Download or read book Devil s Defender written by John Browne and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the tradition of bestselling legal memoirs from Johnnie Cochran, F. Lee Bailey, Gerry Spence, and Alan Dershowitz, John Henry Browne's memoir, The Devil's Defender, recounts his tortuous education in what it means to be an advocate—and a human being. For the last four decades, Browne has defended the indefensible. From Facebook folk hero "the Barefoot Bandit" Colton Moore, to Benjamin Ng of the Wah Mee massacre, to Kandahar massacre culprit Sgt. Robert Bales, Browne's unceasing advocacy and the daring to take on some of the most unwinnable cases—and nearly win them all—has led 48 Hours' Peter Van Sant to call him "the most famous lawyer in America." But although the Browne that America has come to know cuts a dashing and confident figure, he has forever been haunted by his job as counsel to Ted Bundy, the most famous serial killer in American history. A drug- and alcohol-addicted (yet wildly successful) defense attorney who could never let go of the case that started it all, Browne here asks of himself the question others have asked him all along: does defending evil make you evil, too?
Download or read book The Defender written by Ethan Michaeli and published by Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. This book was released on 2016-01-12 with total page 884 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This “extraordinary history” of the influential black newspaper is “deeply researched, elegantly written [and] a towering achievement” (Brent Staples, New York Times Book Review). In 1905, Robert S. Abbott started printing The Chicago Defender, a newspaper dedicated to condemning Jim Crow and encouraging African Americans living in the South to join the Great Migration. Smuggling hundreds of thousands of copies into the most isolated communities in the segregated South, Abbott gave voice to the voiceless, galvanized the electoral power of black America, and became one of the first black millionaires in the process. His successor wielded the newspaper’s clout to elect mayors and presidents, including Harry S. Truman and John F. Kennedy, who would have lost in 1960 if not for The Defender’s support. Drawing on dozens of interviews and extensive archival research, Ethan Michaeli constructs a revelatory narrative of journalism and race in America, bringing to life the reporters who braved lynch mobs and policemen’s clubs to do their jobs, from the age of Teddy Roosevelt to the age of Barack Obama. “[This] epic, meticulously detailed account not only reminds its readers that newspapers matter, but so do black lives, past and present.” —USA Today

Download or read book Defending the Devil written by Polly Nelson and published by Echo Point Books & Media. This book was released on 2019-02-04 with total page 322 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Charged with defending the convicted and unrepentant mass murderer Ted Bundy during the last three years of his life, newly-minted Washington, D. C. attorney Polly Nelson fought to keep him out of the electric chair. In the now-classic Defending the Devil, she recounts with powerful honesty her own challenging role in the drama. Viewing herself as a compassionate humanitarian first, Nelson reveals her struggle to uphold her professional vow to represent her client (and try to save his life) while simultaneously being deeply mortified by the magnitude of his heinous crimes. Bundy's legal proceedings are meticulously recounted here, offering an eye-opening glimpse into the complex judicial appeals system. In addition to her fascinating behind-the-scenes look at the court proceedings, Nelson offers her unique insight into the mind of the killer. She paints a portrait of him as something less-than the diabolical evil genius suggested by his notoriety. While making no excuses for his despicable actions and acknowledging his "absolute misogyny," Nelson explores psychological angles to the case that many previously ignored. Showing a decidedly humanist slant, she brings Bundy's overt mental illness to the fore and makes a compelling case against the use of capital punishment. While ultimately unable to stay Bundy's execution, Nelson found a true calling in the fight to appeal the sentence. With candor and wit, she shares her own personal journey of emotional and intellectual transformation as a lawyer. "I was born to represent Ted Bundy," she writes.

Book excerpt: [Text Box] fight against evil for the preservation of the environment and humanity which is an ongoing journey. As awareness of how best to preserve the environment the positives that must be taken increases, creating a virtuous circle of hope for a future where the forces of good will triumph over evil. Equally, it is imperative that we continue to support those on the frontlines of this battle so that future generations can inherit a healthy and sustainable planet. Ultimately, it is our collective responsibility to protect our common home by ensuring that the fight between good and evil is won for all generations to come. The book Defenders of the Earth shows the arduous struggle between good and evil for the fate of our planet, being a narrative that has been told through various cultures and mythologies throughout history. Today, this struggle is symbolized by the conflict between sustainable practices that the world needs to adopt, which aim to preserve the environment and protect life on Earth, and destructive behaviors caused by destroyers, such as rampant pollution, irresponsible exploitation of natural resources and climate change. Heroically, those who stand up for good, work hard to raise awareness of environmental issues, develop green technologies, conserve vital ecosystems, and adopt more eco-friendly lifestyles. Working diametrically opposite to the previous idea, the forces of evil represent selfish interests, profit at any cost, and neglect the destructive consequences of their actions. To save the planet, it is essential that society as a whole unites for good, adopting practices and policies that protect our environment, promote social justice and ensure a sustainable future for generations to come. This fight requires global cooperation, ongoing education, and a fundamental shift in the way we value and preserve our common home, Earth. Finally, to save the environment and humanity, it is crucial to adopt

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Who is the 'Devil'? And what is he due? The Devil is anyone who disagrees with you. And what he is due is the right to speak his mind. He must have this for your own safety's sake because his freedom is inextricably tied to your own. If he can be censored, why shouldn't you be censored? If we put barriers up to silence 'unpleasant' ideas, what's to stop the silencing of any discussion?

The new collection of essays and articles takes the Devil by the horns by tackling five key themes: free thought and free speech, politics and society, scientific humanism, religion, and the ideas of controversial intellectuals. For our own sake, we must give the Devil his due.
