En este caso no tiene ninguna duda de la inocencia del acusado, por supuesto. Y luchará por conseguir no el veredicto de no culpable sino ser exculpado por inocente.

Haller must navigate through a legal landscape where the presumption of innocence is often overshadowed by media sensationalism and public opinion. The imperfect system, in my estimation, isn’t what many social justice activists would have us to believe these days. The fault can’t be laid at the feet of the police or prosecutorial misconduct. It has little to do with racism or an unattainable ideal called “equity.” When an innocent person gets convicted and goes to jail for a crime they didn’t commit, we can usually explain the cause using simple economics. The proverb, “You get what you pay for,” is never more appropriate than when you’re discussing “justice” in this country. You get as much “justice” as you can afford to pay for in terms of what kind of lawyer you can afford to hire. He faces an uphill battle as he fights against a system that often favors the prosecution. So, he must find a way to convince the jury of his innocence. What I also really appreciated about this novel is the fact that it is the first one I’ve read that includes Covid-19 in the storyline. Michael Connelly incorporated the virus in a very realistic way, which I must give him kudos for. I hope that other authors will follow suit. Michael Connelly decided to become a writer after discovering the books of Raymond Chandler while attending the University of Florida. Once he decided on this direction he chose a major in journalism and a minor in creative writing — a curriculum in which one of his teachers was novelist Harry Crews.Librarian Note: There is more than one author in the Goodreads' database with this name. See this thread for more information.

Over eighty million copies of Connelly’s books have sold worldwide and he has been translated into forty-five foreign languages. He has won the Edgar Award, Anthony Award, Macavity Award, Los Angeles Times Best Mystery/Thriller Award, Shamus Award, Dilys Award, Nero Award, Barry Award, Audie Award, Ridley Award, Maltese Falcon Award (Japan), .38 Caliber Award (France), Grand Prix Award (France), Premio Bancarella Award (Italy), and the Pepe Carvalho award (Spain) . Mientras, os la recomiendo encarecidamente, para que estéis preparados para leerla en cuanto la traduzcan.The people of LA can rest easy knowing there is no Dana Berg prosecuting cases in Los Angeles county these days with a district attorney there far more interested in “equity” than protecting innocent citizens from predators. Nowadays, there are probably thousands of guilty persons going free instead of one innocent person getting convicted. That’s how it works when you choose not to prosecute anyone. No os voy a contar nada más sobre The Law of Innocence, sólo que el suspense se mantiene hasta el mismo final, sin estar claro el futuro del abogado. Working with a co-counsel he knows well, Haller must prove his innocence to a panel of jurors who appear eager to hear what the state has to say. It’s sure to be a cutthroat trial where innocence will come second to the ability to spin tales. Haller has everything to lose as he finds himself in the hot seat, somewhere he’s not used to sitting. It’s when the teetotaller leaves The Redwood that his troubles begin. A cop car appears from nowhere and pulls him over. The Lincoln car that Haller is driving has apparently lost its rear number plate. Oh, and what’s that dripping from the boot and onto the road? Could it be BLOOD? But the bigger plot is the one against him. Haller knows he’s been framed, whether by a new enemy or an old one. As his trusted team, including his half-brother, Harry Bosch, investigates, Haller must use all his skills in the courtroom to counter the damning evidence against him.
