True Murder, with your host, journalist and author, Dan Zufantke.

Good evening.

International-known legal ethics professor Richard Zitren's work as a trial lawyer placed

him on the front lines of fighting systemic racism, pervasive elitism, and injustice

against individuals in the legal system. In trial lawyer, he shares details of the most

compelling cases he's encountered and exposes the dilemmas he's faced throughout his one

of a kind career. The profound, the consequential, the shocking, the bizarre, and even the humorous

trial lawyer brings to life what it means to represent people against power.

From his first case as a young law student on the famous and highly politicized San Quentin

Sixth case, and throughout his 40-year career, Zitren has worked on dozens of cases that

underscore the inherent biases of the legal system towards people of color, the poor,

the less educated, and those who just don't appear to fit the mold of whatever society

considers normal. His personal stories about him bring the reader inside the courtroom

to experience a unique cast of characters, strange but true facts, brilliant trial tricks,

and tactics, and not so brilliant ones that failed miserably. Each had its own lessons

about social justice, fairness, strategy, ethics, morality, and more. The book that we're

featuring this evening is trial lawyer, a life representing people against power with

my special guest, attorney and author Richard Zitren. Welcome to the program, and thank
