclusion. His selection of the title The Jurys Back gives real insight into the fervor associated with the conclusion of a trial. Throughout, we feel the authors desire to inspire young people to succeed. It also provides a good test to determine if you could be a good trial lawyer."

We, the Jury is the dramatic story of seven jurors, who convicted Scott Peterson of murdering his wife, Laci, and their unborn son, Conner, despite a series of internal battles that brought the first major murder trial of the 21st century to the brink of a mistrial. The Peterson jurors argued and disagreed but eventually bonded to seal the fate of the icy killer who dumped his victims into the bullet-gray waters of San Francisco Bay. The seven jurors of We, the Jury were seven average Americans who never imagined the horrors they would face or the phantoms that would haunt them after they convicted the enigmatic murderer and recommended that he be put to death. This is the story of how the American jury system worked after being battered by critics for the way it functioned in the trials of O.J. Simpson and Michael Jackson. Unlike the jurors in those trials, who second-guessed themselves, the Peterson jurors do not question their decisions. It wasn’t one thing that condemned Scott Peterson, it was everything.
