À propos de cette écoute
In Scoundrels to the Hoosegow, a veteran prosecutor shares legal stories drawn from real life. In cases ranging from tragic to hilarious, Swingle offers a behind-the-scenes look at the justice system, from crime scenes to courtrooms. Swingle does for his profession what Mark Twain did for riverboat piloting. He leads listeners on an enjoyable romp through crime and punishment, while offering clear expositions of legal points—from subtleties of cross-examination to pitfalls of plea bargaining.
From indecent exposure to serial murder, Swingle discusses issues faced daily by prosecutors. Whether describing a drunk who frees dogs from the pound or a serial killer who terrorizes the community, he combines true crime and legal analysis with a healthy dose of humor—and shares the occasional “Perry Mason moment."

Commentaires
Morley Swingle’s Scoundrels to the Hoosegow is not only consistently fascinating, but there is much to be learned from it about life in and out of an American courtroom. I highly recommend this engrossing book.” Vincent Bugliosi
"Morley Swingle is a rarity among lawyers, and almost unique among prosecutors: a man who loves the books as much as the courtroom, and who writes as well as he dissects witnesses on the stand. Swingle presents the life of a country prosecutor with verve and wit. Scoundrels is a highly enjoyable romp through crime and punishment. If Tom Wolfe’s Bonfire of the Vanities captured the essence of criminal practice in a major metropolis, then Scoundrels captures the essence of that practice in small town and rural America.” Robert H. Dierker, Jr., Retired Circuit Court Judge
"Morley Swingle is a terrific writer and an even better entertainer. Lawyers and non-lawyers alike will enjoy being along for this informative and entertaining trip to the hoosegow.” Alan J. Courture, Forward, Reviews of Indie Books.
