Trials and Tribulations - Bad Judges - CrookedCops - Corrupt Politicians

Book Synopsis: They called the Author, "Max" Manning, because he always demanded maximum time for the crime. The reputation nearly killed "Max" when one defendant plotted to assassinate the career prosecutor in the James Bond, not the real double o seven case. Beside bad judges, crooked cops, and corrupt politicians, the reader will be placed in the courtroom with: Mafia Hitters; bank robbers; an ax murderer; larcenous lawyers; conniving college professors; drug dealers; loan sharks; conspiring religious leaders; perverts; predators; pedophiles, and a multitude of other dangerous criminals confronting the relentless prosecutor. Captivating chapters include: "Who Will Judge the Judges:" "A Senator for Sale:" "The Preacher Was A Bank Robber:" "Light Fingers and Heavy Hands:" "Murderers Row;" "I Always Wanted to Kill A Cop;" "The Banker, A Hooker and The Mob;" Devious Doctors, Bandit Bishops and Shyster Lawyers;" and "A Bar Exam for Sale." The Author explains why the criminal law is so ineffective and advances innovative and practical solutions to remedy the problem to secure a more stable America by: Simplifying the federal tax code; Removing incompetent judges from the bench; Ridding the highways of intoxicated drivers; Reducing the school dropout rate; Reforming political campaigns; Diminishing the number and severity of motor vehicle accidents; Revising the criminal law; Energizing the educational experience; and Revitalizing the election process. The autobiography is riveting reading, captures the drama and excitement of the criminal trial and explains the basic law. The volume is replete with bold ideas to meet the challenges of an American society in dire need of restructuring. Bernard "Max" Manning is exceptionally well qualified to expatiate on these matters since he tried more than a thousand complex criminal cases; Served as a Special Agent in Counterintelligence in the Philadelphia Field Office; was an Assistant Attorney General assigned to Organized Crime and Political Corruption investigations, prosecutions, and appeals; Retired as Deputy Chief of the Massachusetts Criminal Bureau; Taught law enforcement courses at Northeastern University; and wrote seven textbooks on criminal law, the rules of evidence, cross-examination, trial tactics and procedure.
