Attorney Cara Robertson steps into the Interrogation Room to answer a few questions about her writing and craft. Cara began researching the Lizzie Borden case in 1990 as a Harvard undergrad. She's since earned a Ph.D. in English from Oxford and a JD from Stanford Law. Cara clerked at the US Supreme Court, served as a legal adviser to the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia at The Hague, and has contributed to numerous publications. Her debut work, entitled THE TRIAL OF LIZZIE BORDEN: A TRUE STORY, just released from Simon & Schuster. For this episode, Cara and Writers On The Beat host Gavin Reese discussed this historical "trial of the century;" criminal psychology and public perception; researching and writing about true crime; who Cara would trust to investigate her own murder. http://trialoflizzieborden.com/ https://gavinreese.com #writersbeat #writerslife #writerscraft #craftofwriting #lizzieborden #falselyaccused #gotawaywithmurder #framed #truecrime #cararobertson #gavinthecop #gavinreese #writingmentor #writingcoach #nonfiction #lawyer #attorney
