Vincent Bugliosi - Prosecution of George W Bush for Murder

Famed prosecutor of Charles Manson and three time #1 New York Times bestselling author Vincent Bugliosi has written the most powerful, explosive, and thought-provoking book of his storied career. In The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder, Bugliosi presents a tight, meticulously researched legal case that puts George W. Bush on trial in an American courtroom for the murder of over 4,000 American soldiers fighting the war in Iraq. Bugliosi sets forth the legal architecture and incontrovertible evidence that the Bush administration took this nation to war in Iraq under false pretensesÂÂ-a war that has not only caused the deaths of American soldiers but also over 100,000 innocent Iraqi men, women, and children; cost the United States over one trillion dollars thus far with no end in sight; and alienated many American allies in the Western world. As a prosecutor who is dedicated to seeking justice, Bugliosi, in his inimitable style, delivers a non-partisan argument, free from party lines and instead based upon hard facts and pure objectivity. A searing indictment of the 43rd President and his administration, The Prosecution of George W. Bush for Murder also outlines a legally credible pathway to holding our highest government officials accountable for their actions, thereby creating a framework for future occupants of the oval office. Bugliosi calls for the United States of America to return to the great nation it once was and can be again. He believes the first step to achieving this goal is to bring those responsible for the war in Iraq to justice. About Vincent Bugliosi - He received his law degree in 1964. In his career at the L.A. County District AttorneyÂÂ's office, he successfully prosecuted 105 out of 106 felony jury trials, including 21 murder convictions without a single loss. His most famous trial, the Charles Manson case, became the basis of his classic, Helter Skelter, the biggest selling true-crime book in publishing history. Two of BugliosiÂÂ's other booksÂÂ-And the Sea Will Tell and OutrageÂÂ-also reached #1 on the New York Times hardcover bestseller list. No other American true-crime writer has ever had more than one book that achieved this ranking. His latest book, Reclaiming History: The Assassination of President John F. Kennedy, has been heralded as "epic" and "a book for the ages." Bugliosi has uncommonly attained success in two separate and distinct fields, as an author and a lawyer. His excellence as a trial lawyer is best captured in the judgment of his peers: "Bugliosi is as good a prosecutor as there ever was," Alan Dershowitz says. F. Lee Bailey calls Bugliosi "the quintessential prosecutor." "There is only one Vince Bugliosi. HeÂÂ's the best," says Robert Tanenbaum, for years the top homicide prosecutor in the Manhattan D.A.ÂÂ's office. Most telling is the comment by Gerry Spence, who squared off against Bugliosi in a twenty-one-hour televised, scriptless "docu-trial" of Lee Harvey Oswald, in which the original key witnesses to the Kennedy assassination testified and were cross-examined. After the Dallas jury returned a guilty verdict in BugliosiÂÂ's favor, Spence said, "No other lawyer in America could have done what Vince did in this case." Vincent Bugliosi lives with his wife, Gail, in Los Angeles. He will come to Santa Barbara to lead this public discussion of his book and ideas for moving forward with prosecution. The event will conclude with book-signing. Free event -- first come, first seated -- 8pm Thursday, November 12th in the Faulkner Gallery, Central Public Library, 40 East Anapamu Street, downtown Santa Barbara.
