After two years apart from Grace, [7] he moved to Chicago. [12] After their marriage, he practiced law with the firm of Meyer, Austrian & Platt. They lived in Chicago for three years before he returned to Michigan. [8] The few jobs Voelker got in a rural area in the middle of the Great Depression barely kept them solvent. [7] Me ha gustado mucho este libro, está narrado en primera persona por el que es el abogado defensor, aunque no me importa leer libros de este estilo narrativo, si que es verdad que cuando leo algo así, me quedo siempre con las ganas de saber que pasaba por la mente de otros personajes y que es imposible saberlo porque solo tenemos las impresiones que nos entrega quien narra, pero aún así tengo que decir que está tan bien escrito que no me ha hecho mucha falta esa parte. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers – Howard Shore, John Kurlander (engineer/mixer) & Peter Cobbin (engineer/mixer) (2003) Because of some intriguing side stories about the murderer, his wife and the victim; because a rape preceded the murder; because the setting is integral to the plot, it was all in all a satisfying read. I could see the "surprise" ending coming but the tension of the trial was good and taut.

Voelker's business slowed after the Peterson trial, and by 1953 he closed his office and worked from home. In 1954, he ran for the United States Congress. [7] In 1956, he was interviewed as a possible candidate to fill a vacancy on the Michigan Supreme Court. [2] At the time, Governor G. Mennen Williams thought it was appropriate to revive a tradition of having a justice from the Upper Peninsula on the court. [21] When asked why he wanted to serve, Voelker replied, "Because I have spent my life on fiction and fishing, and I need the money".

Boyles's vacant seat on the court in December 1956, [1] [2] and Voelker was confirmed in an election in 1957 to fill out the remainder of Boyles' term.

[46] Bibliography [ edit ] Anatomy of a Murder has been well received by members of the legal and educational professions. In 1989, the American Bar Association rated this as one of the 12 best trial films of all time. In addition to its plot and musical score, the article noted: "The film's real highlight is its ability to demonstrate how a legal defense is developed in a difficult case. How many trial films would dare spend so much time watching lawyers do what many lawyers do most (and enjoy least) – research?" [30] The film has also been used as a teaching tool in law schools, as it encompasses (from the defense standpoint) all of the basic stages in the U.S. criminal justice system from client interview and arraignment through trial. The film was listed as No. 4 of 25 "Greatest Legal Movies" by the American Bar Association. [31] Shaul, Richard D. (November–December 2001). "Anatomy of a Murder" (PDF). Michigan History. 85 (6): 89.
