Summary | "Courts, Criminals, and the Camorra" by Arthur Cheney Train is a detailed examination of the American criminal justice system, structured as a historical account likely written in the early 20th century. The book delves into various aspects of criminal law, including the presumption of innocence, police practices, and the intricacies of preparing a criminal case for trial. Train, who has experience as a prosecutor, demonstrates a comprehensive understanding of the flaws and nuances within the legal framework and the often paradoxical nature of justice. At the start of the narrative, Train introduces the case of an individual named Duffy, who was improperly treated by police officers, highlighting the tension between law enforcement practices and citizens' rights. He uses Duffy's experience to set the stage for a broader discussion about the systemic issues within the judicial system, such as the questionable legality of certain police actions, the difficulties in maintaining civil liberties, and the conflicting pressures faced by law enforcement. Train argues that while the presumption of innocence is a cornerstone of American jurisprudence, the reality often reflects a presumption of guilt stemming from public sentiments, societal norms, and procedural inequities, leading to a complex portrayal of justice that raises ethical questions about liberty and law enforcement.
