Mickey Sherman,"enemy to those who make him an enemy, friend to those who have no friend."* author of "How Can You Defend Those People." should perhaps down a double dose of Ritalin, and wash it down with an Adderal and Provigil chaser before he bravely subjects himself to the off-the-wall interrogations that have become the hallmark of TRUE CRIMES, hosted by Burl Barer and Don Woldman on Outlaw Radio!
"No," said Barer, "we prefer Mickey Sherman in his natural state, which is somewhere on the East Coast. He will call us from the wall phone in his kitchen, while his lovely spouse, Lis Wiehl of FOX, makes him pastrami on Wonder Bread with mayo."
Sherman is a high-profile, colorful, and iconoclastic criminal defense attorney -- the best kind! The same qualities that have made Sherman so wildly successful before the bar and as a ubiquitous television commentator are on display in this account of why he wouldn’t trade his job for any other in the world and why it is that defense attorneys do what they do – defend the thoroughly guilty, the somewhat-guilty, and the innocent with the same passion and vigor. How Can You Defend Those People? is part memoir and part voyeuristic journey through the American criminal justice system; along the way the reader meets many of Mickey’s celebrity clients and is treated to inside accounts of their cases. Sherman’s winning style, self-deprecating humor, and his easy manner make it an eminently readable and enjoyable book.
