Bio:
I'm a senior writer for the Chicago Reader, and I write mostly about race and poverty. I'm also the author of Courtroom 302, a book about the nation's busiest felony courthouse, here in Chicago. It won the Midland Authors nonfiction award for 2005 and was a finalist for the LA Times current interest award. My work has been aided by an Alicia Patterson fellowship and a Kaiser media fellowship in health. I have an honorary doctorate in humane letters from Albion College. I'm a proud product of Chicago's south side and the Ridge Country Club caddie yard, where my gambling and cussing earned me a Chick Evans scholarship to Northwestern.

What They See and What They Don't
Arrests and even criminal convictions are usually inadmissible. But this defendant's chances may have got a boost when he was allowed to tell the jury about his educational background.
