DALLAS, April 2, 2014 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- A tragic suicide, a likely murder, a tragic plane crash, wrongful imprisonment, and gripping courtroom scenes set the tone for "Licensed to Lie: Exposing Corruption in the Department of Justice" (Brown Books Publishing Group) by Sidney Powell.
This compelling true story of the strong-arm, illegal, and unethical tactics used by headline-grabbing federal prosecutors in their own narcissistic pursuit of power will give readers a new perspective on Justice and who needs to be held accountable now that some of the long-hidden evidence is revealed.
Its scope reaches from the US Department of Justice to the US Senate to the White House and is a scathing attack on prosecutors, judges, and all those who turned a blind eye to egregious injustices in the aftermath of the Enron collapse. The ramifications continue today as this corrupt cabal of former prosecutors now populates powerful political positions.
Based on her ten years of experience in the US Department of Justice and twenty years in private practice devoted to federal appeals, Sidney Powell digs deeper than "Conspiracy of Fools" and "The Smartest Guys in the Room," disclosing evidence prosecutors hid for years and dramatizes one shocking revelation after another.
"Licensed to Lie" leads readers to crucial questions: Did you know you can be prosecuted, convicted, and imprisoned in this country for something that was not even a crime? That even after acquittal, you have no recourse against prosecutors who hide evidence vital to your defense?
With the narrative style of a legal thriller, Powell leads readers through the disturbing events, missteps, cover-ups, malfeasance, and corruption of justice that have caused her to question the system she has been committed to for over thirty years.
