A Silence Of Mockingbirds (2012) - Plot & Excerpts
It was an unusual move. District attorneys typically handle the high-profile stuff themselves, for obvious political reasons. But it had been a hectic couple of years for Heiser and the Corvallis Police Department. Heiser felt Joan Demarest would be the best woman for the job. He makes no bones about the fact that he appointed a woman attorney as the lead prosecutor for tactical reasons. He knew having a woman prosecutor would earn some favor with the jury in a child murder case. Demarest grew up in Corvallis and earned her law degree from the University of Oregon. The victimization of women was a common topic of discussion in her childhood home. Joan Demarest’s mother, Merry Demarest, has been a longtime member of the National Organization for Women, and has served on the organization’s national board. Demarest’s father, Harry, is the former chair of the Benton County Democratic Party. The family continues to be politically active. They campaigned heavily for Hillary Clinton during the 2008 presidential election.
