A Criminal Defense

The legal world provides a complex backdrop for moral dilemmas, but I'm curious what motivated the author to center the narrative around defense work specifically.

The detailed legal proceedings made the stakes feel real, but I wondered if it slowed the pace for some readers or if it was the right choice for authenticity.

The character's decisions felt nuanced and layered—I'm curious whether this was based on real cases or a deliberate narrative choice to explore moral ambiguity.
