A searing memoir on justice and race in the US federal legal system. The author is a native of Washington DC, from a prominent family African American involved in local government and education. He is a trained clinical therapist who became a real estate broker and developer in the early 1990s. In 2006 he purchased a project in a suburb in Clifton, VA for 4.5 million dollars, and the lawyer for the seller began a campaign to have him investigated and prosecuted by his friends in Federal law enforcement as a means of punishing him for owning a home in his subdivision. He was convicted in 2011 of wire fraud, but used his formal education to learn federal law and appeal his case himself, and on November 5th 2015 the Fourth Circuit vacated and remanded the case back to my district court. This memoir was written to bring to the public's attention the grave issues of racial bias and injustice currently plaguing our nation's federal legal system. The story is an incredible one that will add to the public's knowledge about the very grave issues which need to be addressed in our federal legal system. Most Americans have no idea what federal judges, prosecutors, and agents are getting away with against criminal defendants. This book is a must read for all legal professionals and others interested in and involved in criminal justice reform.
