Justice in America: How the Media and Prosecutors Stack the Deck Against the Accused

J. Cheney Mason, an attorney for 43 years, holds a compelling affinity for defending the underdogs and the falsely accused. The invitation to help represent Casey Anthony was irresistible. Though she is one of the over fifty homicide cases Mason has defended in his career, he names her story as the most compelling. He attended the University of Florida and graduated from law school in 1970. Mason was elected to and served as President of the Florida Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers and is an elected Fellow of the American Board of Criminal Lawyers. He has also served two terms on the Board of Directors for the National Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers. Mason and his wife, Shirley, have been married for 41 years.
