"Broken Justice: A True Story of Race, Sex, and Revenge in a Boston
Courtroom" by Kenneth C. Edelin, MD

Broken Justice is a true story about Dr. Ken Edelin, a young, black
doctor who, because he provided abortion care, was indicted on a
charge of manslaughter by a secret Grand Jury in 1974. In January of
1975 his sensational six-week trial began before a jury which was all
white, predominantly male and overwhelmingly Catholic. The dynamic
confluences of race, sex and revenge played out in a Boston courtroom.
The book reveals, for the first time, the maneuverings and conflicts
which went on behind the scenes during the time leading up to the
trial and during the trial itself.
