Captivating audiences across demographic lines, it made Steven Avery a household name and thrust defense attorney Jerome F. Buting-and his fight against America's dysfunctional criminal justice system-into the spotlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eIllusion of Justice\u003c\/em\u003e, Buting uses the Avery case as a springboard to examine the shaky integrity of our law enforcement and legal systems, which he has witnessed firsthand for nearly four decades. From his early career as a public defender to his success overturning wrongful convictions, his story provides a compelling insider's view into the high-stakes world of criminal defense, and suggests that while in principle the law presumes innocence, in practice it more often than not presumes guilt.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCombining narrative reportage with critical commentary and personal reflection, Buting explores his professional motivations, the high-profile cases that defined his career, and the path to much-needed criminal justice reform.
