Life sentence : how my father defended two murderers and lost himself : a memoir / Amy Bell. by Bell, Amy (Crime historian). Nimbus Publishing, 2023. Call #: 364.1523 B433L Subjects Bell, Ed (Criminal defense lawyer)   Police murders -- New Brunswick -- Moncton -- Case studies.   Murder victims -- New Brunswick -- Moncton -- Case studies.   Trials (Murder) -- New Brunswick -- Moncton -- Case studies.   Criminal defense lawyers -- New Brunswick -- Moncton -- Biography. ISBN:  9781774711866 (pbk.) Description:  x, 190 p. : ill. ; 23 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 181-190). Summary:  On December 15, 1974, when Amy Bell was one year old, the city of Moncton, New Brunswick, was consumed with the search for two missing police officers -- Corporal Aurèle Bourgeois and Constable Michael O'Leary. They had been abducted by petty criminals Richard Ambrose and James Hutchison after a kidnapping that had scored them 15,000 dollars. The search would lead to a clearing in the woods where the officers were found -- murdered, and buried in shallow graves. Amy's father, Ed Bell, stepped up to defend the killers. His unpopular stance -- 'every person accused of a crime deserves a defence'--eventually led to the ruin of his career and his marriage, and Amy and her brother lived with the aftereffects: poverty and isolation. Ed Bell never spoke of his involvement in this case. It wasn't until forty-two years later, when he lay dying, that Amy, now a crime historian, stumbled upon a Polaroid photograph of one of the killers among her father's things. That discovery led her on a search for answers. This book is a work that fuses personal and criminal justice history to tell the story of a horrific crime and examine its terrible costs.
