Guilt by Accusation
Alan Dershowitz, a respected legal scholar, presents his defense against sexual misconduct accusations, offering incontrovertible evidence of his innocence. He provides an in-depth analysis of the false claims, including exculpatory evidence and admissions from his accuser's lawyer. Dershowitz also examines current attitudes toward sexual misconduct accusations in the #MeToo era, where due process is often overlooked. He suggests pathways to restore respect for due process within society and the legal system.
This book directly follows Dershowitz's earlier work, 'The Case Against Impeaching Trump,' as it continues his examination of legal processes and public opinion in high-profile cases, but shifts focus to personal defense.
The book primarily details Alan Dershowitz's personal defense against specific sexual misconduct allegations, presenting his legal arguments and evidence to counter the claims made against him.
While rooted in Dershowitz's personal experience, the book uses his case to analyze the broader societal and legal challenges to due process within the context of the #MeToo era.
