About the Book

Counter Terrorism Issues: Case Studies in the Courtroom, Second Edition presents a panoramic view of the American judiciary’s handling of domestic terrorism in the last 30 years. As has played out in recent history, the American legal profession and judicial system bear a unique responsibility to set and maintain the balance between defending homeland security and protecting the civil liberties outlined in the Bill of Rights. These competing interests will continue to collide as the threats to our safety grow. The book examines some of the most notorious cases—the two attacks on the World Trade Center, the Oklahoma City bombing, and the Fort Hood massacre. Updates from the First Edition include a reflection on the Boston Marathon bombing, as well as an examination of the events of January 6, 2021, the subsequent legal proceedings and convictions of those involved in the assault on the U.S. Capitol, and the danger arising from increased domestic extremism and violent rhetoric from the right. Drawing extensively upon trial transcripts, witness statements, and judicial opinions, the book reviews the events and cases to demonstrate how the criminal justice system has grappled with conflicting facts and countervailing legal rights and responsibilities. Through the words of witnesses, judges, and the attorneys who tried these cases in America’s courtrooms, coverage provides important commentary on the historical/political contexts of these events, enabling readers to understand the significance of these infamous attacks on U.S. soil.

Review :
From the Foreword: “In this gutsy (Second Edition) …James Ottavio Castagnera casts the eyes of an experienced attorney on many perplexing problems, describing their impact on the American legal system since 9/11 while promoting a greater awareness of the rising threat from the American right. Castagnera’s first edition adopted a realistic but essentially optimistic tone. This update is considerably more somber. The future of the United States is up for grabs. One can only hope that the republic can complete its voyage through today’s stormy waters …”Dr. Gregory J. W. Urwin, Professor of History, Center for the Study of Force and Diplomacy, Temple University, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA
