1977: People V Arthur Lee Burgess -- 2016: People V Davontae Sandford.
"What Justice Looks Like tells the story of two high stakes criminal cases - the 1977 prosecution of a vicious hit man and the 2016 exoneration of an innocent defendant who pled guilty to a quadruple homicide as a teenager. It is a first-person account by the lawyer who handled both cases, separated by nearly 40 years. In the first, Samuel Damren was the prosecutor. In the second, he was lead counsel for the defense. Considered together, these cases, at opposite ends of the spectrum, illustrate what may be criminal justice's greatest challenge: trusting the system to bring 'the worst of the worst' to justice while protecting the innocent when the system's safeguards fail." -- back cover.
