Synopsis
Judge Katz, a veteran of 25 years as a prosecutor, defense attorney, judge, and teacher, exposes the abuse and misuse of justice in this country and what can be done to fix it. He reveals why winning is everything and the truth means nothing in court; why lawyers are allowed to select the most bigoted and uneducated jurors; how racial politics control the criminal justice agenda; why judges who cannot follow basic rules of conduct stay on the bench; and more.

Review
Burton S. Katz, a former prosecutor and trial judge, blames the Supreme Court for creating an atmosphere in which the hands of police are tied while known criminals are set free--not because of a dearth of evidence, but due to technicalities and a procedural maze. Katz argues that by creating legal loopholes for defense attorneys, law enforcement officers are more likely to bend the truth concerning how evidence was gathered and whether a defendant was read their rights correctly, a widespread phenomenon known as "testi-lying." This, he says, is not due to dishonesty, but to an understanding of the procedure that must be followed in order to ensure that justice prevails. Along with his critique he offers recommendations for fixing what he views as a broken system, namely by relaxing the current rules regarding gathering of evidence and obtaining confessions--indeed a case of backing up to move forward, for this was precisely the system employed before the Supreme Court effected the changes that Katz rails against. In light of recent high-profile cases involving Rodney King, O.J. Simpson, and the Menendez brothers, Justice Overruled is a timely and pragmatic approach to criminal justice reform from a 25-year insider.
About the Author
Katz was a judge for 14 years on the L.A. municipal courts.
