The Casey Anthony trial of 2011 is estimated to have drawn the television and reading attention of no less than a quarter of a billion people from around the world. In Justice in America, Anthony defense attorney J. Cheney Mason, who was brought in to save the case, asserts that the jury got it right, and that America, the media, and the public blinded by the nightly lights, got it all wrong. His is the final chapter on the Anthony trial which ignited, mesmerized, and inflamed the public in a way not seen since the O.J. Simpson trial. It became the trial of this century and a piece of legal work destined to be studied for decades to come. Attorney Mason answers the remaining questions left by previous authors with a play-by-play account of what was happening behind the scenes with Casey. He shares never before revealed media bias, and enough case secrets to make readers re-examine their conscience and the quick path to judgment and personal conviction of Anthony. A must-read for anyone who followed the trial; for anyone interested in justice and absolutely required reading for anyone pursuing law or criminal justice as a life passion.

From the Author:

J. Cheney Mason, an attorney for 43 years, holds a compelling affinity for defending the underdogs and the falsely accused. The invitation to help represent Casey Anthony was irresistible. Though she is one of the over fifty homicide cases Mason has defended in his career, he names her story as the most compelling. He attended the University of Florida and graduated from law school in 1970. Mason was elected to and served as President of the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and is an elected Fellow of the American Board of Criminal Lawyers. He has also served two terms on the Board of Directors for the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. Mason and his wife, Shirley, have been married for 41 years.
