Captivating audiences across demographic lines, it made Steven Avery a household name and thrust defense attorney Jerome F. Buting—and his fight against America’s dysfunctional criminal justice system—into the spotlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eIllusion of Justice\u003c\/em\u003e, Buting uses the Avery case as a springboard to examine the shaky integrity of our law enforcement and legal systems, which he has witnessed firsthand for nearly four decades. From his early career as a public defender to his success overturning wrongful convictions, his story provides a compelling insider’s view into the high-stakes world of criminal defense, and suggests that while in principle the law presumes innocence, in practice it more often than not presumes guilt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombining narrative reportage with critical commentary and personal reflection, Buting explores his professional motivations, the high-profile cases that defined his career, and the path to much-needed criminal justice reform. Taking its place beside acclaimed bestsellers such as \u003cem\u003eJust Mercy\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eThe New Jim Crow, Illusion of Justice\u003c\/em\u003e is a tour-de-force from a relentless and eloquent advocate for justice who is determined to fulfill his professional responsibility—and, in the face of overwhelming odds, make the judicial system work as it is designed to do.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HarperCollins","offers":[{"title":"Audiobook","offer_id":49345001324848,"sku":"BDc65g","price":28.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio CD","offer_id":49345001357616,"sku":"ZEc65g","price":49.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Audio MP3-CD","offer_id":49345001390384,"sku":"ZMc65g","price":45.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0879\/2784\/9264\/files\/c65g-Square-cover.jpg?v=1778311086","url":"https:\/\/downpour.com\/products\/book-c65g","provider":"Downpour","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
