True Crime Tuesday presents: Trial By Ambush: Murder, Injustice, and the Truth About Barbara Graham with Attorney/Prosecutor/Media Personality/Best Selling Author, Marcia Clark!
Marcia Clark may be most famous for her work as a Los Angeles prosecutor handling high-profile murder cases, but she’s also been a defense attorney and an appellate lawyer for many years—and therefore has spent most of her life immersed in true crime. A compelling and talented storyteller who has written about both her own life and fictional lawyers she created, Clark is also the author of a #1 New York Times bestselling memoir and nine legal thrillers.
Marcia Clark may be most famous for her work as a Los Angeles prosecutor handling high-profile murder cases, but she’s also been a defense attorney and an appellate lawyer for many years—and therefore has spent most of her life immersed in true crime. A compelling and talented storyteller who has written about both her own life and fictional lawyers she created, Clark is also the author of a #1 New York Times bestselling memoir and nine legal thrillers.
Now, Clark takes on a historical true crime from 1950s Los Angeles in her nonfiction narrative, TRIAL BY AMBUSH: Murder, Injustice, and the Truth about the Case of Barbara Graham, which is available now from Thomas & Mercer . The case became the 50’s version of “the Trial of the Century” and resulted in Graham’s conviction and execution. And while the story became an Oscar-winning 1958 film, I Want to Live! starring Susan Hayward, the true and complete story about the trial, the prosecution and the cruel spotlight trained on Barbara Graham throughout has never been told. TRIAL BY AMBUSH shines a bright, modern light on the crime, the investigation, the trial, and the judgment. Drawing on her vast expertise and perspective as a criminal lawyer, Clark exposes the fallacies in the demonizing picture they painted, the blatant misogyny both inside the courtroom and out, the critical evidence that was never revealed, and the prosecutorial win-at-all-costs mentality that violated ethical boundaries, exploited sexist biases and subverted justice.
Marcia joins TCT today to discuss the crazy circumstances surrounding Barbara's case, why she chose to write about Barbara's case, and tells us how this case changed the landscape of American law as we know it!
