Profile

I marry painter Annette after graduation in Amherst University in 1971 in 1970. With a special study qualification of the Stanford University creative writing center (graduate school), I learned creation until 1972 and acted as a lecturer in Stanford University until 1975.

I decide to resign from Stanford University, and to plan turnover in the legal circles and enter Harvard Law School in 1975. Before entrance to school, I concluded a contract to write nonfiction writing about the first first grade in the law school, and to publish with a publishing company. The ibidem that the writing was One L (Japanese title "one year of the Harvard law school my trial") was published in 1977. In 1978, I graduate from Harvard Law School and acquire a Juri's doctor (equivalent to a Japanese legal affairs doctor). In the same year, it is adopted by the Chicago district federation prosecution station assistant public prosecutor and works until 1986. For the assistant public prosecutor, I was in charge of the well-known corruption case including the state Attorney General William Scott fraud case. In addition, I give operation gray road cases known as the bribe of the judicial officer who got up in Chicago and the corruption of the state judge an aggressive advice.

I resigned from the assistant public prosecutor with Presumed Innocent ("presumption of innocence") which I wrote during federal prosecution local existence job having become the bestseller and started writer activity.

As of 2005, I live in the suburbs of Chicago having the family of the child of wife, three.

Writer activity

According to the list of annual bestseller novels of the New York Times (List of bestselling novels in the United States), eighth place, Personal Injuries ("a decoy lawyer") serve as entering bestseller third place, Pleading Guilty ("guilty plea") seventh place, The Burden of Proof ("a burden of proof") Presumed Innocent ("presumption of innocence") in 1993 in 1990 in 1987, too. I took away the magazine thyme on a cover dated June 11, 1990 and described it as "the poet of the suit era".

"The presumption of innocence" filmized in 1990 by alane J Manager Pakula raised box office more than 200 million dollars in the world. The cast Harrison Ford, Brian デネヒー, Raul Julia ("Adams family").

Lawyer activity

After a writer activity start, I undertake free defense (professional Bono) as Lawyer partner of the ソネンシャイン eggplant Rosenthal international law office of Chicago and engage in defense activity. I spared most time in the retrial about two death penalty cases to mention later. The United States of the assistant public prosecutor era did not have the capital punishment, but the death penalty revives in 1988, and the death penalty is applied broadly from 1994. I was not able to have art (means) to explain when a capital punishment brought a good thing for society although I did not object to the death penalty daringly while feeling that a capital punishment was barbarian as for the toe low through the student, apprentice of go era.

The blindness in one eye of the retrial catches the defense lawyer of the condemned criminal Alex Hel naan death (Alejandro Hernandez) in 1994 and leaves it and I uncover many facts such as the evidence forgery by a prosecutor and the police officer, dew process disregard and prove a false accusation and I overturn final and conclusive judgment in 1995 and gain innocence and let you put an end to the condemned criminal life for 11 years of the Hel naan death and let you release it. As for the toe low, a prosecutor and a police officer and a jury took wrong evidence seriously by this false accusation case, and an investigation government official learned a fact to dye a hand from an evidence forgery more.

It was robbery and murder case, but there is not the intention of the killing at first and, as a result, I receive a defense lawyer of condemned criminal Chris Thomas (Christopher Thomas) for the accidental murder in 1996 and entrust the second. When there was disproportion of the assessment of a case between a crime and impulsive murder on having continued having in the timing of the crime or the urge to kill, it felt it, and this was because it had a question in a standard to apply the death penalty. I came to recognize the reality that I received it, and assessment of a case depended on the essential accidental condition in the judiciary processing depending on disproportion and a case of the assessment of a case by a race, the sex as for the toe low during the job of this case. As a result of defense lawyer toe low and others being a petition for emergency salvation, and having pressured it to work on a retrial after death penalty final and conclusive judgment, I authorize it when a prosecutor forces testimony becoming disadvantageous to Thomas in December, 1999, and the Lake county circuit court violated a right of Thomas. I overturned a death sentence of Thomas and became the judgment to mitigate a sentence of for penal servitude 100 years. Thomas may be released at 71 years old by a being under sentence manner.

Republican George Ryan (George H. Ryan) who was Secretary of State takes office as Illinois Governor in January, 1999. Ryan vetoes it during the next term in office to break off the subsidy for the abortion and, in support of against firearms possession, will take the route of the left, but I raise capital punishment support by the governor's race strongly and am elected you. In the case of a governor's race, the toe low examined an election issue, and the nominal Democrat did not support it and supported Ryan.

During holding the office of Ryan, many false accusations and assessment of a case injustice were found out by a death penalty case in Illinois, and it was estimated that the ratio reached a one-third, and it was a big problem to shake the state. Therefore Ryan declares a stop of the execution in January, 2000 and installs a death penalty advisory committee to constitute in 14 people including 12 lawyers and one member of the Upper House at the same time. The advisory committee submitted a report (report) including the advice suggestion (in 90% of them a committee unanimous agreement) of 85 items to the governor on April 15, 2002. Toe low drafts the report. As a result, Ryan decided an amnesty (the release) by the reason of all mitigation of penalty of 167 condemned criminals or innocence in January, 2003.

The toe low became an abolition of capital punishment debater by the activity as the question committee for 2 years. In October, 2002 after the question report presentation, I publish novel Reversible errors ("a death sentence") which got an idea for the false accusation case of the Alex Hel naan death. Furthermore, in October, 2003, I publish what toe low experienced over the death penalty, having learned or Ultimate Punishment:A Lawyer's Reflections on Dealing with the Death Penalty ("contemplation Iwanami Shoten of the means Risshu sect over the maximum penalty death penalty") which thereby spelled the changing process of the way of thinking for the death penalty.
