About the Author(s) of Anatomy of a Murder

Anatomy of a Murder has been well received by members of the legal and educational professions. In 1989, the American Bar Association rated this as one of the 12 best trial films of all time. In addition to its plot and musical score, the article noted: "The film's real highlight is its ability to demonstrate how a legal defense is developed in a difficult case. How many trial films would dare spend so much time watching lawyers do what many lawyers do most (and enjoy least) – research?" [30] The film has also been used as a teaching tool in law schools, as it encompasses (from the defense standpoint) all of the basic stages in the U.S. criminal justice system from client interview and arraignment through trial. The film was listed as No. 4 of 25 "Greatest Legal Movies" by the American Bar Association. [31] Atty. Voelker Retained by Lt. Peterson". The Mining Journal. Marquette, Michigan. August 5, 1952. p.2.

Toda esa parte me encantó, ya he dicho que me fascina, esta muy bien planteada y además no se me ha hecho para nada difícil de leer o de comprender a pesar de los muchos términos legales utilizados, pero además, este libro fue escrito en 1958, así que, también me ha resultado muy interesante ver cómo trabajaban pruebas y demás en una época con poca tecnología, nada de ADN, nada de teléfonos celulares, nada de tecnología de punta, todo se hacía a base de ingenio y verdadero trabajo de escritorio y lectura de mucha información en papel, por otro lado, también el ver detalles como el que todo mundo fumaba en todas partes, dentro del juzgado, dentro de la cárcel, en la casa de todas las personas, cosa que como sabemos, ahora es casi pecado capital. John D. Voelker (June 29, 1903– March 18, 1991), also known by his pen name Robert Traver, was a noted lawyer, author and fly fisherman from the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. Born and raised in Ishpeming, he later attended the University of Michigan Law School. His early professional career was as an attorney and county prosecutor in Marquette County. Voelker was also appointed to the Michigan Supreme Court by Governor G. Mennen Williams in 1957. He is best known as the author of the novel Anatomy of a Murder, published in 1958. The best-selling novel was turned into an Academy Award-nominated film of the same name—directed by Otto Preminger and starring James Stewart—released on July 1, 1959. Duke Ellington wrote the music for the movie. It is critically acclaimed as one of the best trial movies of all time.The author, John D. Voelker, using the pen name Robert Traver, wrote this novel shortly after being defeated in his bid for re-election for district attorney of Marquette County, MI and deciding to focus on his private law practice. This novel is based on his first big case on the “flipside” of the law as defense counsel instead of prosecutor and centered on an Army lieutenant accused of murdering a well-known local innkeeper for allegedly raping his wife. Voelker employed a little-known defense tactic in his pursuit to free his client. a b Johnston, Louis; Williamson, Samuel H. (2023). "What Was the U.S. GDP Then?". MeasuringWorth .

Me ha gustado mucho este libro, está narrado en primera persona por el que es el abogado defensor, aunque no me importa leer libros de este estilo narrativo, si que es verdad que cuando leo algo así, me quedo siempre con las ganas de saber que pasaba por la mente de otros personajes y que es imposible saberlo porque solo tenemos las impresiones que nos entrega quien narra, pero aún así tengo que decir que está tan bien escrito que no me ha hecho mucha falta esa parte.

Striking up a friendship in the process, Voelker was profiled as a subject of an " On the Road" segment with Charles Kuralt on the CBS Evening News. Voelker took the journalist with him to his beloved pond. Kuralt regarded him as one of the most interesting subjects that he had interviewed in his career.
