Produktbeschreibung

The Fallen is about a fifteen-year-old boy who is sentenced as an adult for the accidental murder of his mother's abusive boyfriend. In prison he is raped and sodomized, and when his assailant comes to do it again, the assailant is killed which all but seals this young boys fate in prison. However, he is eventually rescued by an attorney who agrees to take the case Pro Bono once the attorney's own incarcerated cousin castigates him for losing touch. And somehow, this case is exactly what the attorney needs to regain his perspective. At the murder trial he is pitted against a highly competitive, tough-as-nails prosecutor and impassive all-white jury that gets the culture-shock of their lives when he pulls an absolutely brilliant strategic move to have them view the crime scene (the prison) so they can better relate to the fear his young client felt.

Autorenporträt

Fred Shearer is a devoted writer who has been writing seriously for over a decade. He is currently incarcerated in Virginia's prison system and is due to be released in late 2002 where he will reside in the northern Virginia area and pursue his writing career. While in prison he remains active in enforcing change that will make prisons a safer environment for young children convicted and sentenced as adults. He does this by directing awareness groups, pushing for segregated housing for inmates under eighteen years of age, and contacting state legislators and other vital organizations and concerned families and citizens. That could be helpful in this task.
