Ross Mackay, the Saga of a Brilliant Criminal Lawyer: And His Big Losses and Bigger Wins in Court and in Life

by Jack Batten

Book Overview

The two murder trials held in the spring of 1962 only nineteen days apart made Canadian social and legal history. The accused in each trial, one a pimp who stabbed to death a fellow pimp, the other a thief who killed a policeman, were the last two men to be hanged in Canada. For a Toronto criminal lawyer named Ross Mackay, the trials represented just two more episodes in a tumultuous life story.
