*By Daily Press staff*

A book examining the case of controversial spy Jonathan Pollard will be the focus of a talk Tuesday by its author Mark Shaw.

Joining Shaw, a former criminal defense lawyer who has appeared as a commentator on the O.J. Simpson case, will be Dr. Morris Pollard, father of the convicted spy. Shaw’s latest book is “Miscarriage of Justice: the Jonathan Pollard Story.”

Pollard admitted he spied for Israel in 1985 by passing U.S. documents he said contained warnings of impending terrorist attacks. His sentence to life imprisonment has made his the most controversial recent spy case in U.S. history.

Shaw will speak Tuesday Dec. 11 at 7 p.m. at the Wiesenthal Center in Beverly Hills. For more information, call 310-247-9613.
