Henein has taken on some tough high-profile cases, such as that of Gian Ghomeshi and Marcia Dooley (accused of murdering her seven-year-old stepson) and been the object of the wrath and derision some in the public feel free to hurl her way. The rule of law provides for everyone charged to have the best defense from their lawyer; her role is not to judge the guilt or innocence of her client, but ensure the legal truths in the system are upheld. She defends the client, not his or her crime. Henein has much to say about the role of women in a society where women’s work is often unpaid. Among those who come under her scrutiny is Martha Stewart who she believes has reinforced the belief that women must always be perfect mothers and homemakers. She deplores the fact so many women are leaving the profession, pressured by the demands of work and motherhood. When asked how she has managed to have a happy marriage, two sons and such a successful career, she credits the support of her husband but simply says she just does it. COVER: I do like the cover of the book. I love that it's simple and that they used the word to The Star Spangled Banner in the form of a flag; I think that's pretty clever. The film received its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival on September 8, 2008, with the cast in attendance. Yari Film Group was to give the film a limited release in the United States (Los Angeles and New York City) on December 19, 2008, but due to the Chapter 11 protection that was filed by the company, Nothing but the Truth was pulled from its scheduled date and has never been released in theaters.

there is no doubt the author is a raging liberal feminist, demanding her rights to do in high heels and high fashion what men do in sensible shoes and button down collars. that is the shortcoming of the book for me though i am not sure why i expected anything different. well, i did not expect anything different but did not anticipate feeling so belaboured by it all. Gänswein says that Benedict expressed “some perplexity” about the resulting apostolic exhortation on the family, Amoris laetitia, questioning “the meaning of some [foot]notes, which usually signal the citation of a source, while in this case they expressed significant content,” and wondering why “a certain ambiguity had been allowed to hover in that document” after its publication. When four cardinals issued “ dubia” seeking clarification, Benedict was reportedly surprised that they went unanswered, but he otherwise maintained a “rigorous” silence. At some point in my 16 years of teaching, I learned that reading students and communicating proactively are essential survival skills. It is part of my job to call a student's parents when they get less than a C in my class. It is part of my job to call home if a student seems upset about my class. If I expect the school administrators to represent my perspective when talking to parents, then I will probably be disappointed. People only know what you tell them, so the parents are going to assume I'm insane unless I speak directly to them. Throughout, Gänswein sees “the true face of one of the greatest protagonists of the history of the last century,” a figure caricatured as the “ Panzerkardinal” and “God’s Rottweiler.” He says that the recollections that follow will offer a “personal testimony” to Benedict XVI’s greatness, “shed some light on misunderstood aspects of his pontificate,” and “describe from the inside the real ‘Vatican world.’” One could discuss at length whether or not it was prudent to publish the book right after the death of the pope emeritus. However, the message Gänswein wants to send is not that of controversy. Gänswein recounts his years with Benedict XVI, even removing a few pebbles from his shoe, but without entering into polemical tones with anyone.Gänswein explains the situation, recalling that Sarah asked Benedict XVI to sign a press release to defend the operation. Gänswein was against it; Benedict XVI took time to think and then drew up a statement deferring the decision to his superiors. And Pope Francis let it be known that it was better not to publish. The archbishop describes the unraveling of his relationship with Pope Francis, recalling an occasion when the pope asked him not to join him on a visit to Rome’s Sant’Egidio Community, leaving him with a feeling of humiliation. He also expresses frustration at the pope’s decision that he should not move into an apartment in the Apostolic Palace traditionally allocated to the head of the Prefecture of the Papal Household (later occupied by Vatican “foreign minister” Archbishop Paul Gallagher.)

Eventually, Judge Hall accepts that Armstrong will never give in and divulge her source. And so, convinced that incarcerating her can serve no useful purpose, and since she has not been convicted of any offense, decides to release her from jail. On the day she is released, Dubois has the U.S. Marshals arrest her, and charges her for obstruction of justice, and convinces her to take a deal for a shortened sentence rather than go to trial. She agrees to two years in prison, with the possibility of early parole for good behavior. As Armstrong is taken to the prison facility, she reminisces about her time as a volunteer at Timmy's school: Once, on a field trip, she spoke to Van Doren's daughter, Alison. Alison innocently mentioned that her mother worked for "the government", and had recently gone to Venezuela on "business", thus revealing her as the original source. An intimate and no-holds-barred memoir by Canada's top defence lawyer, Nothing But the Truth weaves Marie Henein's personal story with her strongly held views on society's most pressing issues, legal and otherwise. The chapter presents Ratzinger’s ascent through the Church hierarchy as a work of Providence rather than ambition. Unlike some priests prizing Roman positions, Ratzinger did not focus on fluency in Italian. He learned it during the Second Vatican Council, “albeit somewhat poorly, using the didactic method of 33 rpm records.” He only got to grips with the language after arriving in Rome in 1981. Gänswein explains that Ratzinger agreed to serve as prefect of the Vatican’s doctrinal congregation on condition that he could still publish his own theological reflections. Gänswein comments that “without the outlet of theological production, the ‘pressure cooker’ of his intellect would not have had a safety valve and would have exploded.”Gänswein also expresses anguish at the pope’s request, in the wake of the celibacy book controversy, that he devote his time entirely to helping Benedict, quoting letters in which the pope emeritus encouraged Francis to allow Gänswein to continue performing the prefect’s duties, to no avail. The German archbishop recounts a later phone call with Francis in which he asked unsuccessfully whether he could return to the role.
