Reviews
Grade 7 Up. Rice is sarcastic and biased to the extreme regarding his disillusionment about Simpson's acquittal. One must question why someone with such strong views and so little legal background feels competent to explain a trial and verdict and justify that verdict on the basis of the law to young people. The narrative drips with tabloid-type descriptions. The most sensational of Judge Ito's college and early law-day pranks are discussed and overshadow his credentials and record on the bench. Johnnie Cochran takes hits as well. Although the book contains many quotes, they are often taken out of context and have been chosen to portray the defendant and his lawyers in a negative light. Many of the sidebars that are purported to illuminate points of law don't serve their purpose. Only Alan Dershowitz's comments seem reasonable and based on legalities. Even the appended bibliographies include titles by lay people who have publicly taken one side or the other in this case, most often that of the prosecution. If you want an unbiased book with some legal insight, opt for a different title.?Marilyn Fairbanks, East Junior High School, Brockton, MA
