<p>Paul Butler was an ambitious federal prosecutor, a Harvard Law grad who gave up his corporate law salary to fight the good fight - until one day he was arrested on the street and charged with a crime he didn't commit. The <i>Volokh Conspiracy</i> calls Butler's account of his trial "the most riveting first chapter I have ever read."</p><p>In a book Harvard Law professor Charles Ogletree calls "a must read," Butler looks at places where ordinary citizens meet the justice system - as jurors, witnesses, and in encounters with the police - and explores what "doing the right thing" means in a corrupt system.</p><p>Since <i>Let's Get Free</i>'s publication in spring 2009, Butler has become the go-to person for commentary on criminal justice and race relations: he appeared on ABC News, <i>Good Morning America</i>, and Fox News, published op-eds in the <i>New York Times</i> and other national papers, and is in demand to speak across the country. The paperback edition brings Butler's groundbreaking and highly controversial arguments - jury nullification (voting "not guilty" in drug cases as a form of protest) , just saying "no" when the police request your permission to search, and refusing to work inside the system as a snitch or a prosecutor - to a whole new audience.</p><br>
