På tal om Brady bevis så kommer alla ihåg det från General Flynns rättegång. Om DoJ och de federala åklagarna har satt i system att undanhålla bevis så skriver jag under på testosteronhalten hos Powell “I seemed to have more testosterone than all of them put together,” she quips. In truth, Sidney Powell has more testosterone than pretty much any roomful of lawyers, be they men or women. Writing a book like this more than proves it. Not only does she take on, by name, prosecutors and former prosecutors who continue to serve in powerful and responsible positions, she is also relentless in criticizing judges before whom she has practiced for years. Few lawyers have the stones to do this.

Some of what Powell recounts—such as the concealment of evidence and lies told to the court in the Stevens case—is in the public record and not subject to reasonable dispute. As to other matters, she draws on her own experience, the trial record and evidence later uncovered to level serious accusations of malfeasance against the lawyers and judges involved in the high-profile criminal cases she discusses. Readers can make up their own minds as to whether those accusations are supported. It is hoped that those at whom she points the finger will answer the charges. One way or another, however, this book should serve as the beginning of a serious conversation about whether our criminal justice system continues to live up to its vaunted reputation. As citizens of a free society, we all have an important stake in making sure that it does.
