Practicing criminal defense attorney Dan Conaway has written Arrested to help us all understand our rights and responsibilities in the country we live in.
''The Beast''--as he refers to our criminal justice system--has little to do with the way it looks on TV. Clearing away the fiction, Conaway addresses real-world topics about how to handle yourself--and help others--when facing the worst.
Although not intended as a substitute for professional legal counsel, Arrested can be used as a guide as you work your way through the maze of one of the most complicated systems on the planet.
With the help of fact-based scenarios, Conaway shows us all what could happen to any of us if we're not careful. Along with explanations of how we have become a ''zero-tolerance'' society--and practical, real-life examples--Arrested will give you the background and foresight to handle yourself in almost any situation.
