Bennett is a widely respected law professor and writer for Huffington Post and elsewhere who points out the mission of a prosecutor is to seek the truth, not convict. If the truth is revealed, the prosecutor has won. This audiobook provides great support for Bennett's point of view of duty to the truth by countless distinguished Supreme Court judges. Every voter should listen to this so criminal defendants get a fair hearing with the truth being everyone's duty, from judge and jury to the prosecutor and defendant lawyer. Refreshing. Should be a great listen for every juror and lawyer.
