More praise for Convicting Avery (Prometheus Books), this time from the New York Journal of Books:
"Cicchini skillfully examines and explains the legal how’s and why’s of these controversial convictions . . . while convincingly demonstrating that the injustices perpetrated against Avery and others were not an unusual occurrence. . . . [T]he author’s writing style and concise analysis allows those not familiar with legal terminology to easily comprehend the complexities of the case. Overall, Convicting Avery is a revealing and fascinating read that will interest readers of true crime, criminal law, or American legal procedures."

Here is an except from another recent review, this one from Blog Critics:
"Probably no state legislative or Congressional session now goes by without some quipster referring to the hoary aphorism suggesting it’s best not to watch laws being made. . . .Wisconsin criminal defense attorney
Michael D. Cicchini suggests the same could be said of watching the law being
applied. . . . While built around a particular case, the issues raised
in Convicting Avery apply to the criminal justice system as a
whole. . . . Regardless of one’s personal opinions, the book provides a
considered insider’s view of parts of the criminal justice system the public
rarely sees."
"Probably no state legislative or Congressional session now goes by without some quipster referring to the hoary aphorism suggesting it’s best not to watch laws being made. . . .
