Books like Search for Justice by Robert L. Shapiro


From June 1994 to October 1995, Robert Shapiro stood at the center of the O.J. Simpson murder trial, assembling a "dream team" of lawyers, investigators and expert witnesses to counter what seemed an overwhelming case. In this book he offers a candid, detailed account of how he developed a defense strategy, dealt with media scrutiny and an internal defense coalition, and explored the legal and constitutional issues that informed the jury’s verdict. Shapiro examines the prosecution’s evidence, including perceived mishandlings of blood samples, and argues that reasonable doubt—rather than political or racial rhetoric—led to the acquittal. His narrative underscores the vital role of defense attorneys in protecting the rights of the accused within the American criminal justice system.
