Schmerguls | otra reseña | Feb 3, 2018 | Earl Rogers was a ground-breaking criminal lawyer in the early 1900s in California. He was the first to use ballistics to prove his clients' innocence, the first to use re-enactments in court and is generally credited with being one of the best trial lawyers in America.
This biography is written by his daughter, Adela (whom he called Nora), some years after his death. Adela was a constant companion to her father while growing up, seldom attending formal school and never leaving with her mother through three divorces and several separations. Her love for her father shines through the book, but she has made a real attempt to be truthful, showing her father's weaknesses as well as his strengths. Well written...it often reads like a crime novel...this book provides a historical perspective on the law as we know it today.
