Guilty as Charged
Gabriel Boutros
Robert Bratt has a problem. As an esteemed Montreal defense attorney, he finds himself frequently called upon to provide the best counsel possible for individuals he knows to be guilty. So it goes, until a family friend's assailant, Bratt's former client, walks free. Bratt's faith in the justice system wavers, particularly as he inherits a particularly nasty challenge.Bratt's chances of being appointed a judge may rest on whether he can help acquit an arrogant man accused of a brutal double-murder. Bratt knows this man to be guilty, but has excellent witnesses and a credible argument on his side. All that remains to be overcome: his conscience. Can Bratt overcome his own guilt to free this final criminal? What are the moral ramifications of his actions, or his inaction? In Guilty as Charged, we are confronted with our own set of questions, about accountability, about justice, and about doing what we must do, regardless of circumstance.
Review: "A captivating story. A double murder, romance, and riveting courtroom drama. The ideal read for the 2000's."
-Jordan Charness, attorney, columnist for The Montreal Gazette
