Harold Kasselman

I spent my formative years in Southwest Philadelphia where I played every inner-city baseball game imaginable to youngsters. I fell in love with the game of baseball.

I moved to Cherry Hill NJ. and later attended Rutgers College.I followed that up with a masters degree in teaching. I taught high school in Glen Ridge(the alma mater of Tom Cruise) and subsequently Cherry Hill East(alma mater of Orel Hersheiser).

I left teaching and went to law school and developed a love for criminal law.I was a prosecuting attorney for 30 years in Camden County N.J.where I handled literally thousands of cases including 25 murder trials.I worked in criminal defense for six years in the firm of Helmer, Conley, and Kasselman in Haddon Heights.

Now I am currently semi-retired. I know both sides of the criminal system and respect the roles both play.

This is my first novel and it combines my love of baseball and my passion for the criminal legal process.

The impetus for the novel was the increasing violence in sports and specifically retaliation in baseball. I began to wonder whether there would ever be an incident so tragic in its consequences that it would lead to a criminal charge. In my book I examine how that process would occur, whether it would be warranted, and whether it would effect the game of baseball.

I spend my time in Voorhees NJ near my daughter Jaime. I spend winters in Sarasota/Longboat Key Florida.

I hope you will add my book to your to-read list.

I have also recently begun a blog that will touch on legal criminal trials, novels, and baseball
