This riveting memoir recounts the author Efrem Sigel's experience on a jury in a murder trial and his subsequent investigation of the conditions in East Harlem that led young people to be involved in drug-selling and criminal activity. Besides the trial itself, the book is the story of the failures in NYCHA housing projects, the schools and the criminal justice system, and the efforts of a handful of educators, nonprofit leaders and criminal justice reformers to find pathways to success for these young people. Sigel's quest for the real meaning of the trial took two years of visits to housing projects, police precincts, schools and social service agencies.
