William Landay

William Landay is the author of 《捍卫雅各布》 / Defending Jacob, discussed in 24.捍卫雅各布：相信你是我唯一的执念. The episode emphasizes his legal education and prosecutor background to explain why the novel can make courtroom procedure, grand-jury questioning, evidence strategy, and legal psychology carry the suspense.

For the wiki, Landay matters less as a general author biography than as the source of a fiction case where professional criminal-law knowledge becomes a family-ethics test. His novel lets 蜜獾吃书 connect crime fiction to Legal Truth-Evidence Gap / 法律真相与证据差距, Parental Defense Conflict / 父母辩护冲突, and Genetic Culpability Problem / 遗传归责问题.
