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.

Download or read book Innocent Victims written by Scott Whisnant and published by Open Road Media. This book was released on 2017-02-21 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The riveting true account of a grisly crime and the unprecedented three murder trials faced by Fort Bragg soldier Tim Hennis. On Mother’s Day, 1985, the bodies of Kathryn Eastburn and her two young daughters were found in their Fayetteville, North Carolina, home. Katie, an air force captain’s wife, had been raped and stabbed to death. Kara and Erin’s throats had been slit. Their toddler sister, Jana, was the only survivor of a bloody killing spree that terrified a community still reeling from the conviction, six years prior, of Dr. Jeffrey MacDonald for the savage slayings of his pregnant wife and two daughters. The Cumberland County Sheriff’s Department soon focused its investigation on US Army soldier Tim Hennis. Detectives and local prosecutors built their case on circumstantial evidence and a jury convicted Hennis and sentenced him to death. But his defense team refused to give up. Piece by piece, they discredited the state’s case, exposing false testimony, concealed evidence, and prosecutorial misconduct. At a second trial, Hennis was found not guilty and released from death row. But an even more stunning turn of events was yet to come. Twenty-five years after the murders, the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation tested a crucial piece of DNA evidence from the crime scene. The shocking results led to an unprecedented third trial to determine Tim Hennis’s guilt or innocence. From the initial discovery of the horrifying scene at 367 Summer Hill Road to the controversial change of jurisdiction that allowed Hennis to be prosecuted for an astonishing third time, author Scott Whisnant chronicles every development in this intricate, disturbing, and still-evolving case. Has the mystery of who killed Katie, Kara, and Erin Eastburn been solved beyond a reasonable doubt? Read Innocent Victims and decide for yourself.

King Henry viii is on the throne and is burning down the monasteries; there is chaos in the country as Catholics are being persecuted. Many Catholics are either running or has gone into hiding. But it is not only the Catholics that are being hunted, witches are too. Or at least innocent people being accused of witchcraft are. So-called witches and their pets are being burnt at the stake when the real witches were using their magic to keep them out of trouble. However, For Emily Waterson, she was in real danger. Emily is a witch, not the evil sort stereotyped by old wives tales, but a good witch, as good as they come. Her only want in life is too live a quite life where her family and loved ones are safe. But that is not to be as her little sister Geraldine is the only person in her family that knows of her abilities, and for many years this was the case until a werewolf threatened the whole family while they slept in their beds. Or at least that is what Emily thought. After eradicating the threat on a cold, stormy night, she went back into her home to find that her mother had seen everything. Horrified, her father and Geraldine were woken up and everything had to be explained. Geraldine was not the secretive the little sister that Emily needed her to be. For all the time that Geraldine had known about Emilys abilities, she had held Emily over a barrel. Geraldine demanded her sister was there to answer her every beck and call. So when their parents found out about Emilys gifts, Geraldine was not happy because she could no longer get her own way. Though this would have been a relief for Emily but it put her in an even bigger danger, it was no longer their parents Geraldine was threatening to tell. It was the authorities, and therefore the witch hunters. Years went by and Emily stayed with her parents and the presence of her horrible little sister. However, Emily does have a pet cat, a black cat that has just a few strands of white fur. His name is Shadow. But shadow is no ordinary cat, Shadow is a familiar, a faerie that can only be explained a guardian angel for witches. Emily falls in love with a vampire warlock named Ervin Grossell. He is almost half a century old. He was a warlock before he was turned, which happened during the fight with the Vikings in 1066. At the time, King Harold was so concerned about the Normans invading from the South he wasnt watching the North when the Vikings attacked during the time of the battle of Hastings. Ervin fought many of the Northern foreigners, but some were so strong and fast, there was no way they could have been human. As it turns out, some of them werent, some were vampires. It was at this time that Ervin was defeated and became the person he is now. As a warlock, Ervin also had a familiar; her name was Sapphire, aptly named due to the colour of her eyes. One dreadful night, Geraldine must have had enough of the games she was playing and eventually went to the authorities with what she knows about her sister, Emily. Emilys parents caught on to what Geraldine had done and her mother snuck her out the rear of the house while her father joined the hunt and tried to lead them in the wrong direction. But with Geraldine as their official guide, their father was trying in vein to help his daughter get away. Emily and Shadow ran to the only place they thought they would be safe, Ervins and Sapphires home. They had to run through the black of night, through the pine forest and over the Brooke. Emily used her magic to destroy the wooden bridge over the Brooke, their only means of getting across. But the hunt was still on and even though Emily and Shadow was doing their best to stay safe they knew it was only a matter of time before the hunters would find a way to get over the Brooke and find them. As soon as Emily and Shadow reached Ervins house they

Download or read book Confessions of Guilt written by George Conner Thomas and published by . This book was released on 2012 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The extreme interrogation tactics permitted after the 9/11 attacks illustrate that the level of fear in society can influence the law of interrogation. In light of controversial water boarding policies and extraterritorial detention centers, what is the basis for interrogation law in the United States? What is the historical precedent for giving potential criminals the right to "remain silent" or confess to a crime? In Confessions of Guilt, esteemed scholars of law and criminal procedure George Thomas and Richard Leo tell the story of how, over the centuries, the law of interrogation moved from indifference about extreme pressure to concern over the slightest pressure, and back again. Demonstrating that the law of interrogation is inherently unstable and highly dependent on the perceived levels of threat felt by a society, the authors shed light on the nuanced and fascinating history of interrogation practices, both new and old.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At the turn of the thirteenth century, a tolerant, wealthy, and cultured society blossomed in what is now southwestern France. Occitania was the domain of the Counts of Toulouse. Its people valued poetry, music, and literature over warfare. Their language Occitan, was the lingua franca of the courts of Europe. Their troubadours traveled widely and were popular sources of news and entertainment. Tragically, their success struck fear in the minds of the pope and kings, so a brutal crusade was launched to destroy a people that sought only peace. Seven hundred years later, as the battles raged on the Normandy beaches, a sleepy little town in the Limousin woke up to what they expected to be like any other. But this day they were to have unwelcome visitors, the Waffen SS. The Chrysalis of Oc is a sweeping historical tale that links thirteenth and twentieth century France and the bloody crusades that changed the course of the world forever.
