Depicting American justice at its best and worst, The Prosecutors lifts the
lid off today's legal system with details that are more shocking and graphic
than any television show or bestselling novel.
Allowed unprecedented access to spend a year inside an urban prosecutors'
office, Gary Delsohn provides a riveting, behind-the-scenes look at how America's
increasingly overburdened judicial system really functions. Seen through the
eyes of John O'Mara, a tough, jaded homicide chief, and Jan Scully, an accomplished
District Attorney—The Prosecutors shows us these dedicated public servants at
work. The cases they encounter within this one year are indelible:
- A simple robbery gone bad shatters a family forever.
- A well-respected doctor is accused of murdering his own daughter.
- A twenty-five-year-old cold case involving Patty Hearst and the SLA
explodes and brings incredible pressure and scrutiny to the D.A.'s office.
- The son of a high-ranking state prosecutor faces a possible death penalty
for kidnap, rape, and murder.
The Prosecutors chronicles the real-life legal dramas that are waged daily
in our courtrooms. It enlightens, educates, entertains, and even infuriates
at times with the miscarriages of justice, but ultimately shows in stark detail
the intricacies that make our legal system work.
"...the overall lesson is that justice is, in the end, usually done."
