Summary of Jeff Ashton's Imperfect Justice - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was brought in to help with the case of Caylee Anthony, a two-year-old girl who had gone missing in 2008. I had experience with forensic evidence, and Linda thought my perspective and experience might be helpful. #2 I had been working with Linda since she joined the office in 1989. We had worked on many cases together, and in 1987, I had prosecuted the first case in the world in which DNA evidence was used to convict a suspect. #3 I had the makings of a lawyer since I was eight years old.
When I was in fourth grade, my grandmother and great-aunt Thelma were visiting us in Saint Petersburg. Thelma said I should be a lawyer. I was an underachiever in school, but got through the public school system reasonably well. #4 I was the only one in my family who did not go into accounting. I graduated from law school in 1983, and was hired by the State Attorney's Office in Orlando. I prosecuted my first murder case in 1983, and my first death penalty case two years later.
