True Cases of a Criminal Defense Attorney

Criminal defense attorney Veikko Bartel has represented murderers in court for over 13 years - in 41 homicide cases involving a total of 68 victims. He has documented the most compelling of these cases in his book "Murderers".

On this evening, he takes the audience through one such case: How does it begin? How do you meet these people, share the same space with them, listen to them - and then defend them with every tool at your disposal before the court, the press, and the public?

At the heart of the discussion is a question Bartel explores together with the audience: What must happen in a person's life for them to become a murderer - and why does it emerge in one person but not in another?
