To Tell the Truth: Based on the Author Forty Years of Clinical and Trial Experiences in Abusive Head Trauma - Shaken Baby Syndrome Cases

By Robert M. Reece

Book Overview

An infant's death with evidence as high as the sky should be a slam-dunk prosecution. But what happens when the savviest defense attorney in town assists his idealistic public defender daughter? Timely in its examination of how belief in science can be manipulated, To Tell the Truth will have you questioning your own deliberations if sitting in the juror's box. A haunting expose of the clash between law and medicine, as written by a pediatrician with over 40 years' clinical and trial experience with shaken baby syndrome. "...compelling story...brings the reader face-to-face with a startling reality: sometimes criminal cases are influenced by more than "the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth." Robert W. Block, MD, FAAP and Past President, The American Academy of Pediatrics "...moving fiction based on non-fiction. Reece's book, besides being entertaining and enlightening, is a tool for all Americans...supports the reality of abusive head trauma." Judge Charles D. Gill, Connecticut Superior Court

Interesting

Readinng for law school class. About an infants death and the legal case that arose from it, so good read for future attorneys and good story altogether. Infants death is told in detail right at the beginning so not for the faint of heart.
