"Riveting..." Kirkus ReviewsLAWYER GAMES is the TRUE story of the murder case that gave rise to the book and Clint Eastwood directed motion picture, Midnight In The Garden Of Good And Evil. But this book goes far beyond the boundaries of a single murder case. No reader of LAWYER GAMES will ever again look the same way at a criminal trial.In the early morning of May 2, 1981, Danny Hansford was shot dead by James Williams with a World War II vintage Luger in a historic Savannah mansion. For the next eight-and-a-half years, through four murder trials and intrigue which reached the highest levels of Georgia politics-including a former governor and the Georgia Supreme Court-lawyers battled over whether the 50-year-old Williams shot the 21-year-old Hansford in self-defense.Written by Dep Kirkland, who arrived at the scene when Hansford's body was still on the floor, Lawyer Games is the true story of this remarkable case. Kirkland, the Chief Assistant DA at the time, made the decision to arrest Williams and tried the first of four murder trials alongside the district attorney. His firsthand knowledge allows him not only to deeply analyze the murder case but also to expose the legal mischief spawned when a defendant facing unshakable physical evidence possesses almost unlimited funds.LAWYER GAMES is not merely the story of an infamous murder case. It is the story of lawyer obfuscation, subterfuge and manipulation of the criminal trial process. These are common tools of a certain species of defense lawyer. LAWYER GAMES demonstrates the connection by drawing parallels with other high-profile criminal defendants, including O.J. Simpson, Phil Spector, Angelo Bruno (one of two Hillside Stranglers) and others.True crime aficionados will be drawn to the two stories told in the book: The riveting story of the case, its evidence (including facts never heard in the courtroom), trials and results, and the incredible eight-year campaign to beat a murder rap no matter what, with a look behind the curtain at a darker side of the American criminal justice system.

Review "A meticulous, intuitive, and riveting nonfiction work . . . Kirkland uses firsthand experience and trial records to tell the story of a Savannah, Georgia, shooting death that spawned a best-selling book and movie . . ." -Kirkus Reviews"This nonfiction book often resembles a torrid TV drama." -Kirkus Reviews
From the Author As the craze over the "Midnight" book and film swept Savannah up in its wake over the years, continuing to the present day, I had been told again, again, and again, "You have to write that book," meaning the truth about the murder, the case, and the aftermath. But I had moved on and was very busy with other things, so I didn't take up that challenge, until it came up once again, all the way out in Hollywood and all these years after the fact. So, I finally dove into the morass, to wrestle with the octopus known as the "Williams" case. The octopus reference is probably one reason I resisted for so long--my knowledge of the events surrounding the case, which went far deeper than the public understood, and far deeper than a certain book even attempted to explain--and my own maniacal attention to detail. I was right on both counts, considering the task took well over two years. But I'm thankful for having completed this unfinished business, for the sake of the truth, for the sake of the hard work of all those involved over all those years, and for the sake of the oft-forgotten victim, Danny Hansford. People who are not model citizens are citizens nonetheless, and he deserved better. Hopefully this book will help.
About the Author Dep Kirkland is a writer, actor, and director currently living in California. A Savannah native, Dep entered the legal field after UGA Law School, practicing privately and in two stints with the District Attorney's Office, the second as Chief Assistant. Later appointed to head a state agency, Dep was recruited to design an Anti-Piracy Task Force for the Satellite Broadcasting & Communications Association, creating a national task force of former FBI agents, while serving as the SBCA's General Counsel.Dep was admitted to practice before state and federal courts including the U.S. Supreme Court. He served as Chair of the State Bar Prison & Jail Problems Committee, vice-chair of the ABA Criminal Justice Section Corrections & Sentencing Committee, and chair of subcommittees on Correctional Education, Electronic Incarceration, and Victim Restitution. A graduate of the NDAA Career Prosecutor Course, Dep was also named a Life Fellow of the Georgia Bar Foundation. He was also cross-designated as a federal prosecutor.Dep later left the SBCA to serve as a consultant to the Edison Project, a planned nationwide network of cutting-edge private schools conceived by Chris Whittle, the visionary founder and head of Whittle Communications, working with Benno Schmidt, the former President of Yale University, and Hamilton Jordan, former Chief of Staff to President Jimmy Carter.Eventually, to the momentary consternation of his mother, Dep walked away from the legal field to pursue his dream--acting, writing, and directing for the stage and film. He moved to New York City and studied with renowned acting teacher, mentor and friend, Fred Kareman.Now residing in the Los Angeles area, Dep continues to act, write, direct and produce, for the stage, television and film. He is currently Chairman of Isle of Hope Entertainment, LLC and is launching production of the first of a series of nine feature films.

No spoilers but book makes things very clear as to who did what and puts the finger on crooked lawyers.savannah is my home town and makes me sad that the people i grew up respecting are just a bunch of dishonest cads.
0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Couldn't put it down By rdlemmon Absolutely amazing! I first saw this book online and knew I had to get my hands on it. I was a huge fan of "Midnight" but felt there was more to the story. "Lawyer Games" fills in all the missing pieces...and them some. I had many questions about the Wiliams' trials and no where to find the answers. Dep Kirkland has written an astounding account of this murder mystery. He takes you into the scene of the crime and beyond with true and fascinating details that only a person connected to the story could do.A 5 star read! I would recommend the "Deluxe Edition" with color photos.
