Download or read book Burn Patterns written by Martin Preib and published by . This book was released on 2018-10-12 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Preib's is a voice that has almost never been heard in American writing..." - Jonathan Yardley, Washington Post In this, his second book about a Chicago murder case in which an offender walked out of death row, award-winning writer and police officer Martin Preib documents his journey from doubt to certainty that the offender in this case should not have been released from prison. Preib's earlier book, Crooked City, undermined the central so-called "wrongful conviction" case that was seminal in generating an industry in Illinois aimed at overturning convictions. Now Preib moves beyond that case to the Madison Hobley arson, meticulously unraveling, strand by strand, the convoluted tapestry of Chicago's corruption that led to a 2003 pardon of Hobley by Illinois Governor George Ryan, allowing Hobley to walk free from the 1987 arson on Chicago's South Side that left seven people dead, including his own wife and child. Preib's ruminations run deep and wide, taking full account of the complex legal and political forces behind the Hobley exoneration. Preib's account of Hobley's crime, conviction, and exoneration leads him through painful self-discovery to startling revelations as he plumbs the depths of the city's corruption and confronts the forces that are trying to silence him. PRAISE FOR MARTIN PREIB "Now this indestructible writer has fused his stories into a remarkable first book--an essay that is a memoir, and also something that is very like a prayer..." - William Kennedy, author of Ironweed, on Preib's The Wagon "The Wagon is about the real Chicago..." - John Kass, Chicago Tribune "The depiction of what it is really like to be a cop--in all its sadly hilarious glory--is what makes this book work so well..." - Sarah Weinman, author of Confessions of an Idiosyncratic Mind, on The Wagon

Download or read book Scientific Protocols for Fire Investigation Third Edition written by John J. Lentini and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2018-09-28 with total page 609 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Scientific Protocols for Fire Investigation, Third Edition focuses on the practical application of fundamental scientific principles to determine the causes of fires. Originally published in 2006, the First Edition was very well received by fire investigators and those who work with them. Since fire investigation is a rapidly evolving field—driven by new discoveries about fire behavior—the Second Edition was published in late 2012. This latest, fully updated Third Edition reflects the most recent developments in the field. Currently, serious research is underway to try to understand the role of ventilation in structure fires. Likewise, there is improved understanding of the kinds of errors investigators can make that lead to incorrect determinations of the causes of fires. In addition to the scientific aspects, the litigation of fire related events is rapidly changing, particularly with respect to an investigator's qualifications to serve as an expert witness. This book covers these latest developments and ties together the changing standards for fire investigations with the fundamental scientific knowledge presented in the early chapters of the book. The book is intended for those individuals who have recently entered the field of fire investigation, and those who are studying fire investigation with a plan to become certified professionals. In addition, professionals in the insurance industry who hire fire investigators will find this an invaluable resource. Insurance companies have sustained significant losses by hiring individuals who are not qualified, resulting in cases being settled or lost at a cost of millions. Insurance adjusters and investigators will learn to recognize quality fire investigations and those that are not up to today's standards. Lastly, this book is also for the many attorneys who litigate fire cases. Written with language and terms that make the science accessible even to the non-scientist, this new edition will be a welcome resource to any professional involved in fire and arson cases.
Download or read book Burned written by Edward Humes and published by Penguin. This book was released on 2019-01-08 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Was a monstrous killer brought to justice or an innocent mother condemned? On an April night in 1989, Jo Ann Parks survived a house fire that claimed the lives of her three small children. Though the fire at first seemed a tragic accident, investigators soon reported finding evidence proving that Parks had sabotaged wiring, set several fires herself, and even barricade her four-year-old son inside a closet to prevent his escape. Though she insisted she did nothing wrong, Jo Ann Parks received a life sentence without parole based on the power of forensic fire science that convincingly proved her guilt. But more than a quarter century later, a revolution in the science of fire has exposed many of the incontrovertible truths of 1989 as guesswork in disguise. The California Innocence Project is challenging Parks's conviction and the so-called science behind it, claiming that false assumptions and outright bias convicted an innocent mother of a crime that never actually happened. If Parks is exonerated, she could well be the "Patient Zero" in an epidemic of overturned guilty verdicts—but only if she wins. Can prosecutors dredge up enough evidence and roadblocks to make sure Jo Ann Parks dies in prison? No matter how her last-ditch effort for freedom turns out, the scenes of betrayal, ruin, and hope will leave readers longing for justice we can trust.
