I enjoyed the documentary, it is well worth watching. Professor Dershowitz will forever be a legacy and a man to study throughout American history of Jurisprudence. His weakness of course or poor judgement has been his picks for presidents. With that being said, he is a treasure!
The review says he is "controversial"? He is controversial only 1) in the sense that any suspected bad guy (especially a still suspected pedophile) is when he never is punished for his crimes and 2) a sense that he is protected by a corrupted prosecutorial system, starting with Alex Acosta's secret grant to ,Dershowitz of a secret immunity deal covering Dershowitz's Epstein activities.. Dershowitz has still not been indicted for criminal complicity in Jeffrey Epstein's pedophilic blackmail schemes. The FBI criminal investigation has still not been re-opened after Dershowitz secured that immunity deal. There may be controversy as to Dershowitz's legal acumen since that secret immunity deal was voided some years later because its secrecy violated federal -Victim Rights Act. Dershowitz did not know that. But he knows now he no longer has immunity for his activities relating to Epstein's projects.
