An accidental life / Pamela Binnings Ewen. by Ewen, Pamela Binnings,1944-(CARDINAL)655528;
"In a 1982 New Orleans courtroom the best-kept secret in the world is about to unravel, and a young couple's jet set lives will change. Senior district attorney Peter Jacobs is facing the trial of a lifetime--a passionate, spiritual battle against an evil with far reaching consequences. His beloved wife Rebecca, a glamorous and driven partner at a major law firm, suddenly finds her life spun out of control and her new faith tested while facing a once in a lifetime choice. From lawyer-turned-novelist Pamela Binnings Ewen, An Accidental Life is fiction based on fact: the testimony of nurse Jill Stanek before a U.S. Congressional Committee confirming that it was routine in the hospital in which she worked for doctors to have nurses take infants born alive during abortions to a 'soiled utility room' and leave them to die. Stanek's testimony led Congress to enact the Born Alive Infant Protection Act of 2001, a federal-only law that still does not bind state run hospitals or private clinics. The fact remains that the fate of abortion survivors is among the best-kept secrets in the world." -- p. [4] of cover

Wrecking crew : demolishing the case against Steven Avery / by Ferak, John,1973-author.(CARDINAL)802372;
In 2016-2017, while working for the USA Today network's Wisconsin investigative team, author John Ferak wrote dozens of articles examining the murder case again Steven Avery, who had already beat one wrongful conviction only to be charged with the murder of Teresa Halbach in 2005. The case became the wildly successful Netflix ٢Making A Murderer٣ documentary. In this book, Ferak lays out in exacting detail the post-conviction strategy of Kathleen Zellner, the high-profile, high-octane lawyer, to free Avery. To write this book, Zellner, perhaps America's most successful wrongful conviction attorney, gave Ferak unique access to the exhaustive pro bono efforts she and her small suburban Chicago law firm dedicated for a man she believes to be a victim of an unscrupulous justice system in Manitowoc County.

The red balcony: a novel / by Wilson, Jonathan,1950-author.(CARDINAL)741411;
"A gripping historical novel of sex, love, and justice in the tinderbox of British Mandate Palestine, by the acclaimed author of A Palestine Affair. In 1933, Ivor Castle, an Oxford-educated Jew, arrives in Palestine to take up a position as assistant to the defense counsel for the two men accused of murdering Haim Arlosoroff, a figure whose tactics to get Jews out of Hitler's Germany and into Palestine were controversial enough to get him killed. Ivor, an innocent to the politics of the case, falls into bed and deeply in love with Tsiona, a free-spirited painter who sketched the accused men in a Jerusalem cafe on the night of the murder and may be a key witness. As Ivor learns the hard way about the violence simmering just under the lid of British colonial rule, Wilson dazzles with his mastery of the sun-baked scenery and the subtleties of the warring agendas in Palestine. Ivor moves between the crime scene in Jaffa and the maze of Jerusalem, between the mounting mysteries around this notorious legal case and clandestine lovemaking in Tsiona's tiny studio in Safed. In the end, he must discover where his heart lies-whether he cares more for the law or the truth, whether he is an Englishman or a Jew, with whom and where he belongs"--
