Counterpoint Press announced Berl
Falbaum’s latest book, Justice Failed: How
“Legal Ethics” Kept Me in Prison for 26 Years. It is
the true story of a Chicago man, Alton Logan,
who was convicted of a murder he did not
commit and served 26 years in prison. Four
attorneys knew he was innocent from the out-
set because their client committed the murder.

the lawyers remained silent until their client
died more than 2 ½ decades after he commit-
ted the crime. The book is available, on pre-order, at local book-
stores, Amazon.com, Indie bound, B&N.com and other book-sell-
ing outlets on the web. Falbaum, a veteran journalist and author,
has published eight previous books, and taught journalism at
