Summary:  "October 3, 1995. The shocking outcome of the O.J. Simpson trial leaves a nation divided. July 5, 2011. Casey Anthony walks free despite being convicted by millions on cable news and social media. There are times when something as supposedly simple as a just verdict rises to the level of cultural touchstone. Often these moments hinge on logic that seems flawed and inexplicable-until now. Trial consultant Richard Gabriel explains how some of the most controversial verdicts in recent times came to be. Gabriel provides firsthand accounts of his work on high-profile cases: Casey Anthony, O.J. Simpson, Phil Spector, and Heidi Fleiss and the political firestorms involving Enron and Whitewater. Insights on defendants, prosecutors, judges, witnesses, journalists, and the most important people in the room: the jury. Gabriel reveals the differences between a court of law and the court of public opinion, the convoluted mechanics behind jury selection, strategies for creating a careful balance of evidence and doubt, and the difficulties of providing a fair trial in the digital age. Gabriel raises hard questions about the legal system and the possibility of justice in an oversaturated media landscape. The riveting, frustrating, fascinating world -- the most unpredictable drama in American life"--Provided by publisher.
