About Let Justice Be Done: A New York Trial Lawyer's
In LET JUSTICE BE DONE, with tremendous humor and charm, Peter DeBlasio tells the unusual stories of everyday New Yorkers who unexpectedly find themselves at the epicenter of a lawsuit. In this sparkling memoir of his career at law, first as a federal prosecutor, then as a defense lawyer, and finally as a plaintiff's attorney for the injured, DeBlasio uses his most memorable cases to demystify the legal process while milking the courtroom drama for every last ounce of fascination. With each case, DeBlasio gives a master class in storytelling, hooking the reader's attention up front with a few intriguing details, doubling back to present the setting of the events with economy, and jumping forward into the courtroom drama as it happened. By tale's end, the reader, no less than the jury, has come away wiser about the law and with deep compassion for DeBlasio's client - and with a surprising appreciation for lawyers. Woven throughout the collection of predominantly civil cases, DeBlasio also tells a series of stories about one of the great true-crime mysteries of the last century. After recounting details of the 1975 kidnapping of Samuel Bronfman II - heir to the Seagram fortune - and the remarkable acquittal of his client Dominic Byrne, who was caught red-handed in a Brooklyn apartment with his victim, DeBlasio now reveals who really kidnapped Sam, and why. (A word of gratitude to Debbie Burke at https://bit.ly/DebbieBurke for lending a magical eye - and musical ear - to proofread the manuscript at the end stage.)
