"Easier" because it is obvious who bungled this verdict
I am skeptical that I will read anything "new" in this book, after having followed this case here over the last 3 years. The only "new" thing I expect will be insight into Jeff Ashton's personal experience, which I hope he shares. As for the Anthony's, I don't trust nothin' to be "new", just embellished and confabulated.
The role Jeff Ashton played in this trial puts him in a very different category from the "rest of 'em". I personally don't see his career as being tainted by this loss, the case he and his compadres presented was sound enough to convince a majority of at least manslaughter.
I can do a very good job as a nurse with a complex patient, and have the patient's family see me as falling short for whatever reason. I KNOW I did everything in my power, used every critical thinking and proactive thing I could possibly do as a nurse. My judgment of my performance is only partially dependent upon other people's judgment. This is how you get when you've been doing what you do for twenty years (in my case) and many more years (in Ashton's case).
So, I won't assume Ashton's motivation to write his book is based upon his insecurities. It isn't consistent with his previous behavior, anyway.
