Ready for the People: My Most Chilling Cases as a Prosecutor

Rating:
Summary: Awesome True Crime Book
Review: What makes this book so compelling is that you get to hear the perspective of the actual prosecutor in the cases described. Through Marissa Batt's words, you get a virtual tour of the way the Los Angeles legal system works, or in some cases doesn't work. You are introduced to characters that actually inhabit Los Angeles, who actually went through the situations described - cases that are so intense and bizarre, they seem unbelievable. Through it all, you get a comprehensive version of the legal system mirroring human lives and decisions, as seen through the eyes of a person who does their job with integrity, intensity, and strenth of character. READ THIS BOOK! It is a thorougly enjoyable read though shocking and extremely upsetting at times.
