Responding to Dershowitz's slam, Mashberg says, "I'm a journalist. I'm not an agent of the government. The Federal Government makes deals with criminals all the time. They turn drug dealer A loose to get drug dealer B; they free mob killer A to get mob killer B. And Alan Dershowitz represents wife abusers and murderers. I don't see how he isn't guilty of the same thing he accuses me of. This case basically was nowhere after 7 1/2 years, and in the last 7 1/2 weeks, look...
...hard to imagine Nushawn Williams, 21, as the sort of young man in possession of a facility with the opposite sex. However, in the desolate housing projects of Brooklyn's Crown Heights section and the depressed pockets of rural Chautauqua County in western New York, the crack dealer collected female admirers with displays of bravado, promises of jewelry, a willingness to steal a coat if a girl found herself too cold.

In December 1905, in Caldwell, Idaho, a sagebrush railroad town near Boise, a bomb attached to a garden gate killed the state's former Governor, Frank Steunenberg. Blame for the murder was quickly pinned on traveling "sheep dealer" Harry Orchard, who confessed to being a paid assassin for the Western Federation of Miners, one of the era's most powerful labor unions. The union's highest officials were indicted, and the young Clarence Darrow hired to defend them. The result was a kind of class war in miniature...
...that result in a performance which feels contrived--although this may be just the point. Nelson gets the best lines, and uses them to great effect in creating a surprisingly vibrant and convincing young Einstein. The rest of the supporting cast--including a bartender, a waitress and an art dealer--do a highly credible job of fleshing out their characters. The set design and the costumes are simple and elegant, employing bright colors and easy-to-see props...
