Coming soon to TV CONFIDENTIAL: Award-winning writer, producer and director JOSEPH WALLENSTEIN (Knots Landing, Seventh Heaven) on the backstory of the historic U.S. Supreme Court ruling on U.S. vs. Miranda in June 1966, and how two men from the opposite side of the human social spectrum, defense attorney John Flynn and career criminal Ernesto Miranda, came together to create a moment in legal history that changed their lives and the lives of all Americans. Joe’s latest book, FLYNN AND MIRANDA: Your Right to Remain Silent, is a page-turning historical novel that puts a human face on the people involved, while laying out the various legal issues in a hands-on, reader friendly way. June 13, 2021 marks the 55th anniversary of the Miranda decision. FLYNN AND MIRANDA is available through Amazon.com
