Summary
This document appears to be a page from a manuscript or memoir (possibly by Alan Dershowitz) discussing the moral conflict of a defense attorney. The author recounts a specific legal victory involving the 'Hurok bombing' where he utilized the status of an informant, Sheldon Seigel, and an unlawful wiretap to secure the release of clients he knew were guilty of killing a woman named Iris Kones. The text details the judge's anger directed at the attorney and the attorney's lingering guilt over the 'legally proper' but unjust result.
