Defending A Serial Killer The Right To Counsel

The Fifth and Sixth Amendments guarantee the right to counsel, even for the most heinous criminals. In 1982, Jim Potts, a brilliant law student, is recruited to assist in the death penalty appeal of Michael Dee Mattson, a convicted serial killer. Potts discovers a loophole that could set Mattson free, forcing him to confront a moral dilemma: protect his family and community, or uphold his duty to the Constitution?

For readers of true crime, legal thrillers, and stories of ethical conflict, Defending a Serial Killer explores:

• The complexities of the American judicial system
• The psychological toll on those who defend the guilty
• The impact of crime on victims and their families
