The Jerry Giesler Story, as told to journalist Pete Martin, chronicles five decades of landmark legal battles, presenting an insider's account of the sensational cases that defined an age, from defending Charlie Chaplin against career-destroying accusations to representing Errol Flynn, Bugsy Siegel, and a constellation of other luminaries whose fates hung in the balance of a jury's verdict.\n\nThis memoir is far more than a lawyer's casebook — it is a vivid portrait of celebrity, power, and justice in golden-age America, where the courtroom was as much a stage as any backlot in Burbank. Giesler's narrative voice, sharp and unapologetic, illuminates the razor's edge between guilt and acquittal, and the moral complexities that shadowed every case he took. Written with the pace and drama of a Hollywood thriller, it remains a remarkable document of a legal titan who understood that the truth, in the right hands, was always the most powerful story in the room.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203207700699,"sku":"2026200015239-SECONDHAND","price":30.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/926ea742-717e-4694-9419-f58efb6ebb59.png?v=1788145732","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200015239-secondhand-the-jerry-giesler-story","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
