In 2009, Harvey A. Silverglate, a prominent criminal defense and civil liberties lawyer, published his landmark critique of the federal criminal justice system, 'Three Felonies a Day: How the Feds Target the Innocent'. In 2014, Sidney Powell, a former federal prosecutor in three districts under nine United States Attorneys from both political parties and who has been lead counsel in 500 federal appeals, published her landmark indictment of the system, 'Licensed To Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice', after she witnessed appalling abuses by prosecutors - more than a decade after she entered private practice. Now these two leading authorities have combined their knowledge and experience to describe the problem within the Department of Justice and in the federal criminal courts - and to offer solutions. Together, in 'CONVICTION MACHINE', Powell and Silverglate shine in a light on the defects of the system: overzealous prosecutors, perjury traps, negligent judges, perverse limits on self-defense, vague and overabundant criminal statutes, insufficient requirements for criminal intent, and no accountability for prosecutors. Most importantly, they provide a much-needed blueprint for reforming the Department of Justice and the criminal-justice system, including actions an average citizen can take to help restore justice.RUNNING TIME => 4hrs. and 52mins.?2020 Harvey A.
