PRAISE FOR THE WORK OF MICHAEL CICCHINI: This book is very eye opening and should be read by anyone who is interested in pursuing a career in law enforcement. It is a concise and well-written work that would make excellent supplemental reading material for virtually any undergraduate or graduate level course related to criminal law or criminal procedure. I strongly recommend this book. Once I opened it, I literally could not stop reading. -- International Criminal Justice Review (reviewing Tried and Convicted )

<i>Convicting Avery</i> is a smart, irreverent analysis of the Avery and Dassey cases from <i>Making a Murderer</i>. It's a fascinating and, at times, deeply disturbing examination of the problems that plague our criminal justice system. --Lawrence White, PhD, false confession expert in <i>Making a Murderer</i>, and professor of psychology at Beloit College <i>Convicting Avery</i> is that rare book that is superbly written by an expert in criminal law, reads like a thriller, and offers much that would surprise even seasoned lawyers. I read it in one sitting. --Matthew Flynn, commercial litigation partner of Quarles and Brady, former chairman of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin, and author of <i>Pryme Knumber</i> <i>Convicting Avery</i> is disturbing. And this is all the more reason why it is a must-read. Criminal defense lawyer Michael D. Cicchini informs, illuminates, and impels us to take a hard, clear-sighted look at our broken criminal justice system and what it means to our own threatened presumption of innocence. Cicchini takes us concisely and incisively through the widely publicized trials and murder convictions of Steven Avery and Brendan Dassey, which were given so much notoriety via the Netflix documentary <i>Making a Murderer</i>. But Cicchini's book is no redundant recitation of either the case or the documentary. Nor is it a ponderous, pedantic treatise. It is instead replete with fresh, unsettling truths and insights. <i>Convicting Avery</i> is highly readable and well researched, and leavened with common sense and cutting wit. It's a galvanizing book--expertly and persuasively written. Highly recommended. --Mauricio Mo Hernandez, attorney
