Attorney’s New Book Reveals How to Navigate America’s Criminal Justice System
Atlanta (PRWEB) December 02, 2014 -- What should someone say if a police officer stops to ask a few questions? Why does it take so long for most cases to go to trial? How can someone help a relative who has been accused of a crime? In "Arrested: Battling America's Criminal Justice System," practicing criminal defense attorney Dan Conaway guides readers through fact-based scenarios that answer these questions and many more.
Most Americans possess a sense of the criminal justice system from watching media coverage and cop shows, both of which come from the perspective of the police, the prosecutors and the victims. "Arrested," on the other hand, is written from the perspective of a criminal defense lawyer. "Arrested" gives readers the foresight and the background needed to handle tricky legal situations.
In Conaway’s experience, too many Americans have no idea how dangerous, confusing and frustrating the criminal justice system really is. "Arrested" is written for people who either want to acquire an in-depth understanding of the American criminal justice system, have been arrested, were the target of a criminal investigation or believe they could never be involved in criminal charges. Though "Arrested" is no substitute for professional legal counsel, it perfectly accomplishes its purpose of giving the everyday citizen the basic insight into the confusing world of law and breaking down the American criminal justice system into manageable parts.
"Arrested" is available everywhere books are sold.
