This book is written by Andrea Lyon, one of America's most famous criminal defense attorneys. I first read about her in "Defending the Damned: Inside Chicago's Cook County's Public Defender's Office" by Kevin Davis. It was what made me want to be a criminal defense attorney in the first place. When I interviewed with my boss, he mentioned Andrea Lyon in our first interview, and my face must have lit up because he asked if I knew her. I responded that I hadn't, but I wanted to. And he mentioned that she was one of his best friends and they occasionally tried cases together. (At that point, I died and was dead.) Later, after he'd introduced me to her, I mentioned to Professor Lyon that I first read about her in Defending the Damned, to which she replied. "Oh. You should read MY book!" And I replied, "I DID! IT WAS GREAT!"And it really is. It's a gripping, compelling, deeply personal account of Prof. Lyon's time as a criminal defense attorney in Chicago. (She still is, but she's also the Dean of DePaul University's law school's clinical programs, and next year will be the Dean of Valparaiso Law. She wears many hats.) This isn't for the faint of hearts, and it isn't for those people who want to ask, "But how can you defend someone like THAT?"Well, I take that back. It might be for the latter, if they're willing to learn rather than just pass judgment. This book is nothing short of an inspiration for young criminal defense attorneys, like me, and law students, like I used to be. It's a collection of stories from Prof. Lyon's time in the trenches, when she became the first female to lead the Murder Task Force, an elite group of public defenders who only handled death penalty cases. Illinois abolished the death penalty at the state level in 2010, so that group is now defunct. However, the death penalty is still available in Illinois on the federal level, and Prof. Lyon continues to work cases like that, protecting federal criminal defendant's from federally-sanctioned murder.This is a wonderful book. I cannot recommend it highly enough - to the right audience. To an audience that is willing to learn about defense attorneys, about the criminal justice system, and willing to move beyond the narrow boundaries of "but how can you defend people like THAT?"
Andrea Lyon tells the story of her life's work, first as a public defender in Cook County, IL (Chicago) and then as a private public-interest attorney litigating post-conviction claims (appeals, habeus and clemency petitions, etc.) on behalf of people sentenced to death.As a public defender myself I can say that this is a great book that everyone should read. Although a cynic might try to dismiss this book as just another lawyer thinking her cases and life are something special, that would simply be unfair. Lyon strikes a beautiful balance here by never sounding boastful even as she describes the Herculean feats she has accomplished in her life and work. She clearly takes pride in her accomplishments, but she is always humble and understated in making you understand how well-deserved that pride really is. If anything, she is too humble, which risks giving the impression that the cases she tried, the battles she won, were not all that difficult, when nothing could be further from the truth. Fighting the immense power of the state, standing up to prejudice and fear, working with and for people upon whom the rest of society has given up, then figuring out how to connect with a jury, finding a way to get 12 people to see past their fears and prejudices and biases and see the human being they are judging—it all takes something close to magic and for Lyon to make it seem easy shows just how good she is.But that's exactly why everyone should read this book: it's a collection of powerful and poignant examples of how important public defenders are and what a valuable role they play in out society. Lyon kept innocent people out of prison and prevented the state from destroying valuable and redeemable human lives. She spent her career standing up and fighting for people who had no one and nothing, and reminding all of us that we cannot have justice without someone like her fighting on behalf of those we, as a society, have accused of crimes. This is what public defenders do. And just as Lyon connected with all those juries, in this book she connects with readers to help them understand the importance and righteousness of the work she has done.I loved this book, but no book is perfect and this one could have been improved (at least for me) in two main ways. First, the book largely avoids discussion of the politics of being a public defender, and especially a public defender in Chicago. Lyon does address the misogyny and homophobia of judges, and she mentions that politics can play a role in cases, such as when juries may be likely to want to convict a defendant more if the "victim" is white and/or wealthy and/or holds a prominent position. That's all great stuff, but I wanted more. What about the politics within the office itself? (She does mention that "political patronage plays a substantial role" in hiring public defenders, something that may be less true today but....) What about the union? What about the battles public defenders often have to wage against supervisors and politicians for resources and time to work a case the right way?On this point, the bit of history Lyon provides about the genesis of the Homicide Task Force is fascinating. She relates how she asked the Task Force's founder, Bill Murphy, about it. "It's where the best trial lawyers and the real troublemakers end up," he said. You have to hope that's true, considering the seriousness of the cases the Task Force's members carry. But Murphy goes on to explain that he started the unit because he saw that people were getting passed from lawyer to lawyer for weeks or even months from the time of their arrest to the time of anyone getting serious about fighting their case. Murphy saw that this was a horrible way to fight a criminal charge, not to mention a horrible way to give anyone the impression that public defenders are real lawyers who care about their clients. So Murphy started Homicide Task (known inside the office today as Murder Task) to make sure that lawyers met people accused of the most serious crimes at preliminary hearing and followed their cases all the way through to final judgment. He should have gone farther and made sure the lawyers started on the case at bond hearing or before, but at least it's something. Today, Murder Task still exists and provides that sort of continuous representation to a handful of defendants in Cook County. For everyone else, the office remains broken, leaving defendants more or less without counsel until weeks or months after their arrest. It's appalling, really, and both amazing and depressing to learn that it's been this way for more than 30 years.In addition to my wish that the book included more such insights and history into the inner workings of one of the nation's largest public defender offices, my second quibble is that the actual order of the chapters seemed off to me. Specifically, the penultimate and last chapters should be switched. Dierdre's story in chapter 12 was the climax of the book — the story of the innocent woman who spent years on death row, lost every appeal and post-conviction plea despite good evidence of actual innocence, and then was saved at the last minute by a governor's pardon. This was the case that seemed most touching and dramatic and which Lyon built up the most and to greatest effect. This was also the case of which Lyon seemed most proud. Chronologically it came, as far as I could tell, later than most or all of the other cases Lyon discusses. Finally, it had about the happiest possible ending anyone could hope for. All of this meant that when I reached the conclusion of that chapter, it felt like Lyon's life had come full circle, like she had told about all there was to tell. It felt like a climax and something of an exclamation point. The end. Yet with no transition, the book moves right on to the final chapter, the story of another case, one that Lyon worked on before her triumph with Dierdre, and one that could not hope to top the impact of Dierdre's story in any way. While I enjoyed this chapter, it felt out of place and anticlimactic. There is no reason for anything except possibly a short epilogue to follow Dierdre's story. For me, and I suspect for many other readers, the book would come to a more natural and satisfying conclusion if these two chapters were rearranged.Finally, the epilogue attempts to being us all up to date on the death penalty in IL but even though the book was published in 2010 it is already out of date. In 2011 Illinois abolished the death penalty once and for all. We can thank Lyon for working tirelessly to defeat that terrible punishment when it was legal, and for showing its flaws so that legislatures could see that ending it was the right thing to do.
With a title like "Angel of Death Row," I was expecting to read an ego-filled, self-congratulatory autobiography, written by a veteran criminal defense attorney, but Andrea Lyon does an excellent job of writing about her experiences in the courtroom and with her impoverished clients.When lawyers write their autobiographies, they usually make the mistake of believing that readers are heavily interested in their personal lives. We're not. To her credit, Lyon keeps the majority of her story inside the courtroom and the legal system, telling readers only the things they really need to know about her personal life, and her experiences as a woman in an almost entirely male world - today, most people take for granted the presence of women lawyers in every part of society, but when Lyon started her career in 1979, it wasn't as common to see females in the legal profession, unless they were somebody's secretary.I enjoyed reading this book, and I recommend it for anyone who is interested in becoming a lawyer. Someone in law school may read "Angel of Death Row" and decide they aren't really cut out for this line of work. Or maybe they will get caught up in Lyon's idealism and decide to go into criminal law. Either choice is a good one.
