Ross Mackay, the Saga of a Brilliant Criminal Lawyer: And His Big Losses and Bigger Wins in Court and in Life
Langbeschreibung
Ross Mackay was the counsel for the accused in the trials of the last men to be hanged in Canada. He was a mere thirty years old when he lost both clients to the gallows. But the trials were far from the last times that Mackay defended accused murderers in the most horrendous circumstances. This is the story of Mackay's dedication to the maxim that every man is entitled to a defence. It is also the story of his courage and the harsh penalties he paid for the often daring and controversial choices he made in life and in the courtroom.
Jack Batten graduated from the University of Toronto Law School, class of 1957, but chose to make his living as a freelance writer. As well as countless articles for such magazines as Maclean's, Rolling Stone and Toronto Life, he has written more than forty books. Seven are crime novels, and the rest cover a range of nonfiction. These include several biographies. His book about the long distance runner Tom Longboat won the $10,000 Norma Fleck Award. Many of the other biographies portray lawyers and judges in professional action in and out of courtrooms in every region of Canada. Jack Batten lives in Toronto with his wife, the writer and garden guru Marjorie Harris.
