Chicago was the nation's deadliest city in 2001, recording 666 homicides. For lawyers in the Cook County Public Defender's Office Murder Task Force, that meant a steady flow of new clients. Eight out of ten people arrested for murder in Chicago are represented by public defenders. They're assigned the most challenging and seemingly hopeless cases, yet they always fight to win. One of those lawyers is Marijane Placek, a snakeskin boot-wearing, Shakespeare-quoting nonconformist whose courtroom bravado and sharp legal skills have made her a well-known figure around the courthouse. When an ex-convict was arrested on charges of killing a Chicago police officer that deadly year, Placek got the high-profile case, and her defense forms the hub around which the book's narrative revolves. Veteran journalist Kevin Davis reveals the compelling true story of a team of battle-scarred lawyers fighting against all odds. Unflinching, gripping, and full of surprises, Defending the Damned is an unforgettable human story and engaging courtroom drama where life and death hang in the balance. Davis explores the motives that compel these lawyers to come to work in this dark corner of the criminal justice system and exposes their insular and often misunderstood world. This groundbreaking work comes at a time when the country has seen how wrongful convictions have slipped through the system, that innocent people have been sent to death row, and that some police have lied or coerced suspects into confessing to crimes they did not commit. Such flaws drive these public defenders even harder to do their jobs, providing scrutiny to a long ignored and often broken system. Davis's reporting offers an unvarnished account of public defenders as never seen before. A powerful melding of courtroom drama and penetrating truecrime journalism, Defending the Damned is narrative nonfiction at its finest.Binding Type: Paperback

Mr. Beast snacks - Yes Please!
Style: Beef Jerky, Flavor Name: Original + Teriyaki + Peppered, Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 1)
Mr. Beast snacks are delicious and protein forward. Great for when you’re on the go and don’t want sugary snacks. They come in convenient packs you can throw in your bag and they stay fresh if you don’t eat them right away- living in Florida- that’s important. I highly recommend this product.

Small amount but great food product
Style: Beef Jerky, Flavor Name: Original + Teriyaki + Peppered, Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 1)
I have bought MrBeast stuff, mostly for my kids, and was never disappointed in the flavor and quantity. This time, however, the bags are small. I should have read correctly, so it is my fault. In my head, Mr. Beast's stuff is usually a good amount with better ingredients for a reasonable price. This time, it was not a reasonable price for the amount you get.
However, I would buy again for two reasons: #1 they taste great and feel more filling and lighter than other brands I normally eat, and #2 my wife can't stomach a lot of food, especially since she had her gallbladder removed. But with these sticks, she not only can eat them, but somehow she feels and looks more energetic. Maybe she is just getting a good source of protein that is harder for her to get when she can't stomach other protein foods.

Great mixed box
Style: Beef Jerky, Flavor Name: Original + Teriyaki + Peppered, Size: 9 Ounce (Pack of 1)
The jerky is my favorite jerky I ever had and I really like the mixed box because you get alil bit of everything. The jerky sticks are flavored nicely but the actual jerky is so freaking good. The flavor is good but it's the texture i love. It's not too soft but also not too hard.
