  The dark side of the police

  An inspector at 36 Quai des Orfèvres and a specialist in combating drug trafficking in Marseille, Jean-Pierre Colombiès is now a well-known figure in street-level policing—some might say he has become “the police’s media loudmouth.” In this book, he methodically confronts his unshakeable faith in the institution with the proven abuses of the “Big Shop.” He recounts those moments when, to “make a killing,” he was asked to peddle heroin to those who might help him make a big bust—in other words, those moments when the state asked him to become a dealer to catch dealers. He describes those moments when the police are encouraged to “meet quotas” by making indiscriminate arrests rather than intervening judiciously. He reveals the influence of corrupt networks that rule the roost within the institution, promoting incompetents or protecting deviant officers. He denounces the tyranny of statistics that guide officials at the expense of service to the public. He shows how “law enforcement” can be called upon to “crack down on citizens” to set an example—yes, even in France. And, regrettably, he highlights how much both hatred of the police and the blunders of the more or less “big bosses” at the top can render ineffective the efforts of officers committed every day to serving the public.

  In the tradition of bestselling legal memoirs from Johnnie Cochran, F. Lee Bailey, Gerry Spence, and Alan Dershowitz, John Henry Browne’s The Devil’s Defender recounts his tortuous education in what it means to be an advocate—and a human being. 
  For the last four decades, Browne has defended the indefensible. From Facebook folk hero the “Barefoot Bandit” Colton Moore, to Benjamin Ng of the Wah Mee massacre and Kandahar massacre culprit Sergeant Robert Bales, Browne’s unceasing advocacy and the daring to take on some of the most unwinnable cases—and nearly win them all—has led 48 Hours’ Peter Van Sant to call him “the most famous lawyer in America.” But although the Browne that America has come to know cuts a dashing and confident figure, he has forever been haunted by his job as counsel to Ted Bundy, the most infamous serial killer in American history. 
  Browne, a drug- and alcohol-addicted yet wildly successful defense attorney who could never let go of the case that started it all, here asks himself the question others have asked him all along: Does defending evil make you evil too?
