Looking for a good source on the trial of Gaius Verres, Governor of Sicily, for corruption in 70 CE. Any ancillary sources on Roman trials, procedure and law dearly appreciated. It's for a historical fiction project.

English is strongly preferred, Latin is acceptable. My German extends only to a few basics, niceties and being really rude. I don't know any other language to a useful degree.

Then I would suggest Michael Alexander, Trials in the Late Roman Republic, 149 BC to 50 BC, Toronto 1990, but not having read it myself I cannot vouch for its quality.
