Diary of a D.A.
 |
Contains the most fascinating true crime story I have ever read." --Earl Stanley Gardner Crime¸ criminals¸ and their prosecution and punishment¸ have¸ from the day Cain slew Abel and the Supreme Law Enforcer dealt with the first fratricide¸ provoked the interest¸ aroused the passions¸ and puzzled the minds of men. Because tales of dark deeds are quick to catch attention and stark sensationalism is easily marketable¸ accuracy¸ which is always essential¸ no longer seems required. So much that we read¸ hear¸ and view is blatantly false and misleading¸ not only as fiction but as alleged truth¸ that almost universally there is an unwholesome¸ blurred¸ and distorted conception of the whole subject of law enforcement. That picture will perhaps never be clarified¸ unless the public becomes more knowingly critical¸ and irresponsible merchants of what is banal and lurid grow more scrupulously dependable. Note: This digital edition includes the PDF¸ EPUB and MOBI (Kindle) versions of the book.
