I certainly believe it's over for the jury system, but we won't admit it for a while.
From Joseph Wambaugh
The serial arsonist is the most difficult to apprehend because the evidence is burned up.
The Onion Field made a real writer. And then I knew it was over, I couldn't be a cop anymore.
As a cop, I dealt with every kind of bum and criminal. They all have more integrity than some Hollywood people.
Civil servants take forever to do anything.
No one I know of has ever had this experience-where you had to sit and wait and wait for a DNA test to come back just so you can write the last page of the book.
Today, lawyers are attacking more; they're attacking everything. A good example is the O.J. Simpson case.
I enjoy doing the research of nonfiction; that gives me some pleasure, being a detective again.
Every time I write a nonfiction book I get sued.
Jury selection is strictly an emotional process. They're looking for people they can manipulate. Both sides are.
