<DIV><b>Acclaimed author and respected attorney Seymour Wishman takes readers behind closed jury-room doors for an eye-opening exploration of American justice</b></div><DIV><BR>In autumn 1982, in the affluent New Jersey community of Glen Ridge, a woman is found brutally murdered in her home. The victim&rsquo;s distraught husband points police to a likely perpetrator: an African American handyman with a criminal record. A search of the suspect&rsquo;s home reveals nothing, but still the man is indicted for the crime. His ultimate fate is to be determined by &ldquo;a jury of his peers&rdquo;&mdash;twelve strangers with no special legal skills or training and a fervent desire to do what is right.</div><DIV>&#160;</div><DIV>Based on an actual criminal investigation and trial, Seymour Wishman&rsquo;s <i>Anatomy of a Jury </i>carries us from the crime scene to the courthouse to the jury room, providing a fascinating, in-depth look into the nation&rsquo;s criminal justice system. Riveting, detailed, and intensely dramatic, Wishman&rsquo;s remarkable book offers provocative insights into how we administer justice, how we judge others, and how others may judge us. </div>
