THE LAST LAWYER: THE FIGHT TO SAVE DEATH ROW INMATES
Today is the launch date for The Last Lawyer, an inspiring new nonfiction book that syndicated columnist Leonard Pitts called “a compulsively readable indictment of a fatally flawed system. It reads like first-class legal fiction, but it’s far more compelling because it is, tragically, legal fact.”
North Carolina attorney Ken Rose has handled more capital appeals cases than almost any other attorney in the country. The new book chronicles Rose’s decade-long defense of Bo Jones, a North Carolina farmhand convicted of a 1987 murder. It’s the most frustrating case Ken has encountered in his 25 years as a capital appeals attorney – a landmark legal case that has received scant attention from judges or journalists. The case involves the thorniest issues of death penalty law: inadequate defense, mental retardation, mental illness, and sketchy witness testimony. Yet for many years, Ken’s arguments gain no traction, and Bo Jones comes within three days of his date with the needle.
The book follows Ken through a decade of setbacks and triumphs as he gradually unearths the evidence he hopes will save his client’s life. At the same time, Ken also single-handedly builds a nonprofit law firm that becomes a major force in the death penalty debate raging across the South. The Last Lawyer gives readers deep access to the inner workings of a capital defense team; no other nonfiction book has told this kind of story from the lawyer’s point of view. The book is based on four-and-a-half years of behind-the-scenes reporting by journalism professor/nonfiction author John Temple.

John’s wife, Hollee, blogged about what happened to their family during the course of the book’s reporting on her blog today at beckyandhollee.com/blog.

Description
Boogie Box is the first complete workout to incorporate cardio, toning, sculpting, core balance and strength training all in one by utilizing the principal of “Applied Muscle Resistance “. Many dancers will never use dumbbells, barbells or machinery to hone their bodies because it bulks them up and limits their movement. Yet, they have great physiques and body control that many of us can only wish for, not to mention their six-pack abs and tight butt. They achieve this by using their own body weight to apply muscle resistance though the execution of each movement (compressions, oppositions, resistance, extensions, etc.).
Boogie Box is truly NOT FOR THE WEAK! This workout is a high intensity fusion of hip hop & Latin dancing, mixed with kickboxing, plyometric exercises and military drills choreographed in intervals in order to really burn off those calories! By using applied muscle resistance and exaggerated, overemphasized dance movements that don’t keep you confined in a repetitive lateral workout, you are able to continually push your body further and avoid those dreaded plateaus. It’s effectiveness is proven! Boogie Box has been University tested and proven to burn up to 1,100 calories an hour – more than any other workout available today!
