FT. LAUDERDALE, Fla., July 1, 2004 (PRIMEZONE) -- No system is ever really perfect, even in America. In his new book, A Possible Ailment vs. a Defiance of the Judicial System (now available through AuthorHouse), author Powers illustrates the common failures of the American courts and draws attention to the people who hide the embarrassing truth from the public.
Using his own case, Powers examines what he feels is a "failure of the system." The book recounts his journey through the legal proceedings of his case, where he represented himself. According to Powers, the courts may not have been ready for a regular citizen to take over his own defense.
"No matter how complex our judicial system is, it may not have been prepared to deal with a possible ailment or prepared to deal with a state of defiance from a layman. The reader may want to choose which one he or she wants to examine because both of the variables may be very interesting in understanding," Powers says.
Throughout the book, Powers illustrates the inconsistencies and blunders he feels the court made.
"In being human we all make mistakes. However, it depends on a person's title or position that determines whether a mistake will be ultimately acknowledged. There may exist a need by others to want me to direct an attack in a specific direction. Any direction away from understanding that there had occurred a breakdown in our judicial system would be suitable," Powers says.
A Possible Ailment vs. a Defiance of the Judicial System is a candid, inside look at the limitations and failures of the American justice system.
Powers was a short-order cook for 11 years before entering into the tree service and trash hauling business. He co-authored the book, A Walk Through the Neighborhood, which is a collaboration with three other writers in Broward County, Fla. to raise awareness about illiteracy.
