The D.A.: A True Story

A "year in the life" chronicle of Los Angeles District Attorney Larry Longo follows the D.A. through the justice system and into a headline murder case. Taylor (a former Los Angeles District Attorney) documents the deals, pressures, and frustrations of handling cases that are as notorious as the OJ Simpson trial, but never make it to CNN. The volume supplies a real charge for readers who are strung out since the Simpson trial conclusion, or for those interested in seeing a "slice of life" from an attorney's point of view. Lacks an index or bibliography. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
