Download or read book The Witness Stand and Lawrence S Wrightsman Jr written by Cynthia Willis-Esqueda and published by Springer. This book was released on 2015-11-25 with total page 179 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique volume salutes the work of pioneering forensic psychologist Lawrence S. Wrightsman, Jr., by presenting current theorizing and research findings on issues that define the field of psychology and law. Ongoing topics in witness behaviors, suspect identification, and juror decision making illustrate how psychology and law complement and also conflict at various stages in legal processes. The book also sheds light on evolving areas such as DNA exonerations, professional trial consulting, and jury selection strategies, and the distinct challenges and opportunities these issues present. Noted contributors to the book include Wrightsman himself, who offers salient observations on the field that he continues to inspire. Featured among the topics: The credibility of witnesses. Psychological science on eyewitness identification and the U.S. Supreme Court. False confessions, from colonial Salem to today. Identifying juror bias: toward a new generation of jury selection research. Law and social science: how interdisciplinary is interdisciplinary enough? Race and its place in the American legal system. With its diverse mix of perspectives and methodologies, The Witness Stand and Lawrence S. Wrightsman, Jr. will interest forensic researchers in academic and applied settings, as well as individuals working in the legal system, such as attorneys, judges and law enforcement personnel.
Download or read book From the Bench to the Witness Stand written by Enrique Vázquez Quintana M.D. and published by Archway Publishing. This book was released on 2023-02-22 with total page 263 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When a renowned Puerto Rican surgeon is slapped with a malpractice suit out of nowhere that defies all trustworthy existing scientific knowledge, he must face the absurdity and injustice of all levels of the local courts up to the P.R. Supreme Court, and later advance to Appellate and Supreme Courts of the U.S. He describes his insights into the failures of the system toward common citizens and the backroom deals that define our legal practices: the faulty, highly politicized selection of judges and justices; deficient preparation and evaluation of lawyers and, above all, the perceived absolute immunity and impunity of judges who answer to no one for their failures in applying the law. It is a thought-provoking read that will challenge the notion that the legal system exists to protect the rights of all citizens.

Download or read book Crossing Hitler written by Benjamin Carter Hett and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2008-09-18 with total page 371 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During a 1931 trial of four Nazi stormtroopers, known as the Eden Dance Palace trial, Hans Litten grilled Hitler in a brilliant and merciless three-hour cross-examination, forcing him into multiple contradictions and evasions and finally reducing him to helpless and humiliating rage (the transcription of Hitler's full testimony is included.) At the time, Hitler was still trying to prove his embrace of legal methods, and distancing himself from his stormtroopers. The courageous Litten revealed his true intentions, and in the process, posed a real threat to Nazi ambition. When the Nazis seized power two years after the trial, friends and family urged Litten to flee the country. He stayed and was sent to the concentration camps, where he worked on translations of medieval German poetry, shared the money and food he was sent by his wealthy family, and taught working-class inmates about art and literature. When Jewish prisoners at Dachau were locked in their barracks for weeks at a time, Litten kept them sane by reciting great works from memory. After five years of torture and hard labor-and a daring escape that failed-Litten gave up hope of survival. His story was ultimately tragic but, as Benjamin Hett writes in this gripping narrative, it is also redemptive. "It is a story of human nobility in the face of barbarism." The first full-length biography of Litten, the book also explores the turbulent years of the Weimar Republic and the terror of Nazi rule in Germany after 1933. [in sidebar] Winner of the 2007 Fraenkel Prize for outstanding work of contemporary history, in manuscript. To be published throughout the world.
