Trial Lawyer Martin Garbus on Defending the ‘Cuban Five'

12:00–2:00 p.m.

108 West 3rd Street ,10012 (view map)

This event has passed.

His courtroom skills earned him a reputation as a legendary trial lawyer, and in his new book, Martin Garbus zeroes in on one of his most high-profile cases: defending five Cuban men charged in connection with the 1996 downing of two planes over Havana. What lessons can we draw from this case about the U.S. justice system, American politics, and the complicated relationship between the U.S. and Cuba? Garbus examines these questions in North of Havana: The Untold Story of Dirty Politics, Secret Diplomacy, and the Trial of the Cuban Five.
